Can Malone MicroSport Trailer Use Thule Accessories

Question

Question:

I am interested in a kayak trailer. We already have many Thule components e.g., bike rack for a Thule roof rack system. The square cross bars on the Malone look very similar to the Thule cross bars. Do you know if our Thule components will fit on the Malone rack?

Expert Reply:

The Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G can absolutely utilize your Thule accessories because it uses standard square crossbars which are the same as those you would find on a roof rack.

So using the MicroSport trailer is a lot like utilizing a roof rack that you are towing behind your vehicle. The biggest difference is this trailer is a whole lot easier to access than the top of most roofs. If you are looking for the easiest way to haul a kayak, this is it.

I have added a photo a customer sent in showing this trailer carrying their Hobie kayaks and I have added links to a couple video reviews of the trailer for you to check out as well.

will Thule componets work on Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars?

As long as the Thule accessory is compatible with an aero crossbar and/or T-Slot then it will definitely fit on the Malone AirFlow 2 roof rack crossbar system. Some of the older Thule products will only fit with square crossbars so you just need to be mindful of that.
