SOLID CROSSBARS
vs.
CLICK-IN CROSSBARS

To compliment the different hole patterns, Kayak Mounts and other accessories are made with the insert push pin located in the Center of the mount for Standard holes; they are also made as Offset Mounts for the Offset side holes.  Simply put, you need an Offset Mount for the offset crossbar and the Center Mount for the Standard crossbars.  Once you have the the crossbars installed you will see that you can swap the Center and Offset in various positions to move the kayak left or right just a few inches, all the while utilizing the extremely strong mounting system and keeping the kayak or paddle board aligned parallel with the vehicle.  To see Kayak/Board Mounts click here.

The Universal Brackets are also made in a variety of different sizes and fitments to accommodate other manufacture's carriers.  Basically you can strap or bolt any bike carrier, roof top tent, other mfg. kayak mounts, roof storage bins, etc. to the EXR Universal Brackets, and from that point forward CLICK-IN the accessory in a matter of seconds to the EXR Click-In Crossbars.  This allows you to interchange carriers and accessories daily with tremendous ease.  We offer a free LIKE-FOR-LIKE swap for EXR Universal Brackets.  So if you purchase one bracket and it doesn't fit your other mfg. accessory we will swap it out for you for free for the one you need.  Our goal is to get you on the road doing awesome things, daily.  Like-for-Like means the bracket being returned should be within 30 days of purchase, not have any wear and tear other than what would be considered minor signs of initial fit check, and can be swapped for another bracket with the same, or similar price (within $1).  To make this easy, single brackets have all been priced the same; and double brackets have all been priced the same.  To see all EXR Universal Click-In Brackets, click here.  

The Click-In Crossbars with the laser cut holes create a ridiculously strong platform with the added benefit of allowing accessories and carriers to literally just click-in.  Also, because the pieces just click-in, you can gain more real estate on the crossbar by using the end square holes and carrying the items on the roof out over the edge of the crossbar (i.e. you can carry a lot more).  

The heavy duty carbon steel is the same 1.25" square tubing used for both the Multi-Function Crossbars and the Solid Crossbars.  Either Crossbar style will work with other manufacturer's accessory mounts that fit around the bar and typically bolt on.
