About the car: Ford B-Max, single generation
The Ford B-Max is a 5-door MPV built between June 2012 and September 2017 in Craiova, Romania. It has sliding rear doors and no B-pillar, and the platform is the Ford global B-car platform. The model was shown as a concept at Geneva in 2011 and officially launched at the Mobile World Congress in 2012.
For the B-Max the 5-door version matters first, as this set is made for it. The Tema bars are fitted directly to the body, with the vehicle-specific fitting kit, and accessories have to be checked against their own fixing system.
What we fitted on this Ford B-Max
The set is Menabo Tema Aluminium roof bars for Ford B-Max, 5-door, 2012+. The bars are 1300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide, are made of aluminium with an anti-corrosion treatment and weigh 5.2 kg. They have a 20 mm track on top, so accessories with T-track fitting go directly into the track.
On the Tema bars you can fit bike racks, roof boxes, ski racks or a kayak & canoe roof rack. If the accessory has no T-track fitting, you can attach it with the U-bolt system around the outside of the bar.
