Looking to bring your bikes and a rooftop tent? But can’t or won’t use a hitch-mounted rack for your two-wheeled fun machines? The new Roofnest Sparrow Adventure rooftop tent is designed for cyclists, allowing you to carry two bicycles atop its shell and sleep 2-3 people. But that’s not all…

The Sparrow flies for any adventure

With integrated cross bars, you can add your choice of wheel trays to carry up to two bikes. Max weight is 100lbs when closed, and drops to 40lbs when opened…so, maybe take your bikes off before you setup camp.

The Sparrow Adventure rooftop cross bars work for compatible mounts, though. Add a snowboard, SUP, kayak, or whatever other mount you want and bring any of the toys.

What makes this more unique and capable is the in-molded gear bin. The rear of the shell is recessed to create a cubby, and an included storage bag fits neatly into it. Got wet or dirty gear? Throw it up top and keep it out of your car.

that pic of the tent on the truck perfectly demonstrates the usefulness of a trucked that small. instead of the bikes being in there they are in the most awkward place possible, on the roof of the roof tent. So why again did you buy that small of a truck?

A tacoma fits in my smaller garage and still carries all our gear to the mountains.
A carolina squat bro dozer doesn’t. Thankfully.

I have 2014Toyota 4 Runner which came with cross bar. Does anyone know if my current crossbar can withhold the weight the Roof Nest Adventure XL or do I need to get different crossbar ?
