KUAT Class 4 V2 Folding J-Style Kayak Rack — Universal Roof Carrier for Cars & SUVs

Effortless kayak transport with a low-profile footprint

When you’re ready for a day on the water, the KUAT Class 4 V2 provides a folding, J-style roof carrier designed to lock, fold, and stack away neatly. It fits a wide range of factory and aftermarket crossbars, offering a secure, versatile solution for transporting a kayak to your favorite launch point. The system emphasizes ease of use with quick-install Flip mounts and a resilient build that stands up to road and weather conditions.

Key benefits at a glance

• Carrying capacity: one kayak up to 75 lbs, keeping room on the crossbars for additional gear.
• Universal compatibility: works with most factory and aftermarket crossbars for flexible installation.
• Folding J-style versatility: switch from a low-profile stance to a ready-to-paddle J-style arrangement when you reach the water.
• Security and ease: locking flip mounts enable fast install/removal, paired with a dual-action lever for simple loading.
• Load balance and protection: adjustable tilt accommodates uneven roof bars, while co-molded rubber padding protects the hull.
• Secure tie-downs: rubber-protected cam buckles and bow/stern lines help keep the kayak steady, with strap-management to prevent flapping.

What’s included and how it supports your trips

• Two Class 4 V2 racks, bow and stern lines, and strap hardware for immediate use.
• T-channel flush mount kit for a direct connection when desired.
• Co-molded rubber padding minimizes hull contact and protects the boat during transport.
• Hook-and-loop strap management to keep cords tidy and reduce wind flutter.

Use cases range from weekend river trips to longer paddle outings. The quick-release lever and locking system streamline setup, while the low-profile fold keeps your vehicle looking clean when you’re not transporting a kayak. This transport solution emphasizes hull protection, versatility, and ease of use for drivers who value dependable, adaptable roof-mounted transport for their watercraft.

Compatibility and care

Designed to fit most crossbars—factory or aftermarket—the KUAT Class 4 V2 uses locking clamps to secure the rack in place. Refer to the included manual for assembly steps and usage guidelines to maintain performance and hull protection over time.
