Revo-Rack is a unique design of Mazda Miata ND 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 black and the PA model which is hand polished and anodised to create a deep chrome like shine. We only sell direct over the web.

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

Revo-Rack attaches to your Miata ND 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.

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 10kg/22lbs 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 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 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

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 boot/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 Revo-Rack frame measures 36"x17"

 

Vacuum Cups :

Revo-Rack is secured to your Miata ND 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.

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
