Question:

Hi, I purchased a 2021 Hobie Mirage Lynx. The specs are as follows: WIDTH 36inch / 91.44 CM and HEIGHT FROM FLOOR TO TALLEST POINT ON THE KAYAK: 9inch / 22.86 CM. I would like to purchase a Lockrack system. Will the Lockrack system for 1 SUP with a T-Bar connection work? Are the bars that lock it in place tall enough? Thanks

I have a great kayak carrier option for your 2021 Hobie Mirage Lynx kayak. Although, the Lockrack Adjustable Stand-Up Paddle Board Carrier # LR47FR only measures 7-5/16 inches from the base to the bottom edge of the hook. I went ahead and attached a photo with this measurement for your convenience. This low height is due to the fact that this rack is designed to use with stand-up paddle boards.

For a definite fit, I recommend the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier - Canoe, Kayak, or 2 SUPs # LR54FR. This monster can hold a kayak up to 41-1/2 inches wide and up to about 26-1/2 inches in height. I went ahead and attached a demo video that shows these measurements. With these parameters, it is perfect for your Mirage Lynx.

If you need a crossbar system that is required for the Lockrack, feel free to respond with your year/make/model of vehicle and I will be happy to recommend a setup that works for you.
