Revo-Rack is a unique design of Miata Trunk Rack that eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the trunk/deck lid edges. With the Revo-Rack no metal touches your MX5/Miata only soft rubber vacuum cups. These use the pressure of the atmosphere to secure the rack to your Mazda's trunk. We have been manufacturing the Revo-Rack since 2016 its available in either a black finish or a version thats hand polished then anodised to create a deep shine. Revo-Rack is suitable for every Mx5/Miata since 1989.

Revo-Rack attaches to your Miata 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 out the air creating a huge, securing force.

We are of course aware that Mazda suggests a maximum load of 22lbs for their carbon fibre rack on the MK4/ND because of the cars aluminium trunk lid. This clamps on a like a conventional rack with the weight of the rack and load spread over a very small area, approx 16 inches square ; the footprint of the clamps on the edge of the trunk.

With the Revo-Rack the load is spread over a much greater area over 120 inches ; the footprint of the vacuum cups. Its spread load not a point load like a conventional rack, hence the Revo-Rack can carry a greater load ( 20kg/45lbs ) with no risk of damage to the trunk lid.

Revo-Rack has been independently safety tested by TUV Group. Along with braking, speed and lab testing to a loaded Revo-Rack one of the criteria for certification involves a 645N force test. A lifting force of around 65kg/145lbs for 10 minutes to a Revo-Rack with a 25kg load on it. ( shown below ) The Revo-Rack stayed secure and did not bend or deform. If attached properly Revo-Rack is as secure if not more secure than a traditional clamp rack. See the full test criteria here

The Rack Frame :

This Miata Trunk 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  The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency, the rack is powder coated black or hand polished and anodised. The Revo-Rack measures 36"x17"

 

The Supports :

The rack is secured to your Miata's trunk lid using three 5" vacuum cups,  rated by the manufacturer as capable of holding an 18kg/40lb load each.

Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: 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 reliable hold. Because the full face of the pad is brought into contact with the surface, distortion is reduced, allowing the cup to be used with very little risk of damage.

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. The racks sits 3" off the trunk lid
