Transport Your Outdoor Sports Equipment With Specialized Racks
Who doesn’t love outdoor sports? They’re fun, keep you active, and let you breathe some fresh air. It can be as easy as pulling the football out of the garage and heading to a nice open field with some friends or family. However, your sport of choice might require more equipment than just a ball. Snowboarding, skiing, and biking, just to name a few, require more unwieldy equipment that requires a little more forethought before you can embark. You may need to invest in a specialized carrier to transport your valued sporting equipment safely and protectively.
Mont Blanc manufactures an excellent Ski Rack that will come in handy if you enjoy schushing down mountains on your own skis. This ski rack has universal mounting brackets, which fit all OEM roof racks with cross rails that are under 3.25-inches wide. Rubber inserts protect your skis from damage and oversized release levers allow for easy access to your equipment, even when wearing bulky gloves! Locks are included to protect your skis from theft. This model features a scissor style, which can hold four pairs of skis with or without ski bags. If you’re more of a shredder, you can substitute two boards for 4 sets of skis and call it a Snowboard Rack instead. Also, when warmer weather returns, you can use your rack for water skis!
For all you bike enthusiasts or future bike enthusiasts, a Bike Rack Carrier is a necessity. There are three main types of bike racks: roof-mounted racks, trunk-mounted racks, and hitch-mounted racks. All three are fairly self-explanatory as far as vehicle placement goes, but they each feature different advantages and disadvantages depending on your specific auto and personal preferences. Mont Blanc makes a great roof mounted rack that fits 1-inch to 3-inch bike frames. It features a traditional v-profile wheel channel with uprights that are made of steel for superior support and stability. A lock is included for extra protection. Rola offers a hitch-mounted model with some innovative features. It has a tilt mechanism, which provides easy unloading of bikes as well as quick trunk access when bikes are stowed. This carrier also has a built-in anti-sway device to reduce bike frame movement while in transit, and an integrated cable lock system to securely lock bikes to the carrier. Its soft, rubber cradles hold bikes securely. This model fits 2-inch receivers and has folding arms that allow for compact storage when not in use. So whether you’re hitting the trails, the slopes, the pavement, or even the water, invest in a specialized equipment rack to keep your gear safe, and get on the road.
