Choose a category

Base roof racks

• A roof rack system includes three components: cross bars that run horizontally across a vehicle's roof, towers and fit kits or clips
• Cross bars serve as the base for attaching other racks, such as cargo roof boxes, roof bike racks or kayak racks

Bike racks

Options include:

• Bike hitch racks attach to a vehicle trailer hitch
• Roof bike racks secure your bike to cross bars by attaching the bike's fork, frame or wheels
• Trunk car racks attach to trunks or rear hatches with straps

Watercraft racks

Options like J-cradles are designed to carry kayaks, paddle boards or canoes

Ski and snowboard racks

Roof-mounted options require crossbars while hitch-mounted options secure skis and snowboards on the back of the vehicle

Cargo roof boxes

These hard-sided containers mount to a roof rack and keep gear secure. They're versatile for storing long, loose or odd-size gear in an enclosed system.

Where on your car do you want to haul gear?

• Roof carriers leave your trunk free but require lifting gear overhead
• Trailer hitch racks secure gear on the back of your vehicle

Which rack fits your vehicle?

Use brand guides find car racks that fit your vehicle.

Some bags attach directly to a bike's frame, while others require a rack mounted over one of the wheels.

Different ways to haul gear on your bike

• Bike cargo rack: A stable frame mounted over one of the wheels; you can strap gear directly onto the rack or use bags designed to attach to them, such as panniers
• Panniers: Roomy bags popular among commuters; they're easy to detach from the bike rack so you can take your gear with you
• Frame bag: Fits in the main triangle of your bike frame; ideal for carrying smaller, heavier items
• Trunk bag: Secures to a bike rack; many have plastic sheets to reinforce the base area and retain a structured shape
• Handlebar bag: Keeps gear within easy reach; attaches to handlebars with straps or clamps
• Saddle pack: Fits under the bike seat for small items like a multi-tool or patch kit; larger versions designed for bikepacking carry more
• Bike basket: Great for taller or odd-shaped items like grocery bags since baskets don't have lids; front baskets attach to handlebars
• Bike trailer for cargo: Keeps weight off the bike frame and you lets pull heavier loads behind you
