Revo rack is a completely new type of Miata Luggage Rack that eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the trunk lid edge.
Revo-Rack was developed for the Miata ND as the panel gaps are only 2-3mm / 0.12" there is no room for a traditional luggage rack clamp on the trunk edge.
With the Revo-Rack luggage rack no metal touches your Miata only soft rubber vacuum cups these use the pressure of the atmosphere to secure the rack to your Mazda's trunk. Revo-Rack will fit all Miata models including the new ND & RF. Its not possible to operate the roof on the RF with the rack fitted, but its 1 minute to pop off operate and re attach. If Miata ND has a fin on the trunk and the spoiler the Revo-Rack will fit but you will need to move the single vacuum cup to a cross rail to prevent it fouling the fin.
Why a Revo-Rack Luggage Rack ?
No clamps
No bolts
No drilling
No Straps
No paint damage
Due to the 3-4mm / 0.12" panel gap on the Maita between the trunk lid and rear quarter its really too small for a traditional clamp to fit, without damage to the trunk.
Revo-Racks load carrying capacity has been rated at 20kg / 45Ibs
Not immediately obvious how to release the rack from the trunk lid - Impossible to pull off, therefore theft is difficult.
If you do stop for a prolonged period and are concerned about your luggage we suggest you remove the rack and luggage and place it inside your car, a 30 second task.
The Rack Frame :
This luggage rack is manufactured from 1" 6063-T5 tubing this is an aluminium and magnesium alloy ( it will never rust ) As a result the rack frame weighs only 1.672kg / 3.6lb. The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency, the rack is powder coated black. The rack measures 900x420mm / 36"x17"
The Supports :
The rack is secured to your Miata's trunk lid using three 115mm vacuum cups, rated by the manufacturer as capable of holding an 18kg/40lb load each. These are very different to suction cups.
Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: When a vacuum exists between the cup and the surface on which it is attached, the weight of Earth's atmosphere holds the cup in place with incredible force. Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum as they pull away from the surface, Revo-Racks vacuum cups use a hand-actuated pump to efficiently remove air from between the rubber pad and the attaching surface thus creating a much more reliable hold. Because the full face of the pad is brought into contact with the surface, distortion is reduced, allowing the cup to be used with very little risk of damage.
The Revo-Racks vacuum cup's pump feature a plunger with a red line, which serves as a vacuum indicator. Introduced in the1960's, this safety device is still recognized as one of the most reliable warning systems available. A few strokes of the plunger evacuate the vacuum pad, causing it to seal securely to the attaching surface. When the cup is attached completely, the plunger stops moving and the red line is hidden within the pump. A visible red line indicates if air has leaked back into the pad, making vacuum insufficient to use the cup. However, if the red line becomes visible while the cup is in use, a check valve allows the user to re pump the cup without losing the remaining vacuum.
