From the 2013 Clubman Manual http://www.miniusa.com/content/dam/m..._all_trims.pdf
"Mini Clubman Approved roof load capacity lbs 165" I assume that includes the rack itself. Of course that load capacity could be lower if you are carrying more cargo/ people than your limit.
To find limit...according to the manual.
1. Locate the following statement on your vehicle's placard (inside your front door):
"The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, this could damage the vehicle and produce unstable vehicle operating conditions."
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX pounds or YYY kilograms.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 1,400 lbs and there will be four 150 lb-passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs: 1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs = 650 lbs.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting a trailer to determine how this may reduce the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
