We Tested the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack: Strength Meets Silence
Our Review: Traverse Roof Rack’s Surprising Strength & Silence
Our Review: Traverse Roof Rack's Surprising Strength & Silence
When we unpacked these 220lbs capacity roof rack cross bars for the Chevy Traverse (2022-2025 models), we were immediately impressed by the all-metal aluminum construction. The solid build quality was evident from the start, but what truly surprised us was how they performed on the road.
Despite their heavy-duty design, these crossbars generate remarkably little wind noise - something we've found problematic with other roof racks. We loaded them with our kayaks for a weekend trip, and the bars didn't budge or whine even at highway speeds.
Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without any specialized tools. The black finish complements the Traverse's aesthetic nicely while resisting scratches during our testing.
For Traverse owners needing reliable cargo capacity without sacrificing the quiet cabin experience, these crossbars deliver impressive performance.

We recently tested the Silent Journey Lockable Roof Racks designed specifically for Volvo XC90 models (2015-2025), and we're genuinely impressed with their performance. What immediately stood out was the significant noise reduction compared to our previous rack system. Even at highway speeds, the aerodynamic design minimized that annoying wind howl we'd grown accustomed to.
Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without any special tools. The secure locking mechanism gave us peace of mind when leaving our gear unattended during rest stops on our recent mountain trip.
The sturdy construction easily handled our kayaks and cargo box, with no concerning flex or movement. Despite the added weight on top, we barely noticed any impact on fuel efficiency.
For Volvo XC90 owners seeking a quieter, more pleasant driving experience without sacrificing utility, these racks are definitely worth considering.
