Does anyone know if Porsche makes a roof system/bars for bikes?

I checked the Tequipment section for the 987 Cayman but couldn't see anything. Although the wording on various sections indicates something exists (or at least used to).

Any part numbers or details much appreciated.

This is what I've got - https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod125843/Roof-Tra...

It's even more from Porsche. I bought mine used off a member on here. Then I bought a Thule carrier for the bike. The "Porsche" roof bars are Thule anyway.

I was going to say... Thule are my go to

Heres what you'd need:
753 front footpack
751 rear footpack
3100 fixing kit
Whatever bars you fancy

Thanks for all the info. Surprised how expensive it is just for the bars. Anyone want to sell their roof bars or bike rack for a Cayman?

smile

P.S. Does anyone know whether these would fit a 911; is the roof the same dimensions?

The design911 site lists the feet for just the 987 and normally says if products fit multiple cars so I'd guess they probably aren't compatible. But that is just an educated guess.

I’m selling my 987 Cayman Roof Transport System as I’ve sold the car. Barely used in perfect condition!

PM me for details.

I'm using a RockBros suction-cup rack (a knock-off of the popular 'sea-sucker'). I use it for Enduro bikes, so fairly big and hefty.

It's great, no issues, cheap and easy to install/remove and store. The only downside is that the bikes don't lock to it.
I've used it for 6 hour+ drives with no issues.
Have a look on the singletrackworld forum, there is a thread about them on there.
