Our Review: Subaru Forester Roof Bars – Strong, Stylish, Simple to Install

We’ve been testing these Aluminum Roof Rails for the Subaru Forester (2014-2026 models) for several weeks now, and we’re thoroughly impressed. With a robust 300-pound weight capacity, these cross bars have easily handled everything from our mountain bikes to weekend camping gear. The lockable feature gives us peace of mind when parking in public areas, and we appreciate that they’re designed specifically for non-Wilderness models.

Installation took us less than 30 minutes with no special tools required. The aluminum construction strikes a perfect balance between durability and aesthetics – they look sleek without adding significant wind noise during highway driving.

What really stands out is the versatility. Whether we’re transporting kayaks, luggage carriers, or snowboards, these crossbars provide a stable, secure mounting point that instills confidence even on bumpy forest roads.

We recently put the KINGGERI Roof Racks to the test on our 2019 Honda Pilot, and we’re impressed with what we found. These all-aluminum crossbars install seamlessly with the Pilot’s flush rails, creating a sturdy platform that truly lives up to its 300-pound capacity rating.

Installation took us about 25 minutes without any specialized tools – the included hardware and clear instructions made the process straightforward. We particularly appreciated the aerodynamic design, which noticeably reduced wind noise compared to our previous rack system.

During our weekend camping trip, we loaded these bars with our cargo basket, two kayaks, and additional gear. The crossbars remained rock-solid throughout our 200-mile journey across highways and bumpy forest roads.

For Honda Pilot owners seeking reliable, heavy-duty roof bars without breaking the bank, we believe KINGGERI offers an excellent balance of quality and value.
