Revo-Rack no metal clamps on fragile trunk lid edges and certified to carry 45lbs

Revo-Rack is a unique design of Mazda Miata RF Luggage Rack that eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the fragile trunk lid edges.

We have been manufacturing the Revo-Rack since 2016 in two finishes powder coated black and the PA model which is hand polished and then anodised to create a deep chrome like shine. We only sell direct over the web.

We designed Revo-Rack in 2015 when the ND & RF were launched. The issue with fitting a conventional metal clamp based luggage rack to the ND/RF is the 0.16'/2.7mm panel gap - there is no room for a metal clamp.

Revo-Rack attaches to your MX5 using vacuum cup technology, these are not suction cups. Suction is what creates vacuum. Vacuum is the total absence of air whereas suction is the process done to achieve a vacuum. The grey buttons on the side of the cups pump the air out from the cup creating a huge securing force.

No metal clamps on fragile trunk lid edges to cause paint damage with a Revo-Rack

In 2015 Revo-Rack was independently certified by TUV Italy part of the global TUV testing and certification business. It went through speed, braking and force tests, to ISO 11154:2006 Revo-Rack passed all these tests and is certified to carry 20kg/45lbs. Since 2016 we have sold over 10,000 Revo-Racks and never had a failure.

We are of course aware that Mazda suggests a maximum load of 22lbs/10kg for their carbon fibre rack on the RF/ND because of the cars aluminium trunk lid. This clamps on a like a conventional rack with the load spread over a very small area 20cm².The footprint of the clamps on the edge of the trunk lid.

With a Revo-Rack the load is spread over a much greater area over 300cm² The footprint of the vacuum cups. Hence the Revo-Rack can carry a greater load of 20kg/45lbs with no risk of damage to the boot/trunk lid. Think of this like standing or a frozen lake or skimming across it on your belly. One will cause thin ice to crack the other won’t

Why a Revo-Rack Mazda Miata RF Luggage Rack ?

• Lightweight precision manufactured aluminium & magnesium frame
• No metal clamps on the fragile aluminum trunk lid edges
• Shipped to the USA in 2-4 days with DHL
• As the Revo-Rack is less than $800 there are no import duties & no state taxes
• In manufacture since 2016 : tried & tested by thousands of customers
• Tested to ISO/PAS 11154:2006 Road vehicles - Roof load carriers & European Directive for the General Safety 2002/95/CE.
• Conceived, designed and engineered for the MK4/ND MX5/Miata
• Roof Operation is possible with the rack fitted
• Due to the 1/8" panel gap on the RF its too small for a traditional clamp to fit, the 45 degree lip inside the boot makes this almost impossible.
• Revo-Racks load carrying capacity has been rated at 45lbs/20kg by TUV Italy
• Revo-Rack has been independently tested by TUV Italy.
• Revo-Rack is not designed for permanent fitting its designed for a days travel and then it needs to be removed overnight as the paint under the cups needs to exposed to the atmosphere.

If your RF has the optional lip spoiler you will need a specific model with an extra hole to allow one of the vacuum cups to be mounted on the cross rail, due to the shallower trunk lid

The Rack Frame :

This Miata RF luggage rack is manufactured from 1" 6063-T5 tubing this is an aluminium and magnesium alloy ( it will never rust ) As a result the rack frame weighs only 3.6lb perfect for the RF s aluminium boot/trunk lid. The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency. The rack frame measures 36"x17"

Revo-Racks frame is precision manufactured on the latest CNC machines, this ensures a high quality frame with no 'flaring'  or compression of the tube on the bends/straights

If you have a US Miata RF with the shark antenna fin on the trunk lid, you will have to mount the rack as shown this allows roof operation and the rack does not foul the antenna. If your RF has a rear lip spoiler we make a model with an additional hole drilled allowing one vacuum cup to be mounted further back, please make sure you order this model if your RF has the the small spoiler.

Vacuum cups :

Revo-Rack is secured to your RF using three 5"/120mm vacuum cups. These are rated by the manufacturer as capable of holding an 18kg/40lb load each. These are not suction cups.

Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: These are not suction cups. Suction is what creates vacuum. Vacuum is the total absence of air whereas suction is the process done to achieve a vacuum. The grey buttons on the side of the cups pump the air out from the cup creating a huge securing force.When a vacuum exists between the cup and the surface on which it is attached, the weight of Earth's atmosphere holds the cup in place with incredible force. Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum as they pull away from the surface, Revo-Racks vacuum cups use a hand-actuated pump to efficiently remove air from between the rubber pad and the attaching surface thus creating a much more secure hold.

The Revo-Racks vacuum cup's pump feature a pump button with a red line, which serves as a vacuum indicator. Introduced in the1960's, this safety device is still recognized as one of the most reliable warning systems available. A few strokes of the pump evacuate the vacuum pad, causing it to seal securely to the car. When the cup is attached completely, the plunger stops moving and the red line is hidden within the pump. A visible red line indicates if air has leaked back into the pad, making vacuum insufficient to use the cup. However, if the red line becomes visible while the cup is in use, a check valve allows you re pump the cup without losing the remaining vacuum.

Lifting on the release tab near the edge of the pad allows air to refill the evacuated space, so that the vacuum cup detaches completely. Revo-Rack sits 7.5cm / 3" off the trunk lid

Revo-Racks can be used in all conditions.
