Rivian OEM rack static load capacity?

[mikehmb]

Anyone know the static load bearing rating for the Rivian cross-bars? I believe dynamic is rated at 250lb.

Tent is going to be about 175lbs, I’m another 190, wife is <redacted>, and son is around 80 (at the moment). I have to assume they designed the racks with that type of weight capacity in mind.

It’s got to be sufficient to carry three of us in a RTT, but I’d really like to see hard #s before committing.

What was the pre-March price of the cross-bars? They are available in the the Gear Shop now; the price appears to be $450 a pair, whether I am signed in or not. I was thinking that the pre-order price was originally less than that, but I may be mistaken.

I paid $450, pre-March increase

Interesting that they rate it per pair. I would assume that if you supported a roof top tent on an R1S with all three cross members that it'd be 50% greater. 375# dynamic and 1170# static. That seems really high to me.
