Hey everyone, got a roof rack and bike mount and just wanted to share my opinion on it. The rack is Audi Zubehor rack from ECS tuning http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2530363/ and the bike mount is the Rocky Mount Euro Pitchfork http://www.amazon.com/RockyMounts-1106-Euro-PitchFork-Blue/dp/B003DKS02O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405557772&sr=8-4&keywords=rocky+mount+bike+rack
First impressions on the roof rack:
You immediately notice the noise at anything above 30 MPH. It isn’t that distracting and yes you will get used to it, but definitely not recommended for long highway cruises as it just has to crush MPGs . The noise also isn’t really relative to the speed, it’s roughly the same amount of noise from 40 MPH to 80 MPH. Not any whistling but just emphasized wind noise, and TBH the S4 isn’t the quietest car in regards to wind noise to being with. Another plus is it comes with locks and keys, which is pretty big deal when buying a rack.
Impressions on the bike rack:
It’s nice and cheap, has great reviews and comes in a bunch of colors. Adding it to the roof rack doesn’t add any additional noise either. I haven’t put my bike up there but noise will vary based on the type of bike anyways…
The rack looks great and is made of high quality materials. It’s light and aerodynamic, which must help with the noise. It’s also low profile so it goes well with the aesthetics.
Overall I’m really excited, this is my first roof rack and I’m proud to rock one on such a sweet car. Ask me anything about it or just give your opinion!
