I’m so sad I’ve got the evo 150 bars and I can’t get my kit to move back far enough because of the flare. Why did they do that? This is infuriating!! So from what I’m reading I need 2 different sized bars???
I’m thinking I’d like to try the Evo 150 instead of the 135 but what would limit it? I’m thinking it would look good and give a little more space.
Nothing, I was just referring to the fact that since it's wider you'll be able carry more stuff, thus you may or may not exceed KIA's recommendation.
these sucks. locking mechanism didn't work. you can pry the locked cover by pulling hard on it. RETURNED!!
Congratulations on getting set up. I ended up going with the Vikofan crossbars on Amazon. They are very similar to the oems. I needed to get set up before a road trip. They've done well so far for the price. I may upgrade to the thules someday if I need extra space. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HS63GB1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareFinally found and order the Thule Evo Flush Fit Kit (186095) with Evo Flush (710601) and Wingbar Evo 135 53" Black (711420) in stock from Canada.
Got tracking number today. Paid $642.68 USD with shipping. Not bad considering I would have to pay for tax if they were available locally.
Quick, looks like they only have 2 left in stock. You'll need to buy the whole setup from them though. they wont sell the fit kit separately.

You have liked these so far? No issues? How about wind noise while it highway speeds? I do not need them for much so would like to get a cheaper set, these look nice, just wanted a little more experience info from an owner
So far they have been good. The biggest issue I had was 2 of the clamps were a bit loose on the mounts. It took a bit of effort to tighten down but not a big deal. I mounted them per the directions which seemed like they were kinda close together but I think these are Kia's specifications.

I appreciate your response. I will look them over and see which ones to ultimately go off. I try to follow a bunch of the threads, but they sometimes spin off into something else completely, but this site has proven valuable for a lot of things, this being one of them.So far they have been good.

Wind noise was minimal until I put the cargo box up there. Driving at speeds of 70 to 85 mph posed no issues.
There is also another brand of these exact same crossbars called snail fly. They have many more reviews and they are all very positive which helped me solidify my decision to pick these up. The discount was better on the Vikofans though. I first heard about them on this forum here.
Hows your build going? The before and after shot!
Please tell me that's your Telluride in Telluride. Ha! Some day. Just wasn't this weekend :ROFLMAO:
Those look really nice
Thanks, that's helpful@Wiluride

165 lbs would be the max for the whole setup. So if you put a cargo box thats 50 lbs, you can only stuff about 115 lbs. of stuff in it.
It's a beautiful setup. I'm jealous. If I would have come across this canadian website well before our trip I would have picked them up too. Thanks for posting the pics.
