We Tested the ROCKBROS Suction Bike Roof Rack: Worth It?

In our recent testing of the ROCKBROS Sucker Bike Rack, we were impressed by how quickly this suction cup system installs on virtually any car roof. The aluminum alloy construction strikes a nice balance between durability and lightweight design. We particularly appreciated the quick-release mechanism, which made loading and unloading our bike a breeze compared to traditional rack systems.

During our highway test, the suction cups maintained their grip admirably, though we did check them periodically on longer journeys as a precaution. The rack accommodates one bicycle securely, and we found the absence of permanent fixings to be a major advantage for those of us who don’t want to modify our vehicles with permanent hardware.

Overall, this ROCKBROS rack offers an interesting solution for cyclists who need occasional transport flexibility.

We Put the Snailfly Jeep Crossbars to the Ultimate Test

After weeks of testing the Snailfly Heavy-Duty Crossbars on a 2022 Grand Cherokee WL, we’re thoroughly impressed. These roof rack bars truly live up to their advertised 220-pound capacity. We loaded them with four kayaks (roughly 180 pounds combined) for a weekend adventure, and they remained rock-solid throughout our 200-mile journey over varied terrain.

Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without specialized tools. The upgraded design specifically engineered for the 2021-2025 Grand Cherokee L and 2022-2025 WL models ensures a perfect fit with no drilling required.

We particularly appreciated the aerodynamic profile that minimized wind noise even at highway speeds. The black powder-coated finish not only looks sleek but has proven resistant to scratches and weather exposure.

For Jeep owners seeking reliable cargo solutions, these crossbars deliver exceptional performance for the price.

We Tested the ARKSEN Universal Roof Rack: Is It Worth It?

After putting the ARKSEN 64 x 39 x 4 inch Universal Roof Rack through its paces on our recent camping expedition, we’re impressed with its performance. The 150-pound capacity easily handled our gear, and the spacious storage area accommodated everything from luggage to our kayak.

Installation was straightforward on our SUV, taking us about 30 minutes with basic tools. We appreciated the durable steel construction that showed no signs of stress even when fully loaded. The extension feature proved particularly useful when we needed to transport longer items.

While driving at highway speeds, we noticed minimal wind noise – a pleasant surprise for a roof rack of this size. The rack remained secure throughout our 300-mile journey, including some rough back roads.

For the price point, we found the ARKSEN offers excellent value compared to premium brands with similar features.
