Review on High Weight Capacity 260lb Heavy Duty Lockable Roof Rack Cross Bars for Forester 2014-2022/Crosstrek 2013-2017/Impreza 2012-2019 (Black Matte) - Factory Side Rail Compatible with Anti-Theft Locks by Gavin Ghram

I had to buy new cross members after my Subaru OEM front bar broke this summer. They fit perfectly and seem stronger. In addition, they give me 2-3 inches more usable bars than standard bars. I have a Thule Cascade Box on my car together with a Thule UpRide bike carrier. With the OEM handlebars, my pedals were rubbing against the Thule box. When I went through a pothole that caused my bike to rock back and forth and broke the crossbar, my pedal on the side of the Thule box broke. With these new handlebars, I have a few inches of clearance between the pedal and the gearbox, which is nice. I also like the added weight rating because it allows me to load climbing gear into a Thule box with more confidence. I only got them on this fall so don't know about durability, but they seem stiffer than OEM bars. But so far satisfied.
