Question:

I have a 2023 Mazda CX-9. It has the side rails running along the roof. I would like to add a set of crossbars to mount my bike rack or cargo box when I go on road trips. Is there a set that will work for my CX-9 and give me enough capacity?

Expert Reply:

Yes, there is a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2023 Mazda CX-9. These mount directly to the side rails and will have more than enough capacity for a bike rack or cargo box. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2

RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRCL4

Rear Wedges for Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - 8.72 mm - Qty 2 item # RRSUB0671

Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC Series Roof Rack Legs Fixed Mounting item # RRRCP46-BK

This aero bar roof rack system has a 176 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

I have linked a picture, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your CX-9.
