Will The Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP/Kayak Carrier Mount To Subaru Outback Factory Crossbars

Question:

I have a 2024 Subaru Outback and I would like to carry a Hobie Compass Duo. Would the Rhino-Rack Nautic 570 work with the stock cross bars on the Outback?

Hey Michael,

The Rhino-Rack Nautic SUP or Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # RR570 has a maximum crossbar dimensions of 3-7/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall so you'd just need to measure your factory crossbars to see if they fall within this sizing. You'll also want to verify the weight capacity of your crossbars as a lot of factory crossbars tend to be limited to only 100lbs, which wouldn't be enough for your Hobie Mirage Compass Duo kayak.

If your crossbars fall outside of the fitment range or don't have enough capacity then you can switch to the Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit # TH44GG.
