Roof Rack For 2021 Honda Odyssey With Raised Side Rails to Carry Kayaks

Question:

Can you please recommend Roof Rack Cross Bars and a method of attaching two Kayaks to my 2021 Honda Odyssey? The Honda Front to Rearfoot roof rack rails will already be installed. Thank you

We can absolutely get your 2021 Honda Odyssey with raised side rails set up with a roof rack so you can carry a couple of kayaks. Let's go ahead and start with the rack system, and my favorite option is from Rhino-Rack, with the correct fit for your 2021 Odyssey being the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2

- Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX100

The reason I like the Rhino-Rack option so much is because it is the best value; what I mean by that is Rhino-Rack is the same level of high quality you see from other name brands, but at a lesser cost. Basically, you aren't paying extra just to get a sticker with the name of the brand on it; Rhino-Rack is just a really good, durable, quiet roof rack. To go with this roof rack, you can carry a pair of kayaks with a carrier also from Rhino-Rack:

- Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # RRS520

The Nautic Stack is easy to use as you can either clamp it around the Rhino-Rack crossbars, or mount it in the top channels of the bars. It also comes with the tie-downs needed for two kayaks, saving you additional expenses.
