Atera's SIGNO RTD aluminium bars are sold as a complete package, ready to fit. They're our Best Buy for cars with flush mounted roof rails. 3 reasons: (1) The aero-profile aluminium bar is the most user-friendly profile available anywhere (2) The innovative feet and clamps have been tested and approved for use on well over 50 different vehicles, and more will be added as time goes on; similar systems usually require a different adapter kit for every vehicle (3) These good looking bars exude quality, with numerous smart features, including a torque tool tightening system that's really easy to use. We've watched the development of Atera's aero-profile over several years and have seen how they've been refined and refined, with a lot of wind tunnel testing, to achieve optimum efficiency - low noise and low drag - despite not having any rubber infill in the slotted channel. Keeping this channel open was the challenge that Atera set their design team. Other aerofoil bars (apart from Whispbar) are only quiet if rubber strips are pushed into their 'T-track slots', rubber which needs to be cut into sections and placed between, for example, bike carriers, and then more rubber added when the bike carriers are removed. You want to leave your bars on your car ready for the next time you go biking, and just slide or drop the bike carriers into them without any need to fit and remove rubber strips? Is speed and ease of use important? Of course it is, which is why the engineering behind these bars is really very clever indeed. What's the science behind this success? See the second picture above. In summary, the WindBarrier strip creates small swirls which form an air cushion across the surface of the T-track slot, preventing the development of wind noise whatever the driving speed. The design of the ShapeBreak trailing edge also controls the airflow, improving roof bar stability and reducing the downward force. Other features:
