Revo-Rack is a completely new type of 2021 MX5 Miata Luggage Rack that virtually eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the trunk/deck lid edge. With the Revo-Rack trunk rack no metal touches your Miata only soft rubber vacuum cups these use the pressure of the atmosphere to secure the rack to your Mazda's trunk.
With the Revo-Rack no metal touches your MX5 only soft rubber vacuum cups these use the pressure of the atmosphere to secure the rack to your car trunk. We manufacture two versions of the Revo-Rack frame in Black and the Revo-Rack PA ( Polished & Anodised ). These are not suction cups, suction creates vacuum. The grey buttons pump the air out of the cup securing with huge force.
We designed Revo-Rack in 2015 when the ND was launched and its been in production ever since. The issue with fitting a conventional clamp based luggage rack to the ND/MK4 is the 2.7mm/0.106 inch panel gap - there is no room for a metal clamp between the trunk lid and rear quarter.
We are of course aware that Mazda suggests a maximum load of 10kg for their carbon fibre rack on the 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 55lbs load.
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.

The Rack Frame :
This Miata ND 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 ND's aluminium trunk lid. The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency, the rack is powder coated black or hand polished and anodised. The rack frame measures 36"x17"
The Supports :
The rack is secured to your Miata's ND'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
Huge shoutout to the people across the pond at Revo-Rack. They didn’t pay me or anything to endorse them, but the rack is honestly the best possible solution for adding storage capacity to the world’s favorite roadster. It left no marks and I am sure it would work well on other vehicles too. At around $450 the rack seemed expensive at first, but it worked flawlessly and even kept all that camping gear rock steady into triple digit speeds at one point. Plus it’s something that I’ll continue to use in the future.

We have just completed our second long road trip with the Revo-Rack on the MX-5. This time we did 3,800km, (2300 miles) mostly at high freeway speeds, but also plenty of curvy roads, and the rack held fast in all the wind blast and lots of lateral forces. Top up or top down, there was never a worry with the rack and luggage.
We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.
