MG5 Long Range Roof Rack Options

[ASRtichy]

I managed to get a set of the Menabo bars at the 11th hour from Amazon Warehouse. Have to say I’m quite impressed with them. Pretty sturdy bars. Have got two bikes on the roof travelling down through France. Kills the mile/kWh rate. Averaged 2.3 for the 400 miles today.

I’ve used my old Yakima whispbar roof rack from my old Skoda scout. Works fine, no issues with carrying boards/bike.

Do you know the model of these, please?S53 Aero-x perhaps?
cheers

Hi,

I ordered the below from Roofbox.co.uk:

1 x Whispbar 120cm through bars (2) no. PRS16 (D) (Skoda Octavia Scout (2014 onwards))

1 x Whispbar Smartfoot fitting kit no. PRK328 (D) (Skoda Octavia Scout (2014 onwards))

They are still on my mg5 LR pre facelift. No issues. Carry surf sups, e-bikes and mtbs. With the help of Dr Google it seems they are Yakima through bars (120cm). Link:

Yakima 120cm through bars (2), silver, no. S16

Yakima's Whispbar is without any doubt the most advanced roof bar system on the planet. It's easy to fit, is almost silent in use, and has negligible impact on fuel consumption. And because it looks superb you're likely to leave it in place semi-permanently. With 420mm of adjustment on each...

Yakima do a good range of stuff.
