An innovation in ski rack design, this unique attachment lets you turn your Softride bike rack into a sturdy and secure carrier for your snowboards and skis. Unlike other attachments, this adapter truly converts your carrier by replacing the bike-rack arms, resulting in a more stylish, less cluttered appearance. And because the ski rack's arms firmly bolt into the existing rack's parallelogram base, you get an absolutely secure carrier.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of this rack attachment is the offset load angle. By carrying long cargo at a 45-degree angle, not only are certain clearance issues eliminated, but balance is restored, preventing tilting and flexing. At an angle, the board's center of gravity shifts, allowing proper support throughout its full length.
Designed to hold up to five sets of skis or four snowboards, this attachment creates a tight fit to prevent shifting and includes rubber padding to eliminate scratching and sliding. The top assembly opens and closes easily for quick access and locks for absolute security. The adjustable lock design ensures a perfect fit, tightening or loosening to accommodate differently sized skis and snowboards.
The Softride Dura and Elite racks are tilting parallelogram-style carriers, allowing for easy access to the rear of your vehicle without damaging cargo. Because this attachment places your snowboards and skis at a 45-degree angle, the tilting feature can still be used.
Since the arms on this adapter replace the removable bike-rack arms, purchase of Softride's wall-mounted bike storage station is recommended as a means of storing and properly maintaining your bike rack.
