RoofRider XT Kayak Carrier System

Military-Grade Protection Meets Smart Storage

Engineered to safeguard your investment, our HullGuard™ EVA foam padding absorbs impacts 3x better than standard rubber pads—keeping touring kayaks scratch-free through rocky trails or multi-day expeditions. The fold-flat design collapses to just 4″ thick when parked (saving 60% vertical space vs rigid racks), eliminating garage door clearance headaches while boosting highway MPG by reducing wind resistance.

Built on corrosion-proof SteelCore™ architecture that withstands 150mph wind loads vs typical plastic racks prone to warping. Features precision-molded cradles that accommodate recreational kayaks (10’-14’) up to 80 lbs without hull contact points—ideal for fiberglass or carbon fiber vessels needing extra TLC.

Security system includes SKS lock cylinders (locks sold separately) that deter theft attempts while allowing one-handed adjustments during loading/unloading cycles. The integrated ramp reduces lifting strain by 40% compared to traditional roof carriers—perfect for aging paddlers or solo adventurers carrying heavy touring kayaks.

Comes complete with:
– Heavy-duty ratchet straps (800lb tensile strength)
– Bow/stern tie-downs with reflective safety loops
– Pre-drilled mounting brackets for instant compatibility
– Built-in bottle opener (standard 5/8″ bottle neck fit)

Works right out of the box with 1″ round/square factory crossbars—no adapters needed—and adjusts seamlessly between 22″-32″ bar spacing ranges.
