Menabo Tema roof bars for the Mazda CX-5 KE, fitted in our showroom

On the Mazda CX-5 KE we fitted Menabo Tema aluminium roof bars, in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Mazda CX-5 first generation (KE)

The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover SUV with a 5-door body. The first generation, code KE, was built between January 2012 and 2017 at the Ujina plant in Hiroshima. The platform is shared with the third-generation Mazda3 and Mazda6, and the first European versions had Skyactiv-G 2.0 and Skyactiv-D 2.2 engines.

In the photo in the article, the red CX-5 KE has no factory roof rails, and the roof bars sit on feet attached to the door frames. The roof type decides the fitting system, so a CX-5 KE without factory roof rails takes dedicated roof bars that fix directly to the bodywork.

What we fitted on this Mazda CX-5

The bars are Menabo Tema Aluminium for the Mazda CX-5 (KE), 5-door, 2015-2017. They have an oval, aerodynamic profile, the metal parts are treated with rubberised paint and an anti-corrosion coating, and the top has a 20 mm T-track for accessories with a T fitting.

The set contains 2 aluminium bars, 4 feet, 4 fixing systems, 4 locks with keys and an Allen key, so you need no other tool for fitting. The bars are 30 mm high and 48 mm wide.
