YAKIMA ShowDown Load-Assist Rooftop Rack for Kayak and SUP

The ShowDown mount is the ultimate solution for effortlessly loading and unloading heavy kayaks and stand up paddleboards. This innovative mount is the first of its kind, capable of handling both SUPs and kayaks with ease. It is designed to tilt down more than 2 feet from the roof rack, taking on up to 45 percent of the boat's weight to assist in lifting it up to the top of the vehicle.

Despite its lightweight design at only 21 lbs, the ShowDown is sturdy enough to handle an 80 lb load. Its dimensions are L 42.00 in x W 9.00 in x H 9.00 in, with a weight of 23.00 lbs. This versatile mount can carry one large kayak or two stand up paddleboards, providing a total weight capacity of 80 lbs. The lightweight materials and construction of the ShowDown leave room for additional gear to be carried.

The ShowDown mount is compatible with most crossbars, thanks to its universal mounting hardware. The minimum crossbar spread required is 24". The mount features felt-covered cradles that protect your kayak or boards during transport, securely cradling them in place. All necessary tie-down straps are included, and the mount is also compatible with SKS Lock Cores (sold separately).

Installation of the ShowDown mount is quick and easy, folding down flat when not in use to reduce drag and noise while driving, as well as to increase clearance. To ensure compatibility with your vehicle, refer to the Yakima Fit My Car Tool. Say goodbye to struggling with loading and unloading heavy kayaks or paddleboards, and make your next adventure a breeze with the ShowDown mount.
