Revo-Rack specification, dimensions & useage.
- Revo-Rack is manufactured from T5 aluminium and magnesium tuning thats 25mm/1" in diameter. This is a light strong alloy, as a result the frame weighs only 1.74kg / 2.20lbs.
- The rack frame measures 90x42cm. We manufacture the Revo-Rack in either a powder coated black version or a model thats hand polished and anodised. All Revo-Racks are supplied with a cotton storage bag and two luggage straps.
- The standard Revo-Rack 01 & 02 requires a footprint of 103 x 49cm. The Revo-Rack 03 and 04 models manufactured for cars with shallow trunk/boot lids or rear lip spoilers have an additional hole drilled in the first cross rail and this reduces the depth required by 8cm to 35cm / 14". For some cars we manufacture a specific model so always order the model for your car or consult us prior to purchase.
- The rack is secured using three 120mm/5" vacuum cups, these are extremely powerful and not to be confused with suction cups which are completely different and not the technology used with the Revo-Rack.
