It also comes with a fairing to reduce drag and wind noise. The SkinnyWarrior is a sleek and convenient option for anyone in need of a multisport rooftop system.

Q: Can I mount this next to a rooftop storage box? The storage box is 20” wide.

A: We have it mounted next to the biggest Yakima box on our suburban, and it fits great.

Q: What is the actual dimension between bars? I see 23 and 26 listed.

A: The SkinnyWarrior is 23 inches wide. The incorrect item weight and dimension information is included by Amazon, which we are unable to change. We apologize for the confusion.
