It is official on Thule.com

Nice the exact type is now developed. But seems to be almost twice the price from the set I got.

I thought this https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/r..._128_924_775_/Qx@w,6M4gNax5vN1Yv0vegd3uHKJrgkQYUDS1@Zwrhlgo4NoQ5WO5d1v40.T5ib`1 was reasonably priced.

Yes, an unfortunate American-influenced abbreviation there, unless being full of it counts toward the payload...
So, "petrol" in your language...

How can one put gas/petrol into EV ?

Hi folks just joined the forum after picking up my ev 3 weeks ago. Really interested in a roof bar setup for occasional bike carrying. Having read the posts in the stream I’ve decided to go the Thule route using the 1711 foot pack adaptors. Regarding the spacing of the bars I found some guidance on 2 sites (one relating to Cruz ‘bars’ for the Ioniq and the other to LP ‘bars’ for the Ioniq). Both show a distance of 450mm rear of the b pillar for one bar, and 250mm or 300mm forward from the b pillar for the other bar. I am going to try the spacing for the Cruz bars (first 2 images) as it looks less generic than for the other bars.

I'm confused. It should be fit kit 1834. and the manual is here

Welcome to the forum Gmac.

Regardless of the kit used (the Kia kit or the Ioniq kit), more space will give your load more stability. But do watch the limits of the clamps to follow the curve of the roof. Also going to far back will tild the load to far backwards.

Hi Cha, the issue we have in the UK is that Hyundai have said that there should be no roof loading, as such Thule are not selling the 1834 adaptor in the UK. The instructions that you posted are however very useful as they confirm the mounting distances and spacing of the bars, thanks.

 

[Gmac]

Thanks for the welcome and advice Patrick. I am fortunate to have both the Thule 754 footpack, and it’s predecessor the 750. The latter sits a little higher. That being the case I might try a hybrid setup with the 754s at the front and 750s at the back, this might ‘level’ the bars a little better. Just need my bars to arrive now!

Yeah, no tow bar, no roof loading... it's a bit annoying this.

 

[mcamp999]

Not sure where the info comes re Hyundai saying no roof rack can be used. They simply told me it wasn't available. Anyway I just did my first long trip with a roof box on from Cambridge to Pineda de Mar in Spain. I made no effort to conserve fuel and the car was packed full with 4 adults as well. Travelled at 130km per hour all the way and averaged 44mpg. Pretty darned good I reckon.

The issue is that the EV roof is rated for 0kg (not sure where I read that).

What's insane is that the owners of the EV in the Netherlands and Germany can get roof racks and/or a towbar directly from the dealer. Being that the UK is still in the EU, there should be no real legal difference, so it must be a UK dealer specific decision.

Anyway, has anyone had any real answers from Hyundai UK to help us understand the risks we are taking (if any) with solutions for roof racks or a towbar?

Thule vs. Cruz Roof Bars experiences - loudness

Hi folks just joined the forum after picking up my ev 3 weeks ago. Really interested in a roof bar setup for occasional bike carrying.

Hi, I got my Cruz Airo T128 bars instead of Thule, they fit OK, looks great (in black), the bars have modern aerodynamic shape, however once driving 110 kmh+ I hear them, 130+ I hear them a lot so there is a disappointment. Do you experience similar issues? Or am I just spoiled with driving in silence on highway? What about Thule generic ones? Have you installed them? What about loudness on highway?

 

[PluginIoniq]

Hi, any idea about loudness of Thule bars on highway? I installed Cruz Airo 7 128 and its loud already at +110kmh and really noisy with 130+ (without the box), disappointed and thinking about Thule. Maybe I am just spoiled with silent drive on highways in Ioniq.

 

[PluginIoniq]

How is it with loudness of Thule bars without box? I picked Cruz Airo model and not happy with the noise:

[FONT=&quot]I am also trying to find a roof rack. It seems that Thule Rapid System Kit 1834 is not available anywhere in Europe. They also suggested to search in Cruz portfolio I was able to find a Cruz kit (much cheaper) but they are not able to deliver it in my country until mid April (import stuff). The bars are Wingbar shape on both kits.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So do you think I should wait for someone to bring me the Thule kit from US or just go for the Cruz kit? I don't own a roof box and for sure I will not buy one, [/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]I will rent one for[/FONT] the limited time that I need the extra space (fishing trips and long holidays). I will not keep the kit mounted on my car all the time.

BTW, I ordered the roof rack from Rameder today. Will probably take a week or two to get here but I'll be happy to report on how it fits and functions.

I thought these were already available. Came across this video on bike transport that implies cross bars for Ioniq roof have been around for some time: https://www.etrailer.com/tv-review-yakima-roof-bike-racks-2018-hyundai-ioniq-y02114.aspx

I will follow your review with interest, although drag from roof racks mean I’d only use them for short trips. But could be useful for the occasional bulky transport.

 

[Eesti mees]

I planned on installing Thule Rapid 754 with the kit Th1711. But unfortunately adapter kit 1711 is not delivered to Estonia. Maybe somebody has a spare kit and is willing to sell it to me. Or are there other options to fit 754 to Ioniq?

Here´s some other pics of Thule Rapid 754 with TH1711 adapter kit and cargobox on the roof.

How long are your Thule Wing Bars? 127 or 135 mm.?

Hi,

As suggested by Houseboatman + Saft on this forum, I've successfully installed the Thule Rapid system for my IONIQ Plugin last february to drive to the Alps.
You need 3 things:

1) Thule rapid system 754
(the bars foot, assembles easily onto vehicles without pre-existing roof rack attachment points)
Thule Rapid System 754

2) Thule rapid system Kit 1711
(the custom adapter kit for mounting a Thule roof rack system, this one is designed for the Kia K3 + Kia Cerato as specified on the box, but it does fit on the ioniq))
You have to adjust the settings found in the Kit 1711 manual, so that the bars (and your roof box) stand horizontal on the IONIQ curved roof.
And make sure the rubber part fits well on the ioniq roof, see my screenshot.
Kit 141711

3) Thule bars
For example the nice wing bars
Roof rack components and accessories

And as already warned in previous posts : roof racks are still not official for the IONIQ, we do this at our own risks...

Thule Rapid 754 with the kit TH1711 fits perfectly. Just did 2100 km with roof box with two pairs of offpist skis, two pair of nordic skis, poles, boots for the nordic skis and some gear for a child carrier.
