Anyone knows what Roof Rack this is? Asked Bronco but no answer. I am gearing up for spring/summer activities and need a way to carry boards/gear with the top down. TIA!

Look like "beach bars". Havent seen ones that are as thin as these look but honestly the wider/flatter ones look more useful. There are a few makers but Expedition One has them here:

You can also look at Exposed Racks.

That is actually a photo of a concept/marketing Bronco that Ford called the "Riptide".
It was filmed before the Bronco entered production back in early 2021—Ford gave Bronco Nation access to snap some photos and shoot a video of it. That vehicle has (had, probably, I'm sure it's been crushed) a few options on it that never actually made it to market.
But looks like @CptSamFalcon found some awesome alternatives.

Love the beach bar idea if I go topless all summer. I've also considered a light bar up front and then this in the back, probably OK for kayaks and paddleboards but not surf boards, but I don't seem to use my surf boards much in western PA anyway

Yep a bit pricier but in my research definitely the way to go.

yep, but it looks more solid than the beach bar. I have a heavy canoe we also plan of carrying up there. And it looks like it's made in the US. I will rather put my money on that. Thanks for the help!!

I have the Exposed racks and put my heavy Hobie Kayak on top with no issues. You will need a y-rack attachment. Otherwise it’s too close to the top of the windshield.
I went with the BAMF topless soft top rack. Overall pretty happy with it and it is as stout as can be. Top closes back over it so it's there all the time.
Paddle board probably weighs 70 pounds give or take. Have also had a fair bit of lumber up there.
