The Speed Read

You’ve Been Settling for Less. You Just Didn’t Know It.

Every roof box on the market asks you to make the same trade-offs your parents made: wrestle a 25 kg plastic shell onto your car. Find somewhere to store it when summer ends. Accept the wind noise, the fuel penalty, the two-person mounting ritual. Twistboxes is the first roof box designed around how you actually live – not how the industry has always done things.

30 years unchanged.
Until now.

Since the 1990s, roof boxes have been the same thing: heavy plastic shells that take two people to mount and a garage to store. Twistboxes is the first fundamental redesign in a generation – lighter, tougher, safer, and radically easier to live with. Patented. Crash-tested. No tools. No compromises.

UNPACK ~520 L
TOP, SIDE & REAR ACCESS

No Garage? No Problem. No Storage Room? Even Better.

Traditional roof boxes demand a garage, a ceiling hoist, or half your storage room. Twistboxes folds to 81 × 30 cm – smaller than a suitcase. Slide it into a wardrobe. Lean it behind a door. Keep it in the boot of your car. For the first time, a full-size 520-litre roof box fits the way you actually live.

As seen in

Star Night Black

Finished in a deep, non-reflective black, Twistboxes complements your car's silhouette without competing with it. The surface resists scratches, dirt, and UV – keeping its stealthy look through every season.

Swipe for details

Secure Buckle System

Military-grade buckles keep the box tight when rolled up. Built to last, trip after trip.

Waterproof Zippers

Reinforced zippers tested to 150 kg. Sealed against rain, snow, and road spray. Smooth in any temperature.

Patented Steel Innovation

A first-of-its-kind stainless-steel base plate for rigid stability, safety, and silence on the road.

Inside Strap

Integrated tie-down holds skis, bags, and gear in place. No shifting on sharp turns or mountain roads.

900D Oxford Fabric

Heavy-duty expedition-grade weave. UV50+ rated. Keeps its shape in rain, sun, snow and salt.

Adjustable shoulder strap

Sling it over your shoulder and walk to the car. Easy to adjust. Easy to carry.

Finally.
A Roof Box You Can’t Hear.

Traditional roof boxes scream at highway speeds. Twistboxes doesn’t make a sound. Its wing-shaped profile and forward-leaning nose cut aerodynamic drag by 25.6% compared to conventional plastic-shell boxes of the same size, independently verified by CFD simulation. Less drag means less fuel burned, more electric range preserved, and zero wind noise at any legal speed. The shape isn’t just beautiful. It pays for itself every time you drive.

< 2 min

Mounting time. No tools needed.

Effortless, Solo-Friendly Setup.

Lift it flat onto your roof rack, unfold, and secure. No heavy shell to balance above your head. No lifting team required.

Fits all roof racks on the market.

Mounts securely using the included brackets. Choose between quick-mount T-bolts or U-clamps depending on your rack design (max width: 7 cm).

16.5 kg

Easy to lift, mount, remove, and store

Traditional plastic-shell roof boxes in the same size range weigh ~23–30 kg. At 16.5 kg, Twistboxes is light enough for one person to handle from hallway to rooftop.

Patented innovation

The only roof box built on a stainless-steel base plate with aluminium stabilisers. Strength and stability without unnecessary mass.

25.6% Less Drag

Aerodynamic Shape That Pays You Back.

Every roof box costs you fuel. But not equally. Twistboxes’ wing-shaped profile and fabric-over-steel construction produce 25.6% less aerodynamic drag than a traditional plastic-shell box of the same size, independently verified by CFD simulation. On a long summer drive or a ski trip through the Alps, that’s a measurable difference at the fuel pump. And for EV drivers, it’s extra kilometres of range you keep instead of losing to air resistance.

Tested Beyond
Every Standard in
the Industry.

Most roof boxes are tested to the City Crash standard, an impact at 18 km/h. That's where the industry stops. We kept going. Twistboxes passed the City Crash Test at 18 km/h and 13 G. Then the High-Speed Test at 30 km/h. Then UNECE R129 at 50 km/h and 26.8 G of force, the same crash-test standard used for child car seats. All independently verified by VTI, Sweden's National Road and Transport Research Institute, at full 75 kg load. Without damage. Without deformation. Fully functional after impact. No other roof box has ever passed this test. Probably because no other brand made safety the starting point.

Because Safety Was Never Optional

From day one, we knew what was at stake: a 16.5 kg object on your roof, 75 kg cargo, at highway speeds, in real-world conditions. So our mission was uncompromising – build the safest roof box ever made, or don't build one at all. Your safety, your passengers, your gear, and everyone else on the road deserved nothing less.

