The Ultimate Subaru Roof Rack

For years, Sherpa racks have been trusted by Toyota, Jeep, and truck owners who want gear they can count on. Now, we’re excited to bring that same durability and design to the Subaru community. Our new full-length aluminum roof racks for the Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback are built with the same focus on strength, quality, and versatility, but tuned specifically for the way Subaru drivers adventure.

Every rack in this lineup is built from corrosion-resistant aluminum and finished with a textured black powder coat that’s as tough as the roads you’ll take them on. Hardware is stainless steel with a black oxide coating, designed not to strip, rust, or fail when you need it most. Together, the system delivers a 300-pound dynamic and 700-pound static load rating. That's more than enough muscle to handle bikes, skis, rods, tents, or just about anything else you need to haul.

We engineered these racks to be Subaru-ready out of the box:

• No-drill installation using factory mounting points.

• Low profile for better aerodynamics, fuel economy, and garage clearance.

• Noise-reducing fairing design so your rack doesn't take away from your drive.

• Optimized fit across Subaru Crosstrek (2018–2026), Forester (2019–2026), and Outback (2015–2025).

Like all Sherpa gear, these racks are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Berthoud, Colorado. For us, building in the U.S. isn’t just about quality control; it’s about standing behind the product and the people who use it. When you bolt on a Sherpa rack, you know it’s been built by people who care about your adventures as much as you do.

Subaru drivers will appreciate that installation doesn’t require drilling or permanent modifications. Each rack uses factory mounting points, keeping the installation simple and clean. The profile is intentionally low to help reduce noise and minimize the impact on fuel economy, while still offering full-length mounting options for any adventure.

And that’s really where these racks shine: versatility. Subaru owners tend to be multi-sport athletes and weekend warriors. For Crosstrek drivers, that often means a mix of mountain biking, skiing, and camping, all in the same season. Forester owners often need space for families, dogs, and gear, making a roof rack essential for freeing up the cabin. Outback drivers tend to opt for longer trips and light overlanding, where mounting a rooftop tent or awning makes extended travel easier and more comfortable. Whatever your vehicle or adventure, we've got you covered.

With Sherpa’s modular design, each of these racks can be outfitted for exactly the adventure you have in mind. Fly rod holders, bike mounts, ski and snowboard racks, awning and tent systems, even traction boards and recovery gear; everything has a place, and the system adapts as your hobbies evolve.

This launch is an important one for us because we’ve long admired the Subaru community. Subie owners represent independence, practicality, and a deep love for the outdoors. These values align perfectly with Sherpa’s mission to help you adventure with confidence. Expanding into Subaru isn’t just about releasing new racks; it’s about building a bridge to a community that lives the lifestyle our products are built for.

If you’re ready to outfit your Subaru, the new lineup is available now. Explore racks for the Crosstrek (2018–2026), Forester (2019–2026), and Outback (2015–2025), and see why more adventurers are trusting Sherpa to carry what matters most. Built in Colorado. Backed by people who care. Ready for whatever the road throws at you.

Adventure With Confidence

At the end of the day, a roof rack is more than just metal and hardware; it’s what makes adventure possible. For Subaru owners, that might mean loading up skis at dawn for a powder day in the Rockies, strapping down bikes for a weekend ride in the Cascades, or packing a rooftop tent for a cross-country road trip.

 The reason we built this new lineup for the Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback is simple: these vehicles have become the backbone of the adventure community. They carry families, friends, dogs, and gear to the places that matter most. And now, with a Sherpa rack, they can do it all with less hassle, more room inside, and gear that’s secure no matter the terrain.

What makes these racks different is the combination of thoughtful engineering and real-world use. We know corrosion resistance matters when your vehicle sees salty winter roads in Colorado or Vermont. We know noise reduction matters on the highway between Denver and Moab. And we know that flexibility is key when one weekend calls for fly rods and the next for skis. By designing a modular system that adapts to the user, rather than forcing the user to adapt to the gear, we’re making adventure simpler, safer, and more enjoyable.

It also matters how a product is made. Every rack is cut, bent, welded, and finished in our shop in Berthoud, Colorado. We’re proud of our manufacturing roots and the fact that every system we ship is built by people who care about quality and community. Buying a Sherpa rack isn’t just about upgrading your vehicle — it’s about investing in gear that’s built to last and backed by real people who stand behind it.

We see this Subaru launch as more than just new product pages on our website. It’s a way to welcome an entire community into the Sherpa family. Subaru drivers are known for waving at each other on the road, for filling trailhead parking lots, and for embodying the same spirit of independence and authenticity that we value. Whether you drive a Crosstrek, a Forester, or an Outback, we built these racks for you — to keep your gear organized, your adventures rolling, and your confidence high every mile of the way.
