YKS15B - Yakima 110cm through bars (2) black - RETURNED

This includes the bars only. A fitting kit will also be required and is available separately.

These aren’t cheap bars, so what’s the “best value” claim? Part of the genius of the Whispbar system is that the same 'SmartFoot' is used for every type of roof type, including raised roof rails, flush mounted roof rails, T-tracks, Fixpoints, clamp on systems, even cars with gutters – it’s just a question of which adapter kit you use, and kits only cost £24.95. Unless you move e.g. from a wide vehicle to a narrow one you'll only need to buy a new adapter kit when you change car; there's 420mm of length adjustment on each through bar. No other roof bar system provides such flexibility, and it's unlikely that any other other premium roof bar system will prove to be such good long term value.

Other features and specifications:

• These bars look good and sound good, but they also feel good. They're beautifully made, are supplied fully assembled, and are relatively quick to fit.
• They have a maximum loading limit of 75kg - but please check your vehicle's load limit as it may be less than this.
• All roof boxes, and all accessories that can be fitted to Atera or Thule T-track aluminium bars, can be fitted to Whispbars.
• Other manufacturers supply a rubber strip that you need to cut and press into the bar between the accessory fixings. But not Whispbar – the SmartFill rubber is already in place, within the slot. Another first for Whispbar!
• When in due course you want to fit your Whispbars to a different vehicle you may need to adjust the position of the Smartfeet on the bars. If there isn't sufficient adjustment on your existing Whispbars you'll need to buy a pair of longer or shorter bars - we'll list these options in due course. But you can always re-use the SmartFeet - this is yet another first for Whispbar.
• You want to switch from the through bar look to the flush bar look? No problem. You just need another pair of bars (usually a shorter pair). The SmartFoot system really is this smart!
• Locks are supplied as standard.
• Please note that because Whispbars are 85mm wide you will need T-track adapters to fit almost all products except a limited range of roof boxes. If you are buying Whispbars on their own, check your roof box fittings to see if they are wide enough and be sure to order what you need!

The Whispbar brand is owned by Yakima, which along with Thule is one of the two largest brands in the global car rack systems sector. Whispbar was the culmination of many years of design and innovation by Hubco Automotive; their chief designer transferred his aeronautical design experience and know how to the roof rack sector, working closely with the engineering school at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.

Whispbar were launched at the Frankfurt Automechanika trade fair in 2008, since when many other roof bar manufacturers have launched low drag / low noise roof bars. But none of these is as efficient, as low drag, as Whispbar, partly because Whispbar, who created the whole concept and underpinned the designs with serious science, also patented crucial aspects of their design!

To summarise, Whispbar is the bells and whistles system, without the whistles!

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