  • 26.8G
    Crash-tested at 50 km/h.
    Zero damage.
  • UNECE R129
    The first roof box tested to child car seat safety standards.
  • -35°C to +50°C
    Tested from Arctic winter to desert heat.

26.8 G

Twistboxes withstood forces equivalent to 26.8 G at full load (75 kg) without external damage.

50 km/h

The only roof box to pass UNECE R129, the regulated crash-test standard for child car seats. Independently verified by VTI, Sweden's National Road and Transport Research Institute.

150 kg

Zipper load capacity

All zippers are tested to withstand forces between 50–150 kg, ensuring reliable operation under high load and repeated use.

Vibration resistance

All components are tested to withstand continuous vibration, simulating harsh road conditions and long-term use across varying climates.

1700+ hours

UV resistance test

The fabric coating is tested under over 1,700 hours of concentrated UV exposure, verifying resistance to sunlight, fading, and material degradation. Rated UV50+.

Salt spray resistance
All metal components are tested for salt exposure, ensuring corrosion resistance in coastal, winter, and high-salinity environments.

~25.6%

Lower Aerodynamic Energy Loss

Tested by independent CFD simulation on a Volvo XC40 against a leading plastic-shell box of equivalent volume, same roof position, same conditions. At 97 km/h, Twistboxes added 29 N of drag versus 39 N for the traditional box. That's 25.6% less aerodynamic energy loss. Twistboxes also generates double the lift force (88 N vs 44 N), further reducing rolling resistance. On smaller cars, the efficiency advantage is even greater.

Rolled Up to Road-Ready in 60 Seconds

Watch how Twistboxes goes from compact to fully mounted in under 60 seconds. Securely fastened and ready for any adventure. Designed for easy solo setup on any roof rack. No tools. No hassle. No helping hands.

What's in the box

Every Twistbox ships complete and ready to mount. Inside the box: one Twistboxes 520L roof box, one full mounting kit with T-bolt and U-bolt hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap for carrying, internal tie-down strap, and a step-by-step instruction manual. Locks are available separately, everything else is included.

Thanks to its compact 85 × 35 x 35 cm packaging, a full-size roof box can finally be picked up from a parcel point, fit inside your car, and carried through any doorway.

Why choose a Twistboxes roof box?

Twistboxes is the next generation of roof storage. Rolls up when not in use, fits easily in your home, and gives you the freedom to travel without sacrificing your living space. It is aerodynamically engineered to cut air resistance by 25.6 percent, improving fuel and energy efficiency while delivering a completely whistling-free drive.

Tested to the same crash-test standard as child car seats, it sets a new benchmark for what a roof box can be.

Features that redefine what a roof box can be

Twistboxes is designed for real life. Side and full-top access let you pack from any angle without stretching or scratching your car. The foldable sides protect your vehicle when loading, and the lightweight 16.5 kg construction allows one-person handling with ease.

Because it rolls into a compact form, storage becomes effortless. No garage hooks. No ceiling lifts. No need for extra space. It is the only full-size roof box you can pick up as a parcel and carry home in its own compact packaging.


Everyday convenience meets adventure-ready performance

Twistboxes is built for both the everyday and the exceptional. School runs, IKEA trips, weekend escapes, surf gear, golf bags, camping equipment or a family ski holiday – one roof box adapts to all of it. Its compact storage size makes it ideal for city living and small cars, while its 520 liters of capacity matches the volume of traditional full-size roof boxes.


Finding the right roof box is simple when innovation does the work

Because Twistboxes fits all roof racks and all car types, you do not need to choose between models or sizes. One patented construction works across compact cars, sedans, estates and SUVs. Traditional roof boxes require storing a large plastic shell when not in use. Twistboxes eliminates that problem entirely – rolling into a form you can store in a closet, hallway or your car trunk.

A smarter standard for modern travel.

Yes, you can leave Twistboxes mounted on your roof rack when not in use and drive with it empty. However, we recommend removing it when not needed, since it reduces aerodynamic drag and extend the product’s lifespan.

Thanks to the quick mounting system, removing and reinstalling takes under two minutes.

Yes. Every Twistboxes roof box ships with a complete mounting kit including both T-bolt and U-clamp hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap, internal tie-down strap, and a step-by-step instruction manual.

Locks are sold separately.

Twistboxes is the only roof box ever tested to UNECE R129, the regulated crash-test standard for child car seats. It withstood 26.8 G of impact force at 50 km/h with full 75 kg load, independently verified by VTI (Sweden’s National Road and Transport Research Institute). No external damage, no deformation, fully functional after impact.
The stainless-steel base plate runs the full length of the box, securing both the box and its contents during hard braking and high-speed driving.

For reference; Most roof boxes are tested to the City Crash standard, an impact at 18 km/h. That's where the industry stops.

