    Until now, there haven't been many options for carrying canoes on factory installed crossbars. Your only option has usually been to set the canoe right on the crossbars-which will get your boat to the water, but not before scuffing (or worse!) the gunwales and crossbars. The new Yakima 4055 Universal Foam Block Canoe Carrier is an inexpensive new offering that safely cushions your canoe on almost any factory crossbars. It also fits Yakima Roundbars, Thule square loadbars, and roofs without any rack at all!     The Universal Foam Block Canoe Carrier includes everything you'll need to safely carry your canoe. The foam gunwale cushion blocks are designed to fit most gunwale and hull designs, and the shaped crossbar cutouts fit Yakima round bars, Thule square and aero bars, and most aerodynamically shaped factory installed crossbars (most crossbars up to 2 1/2" wide by 1 1/4" high). For vehicles without any roof rack, the gunwale cushions feature a high grip lami

    Kuat racks . Their company name may seem funny, but when it comes to building a better bike rack they're all business. Kuat's new line of premium aluminum frame bike racks are lightweight but rock-solid.     The Kuat Alpha 3 Bike Hitch Rack rugged frame is constructed from 6061 T6 aluminum and only weighs about 13 pounds (roughly half the weight of a traditional hitch mounted bike rack ). It carries three bikes, with a maximum weight load of 100 pounds. The racks comes fully assembled, but folded flat (just the right size to fit in your trunk or behind the seat in your pickup truck). To set up the Alpha, pull the linchpin holds the tongue assembly in position and swing the tongue around. Next, reinsert the linchpin and slide the tongue into your receiver. After inserting the included locking hitch pin, tighten the large adjustment knob near the bottom of the rack and the small knob on the back just above the base.  These knobs tighten the rack into the hitch and remove

    While it's still a bit early in the year for most of us to go kayaking, but it's never too early to get ready. If we plan ahead, we can hit the water as soon as the ice melts, right? Yakima's new EvenKeel Complete Kayak Saddle Set includes everything you'll need to cradle your kayak on just about any roof rack. The EvenKeel saddles utilize an all-new universal attachment system that fits round, square, and most factory installed crossbars. Optional security screws are included, to help make sure the EvenKeel saddles carry your boat, not someone else's. All tools are included, and the installation instructions are simple and straightforward.     The Yakima EvenKeel's flexible new HullFlex saddles bend inward AND outward to perfectly match the contour of your kayak's hull, and each saddle has a center mounter rubber pad to provide additional cushioning and superior grip. Yakima recommends using heavy duty cam-buckle straps and bow and stern tie down
