YAKIMA ShowDown Rooftop Kayak and SUP Rack

The innovative load-assist mount from Yakima is designed to handle both stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) and kayaks, making the task of loading and unloading heavy boats and boards a breeze. This lightweight mount can tilt down more than 2 feet from the roof rack, allowing it to take on up to 45 percent of the boat's weight, and then gently raise it up to the top of the vehicle. Once loaded, the mount securely cradles your boat or boards for a smooth ride.

Weighing only 21 lbs., this mount is incredibly lightweight yet built to handle an impressive 80 lb. load. Its dimensions of L 42.00 in x W 9.00 in x H 9.00 in make it a compact and versatile solution for your outdoor adventures.

The Yakima ShowDown tilts down 26 inches from the roof rack height, providing 30-45 percent weight assistance, which makes loading and unloading kayaks and boards a breeze. It can accommodate a single large kayak or up to two stand-up paddleboards, with a total weight capacity of 80 lbs.

Designed for universal compatibility, the mount's mounting hardware fits most roof racks, with a minimum crossbar spread of 24 inches. The padded, felt-covered cradles protect your kayak or boards and shape around them for secure transport, ensuring a safe journey. All necessary tie-down straps are included, and the mount is compatible with Yakima's SKS Lock Cores, sold separately, for added security.

Installation of the Yakima ShowDown is quick and simple, and when not in use, it can be folded down flat to reduce drag, noise, and increase clearance. To ensure compatibility with your vehicle, be sure to consult the Yakima Fit My Car Tool.

In summary, the Yakima ShowDown is a versatile and user-friendly load-assist mount that simplifies the process of transporting both kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Its lightweight design, weight assistance, and universal fit make it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts looking to maximize their gear-carrying capacity while maintaining ease of use.
