Thule Wingbar Evo...what size?

[Ned Nucleon]

I want to purchase a set of Wingbar Evos for my MME, but I noticed that they come in at least 2 different widths (50" & 53"). Is there a specific size I should order, or does it not matter?

Bought Thule Roof Racks 60” as recommended and installed yesterday:

Mach-E Kit 145284: https://amzn.to/47Jo57U
Evo Clamp 710501: https://amzn.to/3K2NlMn
WingBar Evo 150 Black 711520: https://amzn.to/3K6HeGR
ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack: https://amzn.to/4gm6ftI


For proper installation, follow the provided instructions for clamp placement. If the clamps are in the wrong spots, the bars won't be level. The correct placement is 210mm from the windshield and 700mm from the front bar.

While the manufacturer recommends a clamp setting of 52.5, I found that 52 worked better for my car. A setting of 52.5 caused the bar to bend too noticeably.

Use the provided key to tighten the bolts. It's a torque key with a preset of 3Nm.

Thanks! I was checking on my phone and I must have missed that option but I went back and saw it. Ordered the 60's.

Thanks for the photos. I had ordered everything pictured, except I messed up and ordered the wrong type bars. New ones are being delivered today.

What is the weight limit? Considering hauling my sunfish sailboat like this and it’s around 120 pounds total weight with spars and mast.

According to Thule, the weight limit is 220 lbs.

Thanks, I was able to order the correct size. Ready for my trip to the Outer Banks.

To be honest, I've used a lot of roof racks, and I haven't found anything better than Thule, even though I've tried more expensive options.
