I am pretty sure the rack will be able to hold more than 200lbs. I have had much more than that on my Yakima many times not including wind load on the 4 bikes or the Rocket Box. The rack is not tied to the area on the roof with the ridges, which is what I think is rated at 200lbs. The 4 rack tie in points are much stronger than that. Or maybe I have just been lucky?
