Roof rack
 

Hello everyone

I would like to know if there a roof rack to carry my mountain bike? If you know a aftermarket model ???

Thanks :worship:

I believe a lot of people put the wheels in the trunk and the bike in the back seat. ;)

Others have installed a trailer hitch apparatus and had the bike rack come off of that in the rear.

I haven't heard of a roof rack for the 8 though.

Go to http://www.yakima.com They have different configurations to suit varying styles of bikes. Your cheapest bet to to do as 4years suggested or go with a hitch mount rack


This is their base system for the RX8. You can add the different mounts and brackets that you'll need for your bike.

Thank you very much !!!! tiggerlee

I found exacly what I want !!!

Very nice find, I had no idea Yakima had a nifty online configurator like that. I'm seriously looking at this as well since there are so many biking opportunities in Seattle :ylsuper:

No problem. My brother got one from them for his wife's car. He says they're good heavy duty construction and likes that he can just order different brackets if he ever changes bike styles. They also have some security features he likes as well.

I am thinking about getting one for my RX8 for my kayak. Yakima makes one for the 8 for canoe's and kayaks also...

I can't imagine putting a roof rack on an 8.

I didn't even put my satellite antenna on the outside of the car, let alone a roof rack.

I must carry my bike each two weeks for competitions....
If you have better idea lets know it to us !!!!! :rock:

Yakima has one

can u post a larger pic of your 8 with the kayak and roof rack please .. thanks brian

So, the roof clips hook into the weather-seal area at the top of the doors?

Why does it look like the clip goes over the entire top of the door frame? It would be impossible to open or close the door...

I tried posting a larger pic but I keep getting a database error so I'll have to try again later

I hope this helps.

thanks, that worked for me..

Wow, another bikee - I haven't raced competition for years, but it is still so cool that a rider would also go for an RX-8 - good luck - what events do you ride? (Mine was Centuries)
