Which is Easier to Install and Remove the Kuat Grip 6 or the Yakima EVO Fatcat from Crossbars
Question:
Kuat Grip 6 or Yakima Evo 6? Its going on a Tesla Model 3 w/ aerobars. My main question is which is the easiest/quickest to install/remove off the bars. Ill use them for skiing but take them off and re-install at least once a week. The aero bars will remain on the car during winter. Just removing the actual racks Thanks

Expert Reply:
Both the Kuat Grip 6 part # GRR6B and the Yakima EVO Fatcat 6 part # Y03096 are really easy to use but the Yakima is the winner for sure when it comes to ease of removal and install over the Kuat as it does not require an Allen wrench or any tools like the Kuat does. I think it has the easiest to use release mechanism for carrying the skis/boards as well.
