Question:
Is there a flush mount option for the Rocky Mounts MachTen roof bike tray? Thanks, Jared

Hey Jared. The RockyMounts MachTen Roof Bike Rack item # RKY97MR can only be attached to roof racks with the included clamps. It does not have the ability to be mounted in the channels on crossbars.
The Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # KU32VR is the closest comparable option that can. This bike rack can be mounted with clamps or attached directly to crossbar channels. This bike rack has a bit higher capacity at 67 lbs over the RockyMounts item # RKY97MR that tops out at 45 lbs.
What kind of roof rack do you have?
