Bar Aerodynamics
Don’t let the good looks fool you. Streamline aerofoil wing-like bar shape, PerformaRidge™ design and our PerformaFill™ technology put a premium on performance. No longer are crossbars a hindrance. The aerodynamics of this design reduces drag and noise to nearly zero. The result is a quiet, fuel-efficient ride that lasts for years and exceeds even the most rigorous standards.
Yakima SmartFoot Technology
Yakima SmartFoot™ is a mounting system that seamlessly attaches to your vehicle like no other. The sleek fitting kits serve as the foundation for your rack, and are quick and easy to install.
Our fitting kits are designed specifically for the make and model of your vehicle, ensuring a secure fit.
And Yakima SmartFoot is truly modular — should you decide to set up a rack on another similarly-sized vehicle, just get a new Yakima SmartFoot roof rack fit kit and transfer — no need to get a whole new rack.
