Kuat Vagabond Roof Rack Review

Thanks for this tip.

Kuat vagabond roof rack review.

Vagabond x the perfect combination of form and function the vagabond x increases your vehicle s load capacity by a staggering 160 pounds and that can include up to two bikes with 9mm skewers. Overall super fresh way to ride with a basket. A roof rack with two trays works great to carry your bikes but is not useful for much else. The vagabond x is the newest roof basket model from kuat and it is perfect for the multi sport outdoorsy person.

I was able to get on the rack 150ish lb without causing any flex or roof rub. The kuat vagabond roof rack is so simple functional we re just sad we didn t think of it. It was a much tighter fit than the square bars but keeps a super low profile. Why not add some utility to your roof rack by putting on a kuat vagabond x roof basket.

Instead of carrying a kayak on the vagabond x i recommend using the kuat mini skinny part msr1b exb as a basket and bike carrier. Kuat has recently come out with a new ski rack called the kuat grip rack to address the stagnant updates in this product category. Your subaru factory bars should be within this size range but you can measure the bars to confirm. At kuat we build bike water snow and cargo racks that are designed for the most discerning enthusiasts.

Instead of wasting space with just two bike trays the vagabond simply incorporates the two bike mounts into a roof cargo rack. Because of a spike in demand we are back ordered on most products. Just mounted the kuat vagabond with the oem aero crossbars going through. We are working hard to fill and ship orders.

With locking mounts two 9mm skewers and the capacity to accommodate even larger loads with the xtender this vagabond pulls its weight and more. Not only would this double the price of the setup but it would severely. Carrying a kayak on roof rack with a kuat vagabond the kuat vagabond x part vx201 vx202 isn t actually designed to carry a kayak on top of it so there s certainly no additional equipment needed. To accomplish the same task with the 279 loadwarrior you would have to buy 2 of yakima s bike tray racks at another 100 180 each.

Kuat vagabond x roof cargo basket and 2 bike carrier vx201 will mount to almost any vehicle roof rack crossbars including round square aero elliptical and most factory crossbars that are up to 4 1 2 inches wide x 1 3 4 inches tall.
