In brief
- Car: Mazda CX-5 second generation (KF), 5-door.
- Fitted: a set of K39 aluminium roof bars.

About the car: Mazda CX-5 second generation (KF)
The second-generation Mazda CX-5, with the code KF, was unveiled on 15 November 2016, with its European debut in May 2017. It is a compact crossover SUV with a 5-door body, and production of this generation ran from November 2016 to 2025.
In the photo in the article, the grey CX-5 KF has the LED headlights of the facelift and a roof without roof rails. The roof bars are fixed to the door frames, so accessories are fitted on the bars, not on the factory roof. The type of roof decides the fitting system, so the bars must be chosen for a car without factory roof rails.
What we fitted on this Mazda CX-5
On this CX-5 we fitted K39 aluminium roof bars, which are fixed directly to the door frames, because the roof has no factory roof rails. After fitting, accessories such as a bike rack, o roof box or ski racks can be fixed on the bars, if their fitting is compatible with the K39 bars.
Each accessory must be checked for its type of fitting, because a rack or a box only suits the type of bar it was built for. In the showroom we help you see the right combination for your car.
Technical details and what to watch for
- Weight of accessories: the weight of the rack, box or skis is deducted from the maximum load of the K39 bars.
- Compatibility: the type of fitting of the accessory must match the bars. If the accessory has no T-track system, it is fixed around the outside of the bar.
- Positioning: put the rack so that you can easily reach the bike when loading and unloading.
- Car height: after fitting, measure the total height of the car with the accessories, before car parks with a barrier.
- Fitting: check that all the fixings are tight before setting off.
