Question 1

Bars Design

Accepted Answer

These steel bars are a really high quality product, they are all about functionality and are really the workhorse, they are suitable for carrying all sorts of cargo such as bike racks, roof boxes, ikea furniture or anything else you can think of. They have a load carrying capacity of 75KG which is plenty for most users. Of course they also come with strict approval ratings from TUV in Germany.

Question 2

Design

Accepted Answer

The mounting kits are designed specifically to fit your car and the foot packs exactly follow the contours of your roof, unlike a lot of roof bars that have much more generic fittings where one model of rack will fit a whole range of different cars and that gives you great confidence when you’re fitting the product. The design of these bars is really well thought out, they were clearly designed by group of people who actually use and understand what you need in a roof rack and again that becomes evident when you’re fitting them because despite there being quite a lot of separate components they all go together logically and easily.

There are some really nice touches too, such as the measurement scale on the underside of the cross bars which helps you position the feet in exactly the right place. The special tightening tool that comes in the kit actually fits into the foot of the bars, and that’s where you store it, so you’re never searching around the house for the right size allen key again.
