The back bone of any roof rack system is its CrossBars. Yakima's round bars are extremely strong and always give you an even attachment surface.

Works like it should
They seem sturdy and strong. I haven't tested it to it's rated weight limit yet, but I have no doubt they will hold up. Installation was pretty easy. They look great, and really give me a lot more storage options.
Simple to install
Just lay everything out and follow directions. We put it on our Mazda 3 with little problem. We just got done with a 14 hr road trip with mountain bikes on top. NO Problems
Great bars
These are a little on the expensive side but once I got them installed on my sportsman rack, everything was exceptionally tight! I will probably add another bed rack @ take the cab rack off!
Pricey, but easy to install
Once we sat down and looked over the paperwork, it didn't take long to figure everything out and put the whole system together. We ordered everything we would need to carry at least two kayaks on our Corolla. Had out first trip over the weekend and the racks went on easy, and rather than spend another $35 on locks, we pop the racks off and stow them in the back seat while we are out on the water--takes seconds to do this. Downside: Is the cost to swap out the kayak part of the rack system to haul two bikes instead.
