SmartFoot technology has been developed to install equipment on standard car rails. But for quick installation, you need to buy a mounting kit that is suitable only for a particular car.
The contour of the crossbars was developed by the company's engineers using the PerformaRidge technology. It allows you to control the flow of air, which reduces the resistance of the car and the noise in the cabin when driving at high speeds. For this, the Yakima trunk (Whispbar) is considered the quietest.
Corrosion resistance was tested by Yakima engineers using UV light. Also, the product was exposed to substances that affect color fastness. The trunk passed all the tests for "excellent".
Yakima (Whispbar) is offered in two colors: black and silver. The first option has an additional powder coating, which is responsible for maintaining the saturation of shades after 2-3 years of use.
The luxury segment for roof racks is noise reduction, aerodynamic shapes and anti-vandal locks that prevent intruders. But if the car will soon be sold, it is worth looking for cheaper options.
