Textured-finish roof box that hides scratches and road grime
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
At 21 cu ft, the SkyBox Carbonite 21 is Yakima's largest Carbonite box — fits skis up to 215cm with that scratch-hiding textured finish. At 58 lbs with 165 lb capacity. The downside? 58 lbs is manageable but not light for this class, and the Carbonite texture limits color choices. At premium pricing, you're competing directly with the Thule Motion 3 XXL.
