Hi All,
I'm thinking of installing crossbars for my bike.
Do the Lucid Air cross bars create much drag unloaded?

No extra drag and no noticeable efficiency hit, but I HIGHLY recommend Lucid Service install them.

Why? They look pretty simple…..what’s the subtlety you feel needs expertise?

Especially with the glass roof, it’s easy to over torque and crack it. If you do it, it’s your fault. If Lucid does it, it’s theirs.
Glass windshields are expensive to replace on Lucid Airs. The roof window is not cheap either. My experience is Lucid should be the installer. They will warranty the repairs should something be installed improperly or damage occurs during install.

That makes sense.
How about with metal roofs? Still dangers of damage, or more straightforward?
I cannot speak to metal roof. But I’d still have them do it if you can. There were inserts that were corroded out that needed to be replaced so I’d talk to Lucid about installing them.