Yes! Use our combination padlocks (available and sold separately as a 2-pack) to lock the zippers on each side. One lock per side secures the box when parked. The locks thread through the reinforced eyelets and into the zipper pulls.

It is extremely difficult. The roof box is constructed with double-sided 900D Oxford fabric on both the inside and outside, a stainless-steel base plate underneath, and 8 & 5 mm rigid plastic reinforcement in the roof and side walls. This multi-layer construction makes it very resistant to cutting or forced entry. While no roof box is completely theft-proof. Twistboxes offers significantly more resistance than a single-wall plastic shell.

Certainly! The stainless-steel base plate and aluminium stabilizers keep the roof box rigid whether loaded or empty. No wobbling, flapping or noise at any speed.

The combination padlocks secure the zippers, preventing anyone from opening the box. To lock the entire box to your roof rack, you can use a standard cable lock threaded through the mounting hardware. This is the same approach used with traditional plastic roof boxes.

Twistboxes does not impose a speed limit on your vehicle. It has been driven at over 200 km/h on the German Autobahn with zero noise and zero stability issues, as confirmed by customer reviews.

Always follow the speed limits for your road and your roof rack manufacturer’s guidelines.

More than 10 pairs. Skis up to 2 metres fit fully inside the box. Longer skis can extend out the rear with the back zipper left open, secured using the internal tie-down strap.
You can carry other gear alongside the skis at the same time.

Maximum load capacity is 75 kg.

Yes. In independent CFD testing, Twistboxes produced 25.6% less aerodynamic drag than a leading plastic-shell box of equivalent volume, tested on a Volvo XC40 at 97 km/h. Less drag means less fuel burned for combustion engines and more range preserved for electric vehicles.

On smaller cars, the efficiency advantage is even greater.

No. The wing-shaped profile and fabric-over-steel construction eliminate the wind noise and whistling common with traditional plastic-shell boxes. Customers consistently report a completely silent ride, even at motorway speeds.

We do not currently recommend driving with Twistboxes folded flat, as the lid cannot be fully secured in the folded position. For now, always unfold the box fully and close all zippers before driving.

We are developing a dedicated cover that will allow safe, fully secured flat driving in the future!

Twistboxes is available in Star Night Black, a deep non-reflective black finish that resists scratches, dirt, and UV. Additional colors are not currently available.

Twistboxes is available in one size: approximately 520 litres. One patented construction fits all car types and all roof racks.

Generation 3 is the current production model with updated mounting hardware, improved internal stabilizers, and refined construction details. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are no longer manufactured or sold.

If you have questions about a specific generation, contact us at info@twistboxes.com

Believe it or not, no roof box on the market is 100% waterproof. Even traditional plastic-shell boxes can allow moisture in through lid seals, mounting points, and seam gaps, particularly at highway speeds in heavy rain.

Twistboxes uses 100% waterproof fabric, zippers, and components across the entire construction. In normal rain, your gear stays dry. In sustained heavy downpours, small amounts of moisture can penetrate through sewn seams, which is common for all fabric-based outdoor equipment and comparable to the seal limitations of plastic-shell boxes. We deliberately avoid chemical mould treatments to keep the product safe for long-term use and the environment.

For complete protection of electronics or delicate items, we recommend using a dry bag inside the box. For guaranteed 100% waterproof protection in any weather, our VACme-Tech Vacuum Travel Bags seal completely airtight and keep everything dry regardless of conditions.

We deliberately avoid chemical mould treatments to keep the product safe for long-term use and the environment.

Twistboxes is tested from −35 °C to +50 °C. It has been used in Swedish Arctic winters and Australian desert summers without issue. The zippers, fabric, and all metal components are designed to perform across this full range.

Yes! The fabric is rated UV50+ and tested under over 1,700 hours of concentrated UV exposure. It resists fading and material degradation over time. As with any outdoor product, prolonged continuous exposure to direct sunlight over months will cause gradual wear.

All metal components are tested for salt spray resistance, ensuring corrosion resistance in coastal, winter, and salted-road environments. The stainless-steel base plate and aluminium stabilizers are specifically chosen for long-term durability in high-salinity conditions.

Clean the box inside and out with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratches. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before rolling up for storage.

Avoid machine washing, bleach, solvents, or hot-air drying.

Twistboxes can also be cleaned using a pressure washer, but avoid using strong direct water pressure on the seams or spraying too closely to the box.

Automatic car washes can be used as well, provided the wash facility has a program designed for roof boxes.

Hand washing is always recommended as the first option.

Automatic car washes can be used as well, provided the wash facility has a program designed for roof boxes.

Make sure the box is completely dry, then roll it up using the buckle system and store it upright or on its side.

It's the first-ever roof box that fits in a wardrobe, hallway, or car boot at 81 × 30 cm.
