 | «return to all Honda Crosstour rack questions & answers
«return to all general vehicle rack questions & answers Posted: 6/6/2011
Question: How can I carry four road bikes on a 2010 Honda Crosstour? I'm confused as to how I would attach a rack to the Honda Accord Crosstour bare roof top in order to get the cross bars that I could then attach the bike carriers? Is this correct? I am interested in both Yakima Racks and Thule Racks options if possible.
Answer: You'll need to first install a multi-purpose base rack system on the 2010 Honda Crosstour car top. With the general purpose roof rack in place, you can then attach the bike carriers to the crossbars. For your vehicle we highly recommend the Thule 480 Traverse roof rack system (includes a set of four Thule 480 Traverse Feet, set of 1588 Traverse Fit Kit clips and a pair of 58 inch load bars with end caps). Additionally, you have the option to also use the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse roof rack system (includes a Thule 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, a set of the same 1588 Traverse Fit Kit clips and a pair of RB53 53" Rapid Aero load bars with end caps). This system works exactly the same way as the regular 480 Traverse roof rack system except that you will be using the premium Thule Rapid Aero load bars instead of the classic square load bars included with the regular 480 Traverse roof rack system. From Yakima Racks you can use the Yakima Q Towers roof rack system (includes a set of four Q Towers, a pair of Q102 clips & a pair of Q116 clips and a pair of 58” cross bars with end caps). Likewise, Inno Racks offers the IN-SU roof rack base system (includes four Inno IN-SU Stays, set of Inno K587 Hooks and a pair of B147 58” cross bars with end caps; locks are also included with this system).
With any of these multi-purpose base racks installed, you can then connect any roof bike carriers to the cross bars and achieve a complete 2010 Honda Crosstour roof bike rack set up. Virtually all bike racks are universal mounting, allowing you to choose the model that you like best, independent of whether it is the same manufacturer as the base rack system. In general, you have two basic roof mount bike rack categories to choose from: 1) upright mount bike racks, where you leave the bike wheels on and load the entire bike onto the rack / 2) fork mount bike racks, where you take the front wheel off and mount the bike fork to the bike rack fork mount block & quick-release skewer.
Please note that if you are using the Thule 480R Rapid Traverse roof rack system, some Thule bike carriers require the use of a Thule Xadapt Kit to mount the carrier to the Rapid Aero load bars. Each Thule bike rack product page specifies if a Thule Xadapt Kit is required or not with the bike rack. However, all roof mount bike carriers will mount directly to the square load bars included with the regular Thule 480 Traverse and Inno IN-SU system as well as the round crossbars on the Yakima Q Towers system. Not Sure What Rack System Will Best Meet Your Needs?
The experts at ORS Racks Direct will gladly provide a personalized rack solution, detailing the best and most cost-effective system for your gear equipment carrying needs.
