Kayak Carrier
Whispbar WB401
Kayaking is dependent on the mobility offered by cars as the kayaks often have to be transported to a water sports destination. The design itself of these crafts has adapted to this necessity over the years. The Whispbar WB401 kayak carrier features a design that aestheticises familiar car roof carriers. It is made of high-quality materials and possesses a clear and elegant appearance. Its streamlined profile perfectly complements its highly refined functionality. It offers a patented attachment system in the shape of a quick-dock mechanism that allows kayaks to be fastened easily without the use of tools. The sophisticated integration of the foldable support elements on both sides allows for an extraordinarily compact shape with good aerodynamic characteristics. In addition, the kayak carrier features integrated rollers so that users can easily load boats even from the back. In order to protect the kayaks from impact during transport, the contact areas where the boat’s underside touches the carrier are padded with a special elastomer padding system for protection and support. Showcasing a new design language as well as an easy-to-handle functionality, the Whispbar WB401 delivers a high level of ease and comfort – on the road it turns into an elegant carrier that seamlessly adapts to all types of vehicles.
