Does Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2020 Honda CR-V Fit Hybrid Models for Carrying 2 Kayaks

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Honda CR-V EX Hybrid. Im looking at your roof rack package, including Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54 Long - Qty 2 - RRVA137B-2, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 - RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof - DK284. Will this work on the hybrid? I plan on using it to carry 2 kayaks. Can you recommend an accessory for this? Regard,

The Rhino Rack aero bar roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 does fit your 2020 Honda CR-V hybrid with a naked roof and would work great to carry two kayaks as well. For a Rhino Rack kayak carrier that can carry both kayaks at the same time the Rhino Rack 2 Kayak Carrier part # S512-S512X would be a really great option as well.
