A couple of really great cheap kayak racks are models from Malone Auto Racks. I gotta sy they are wicked innovative and combine unique features with inexpensive prices...
The
Malone AutoLoader Xv kayak rack uses a j-cradle design for easy loading/unloading of your kayak and attaches directly to your Honda CRV factory rack crossbars. This is a very affordable solution that works just as well as other more expnesive models. The Malone AutoLoader Xv uses up very little cross bar space compared to other kayak carriers and will allow you to attach two of them to the crossbars to carry 2 kayaks at the same time if you ever require this option.
The
Malone SeaWing Xv kayak carrier is another excellent option that transports the kayak in the more traditional style laying flat. The unique feature of this model however is that it has a center point attachment. Meaning you can mount the Malone SeaWing Xv close to the edge of the factory rack cross bars, allowing you the option to attach other gear carriers or another SeaWing Xv kayak rack if you want to ever carry 2 kayaks.
REALLY COOL KAYAK LIFT ASSIST OPTIONS
The
Malone Telos kayak lift assist is a side loading device that eliminates any effort required to load the kayak onto the car rooftop. The Malone Telos attaches to the Malone AutoLoader Xv kayak cradles. You simply place the kayak in the Telos cradles in the lowest position and then alternate ratcheting the kayak up the Malone Telos until its in the top position. Then you just slide the kayak right into the Malone AutoLoader Xv cradles. No lifting at all!
The
Malone Stinger kayak lift assist is an excellent optional accessory that attaches to the SeaWing Xv and offers full protection for the rear of your vehicle and dramatically decreases the effort needed to load a kayak by one person.
