Why this product
Why the Rhino-Rack Nautic 580 Side Loading?
The Nautic 580 is Rhino-Rack's side-loading J-cradle — padded arms, 75 lb capacity, universal crossbar clamps. At 6 lbs it is lighter than most steel J-cradles. Single kayak only and no SUP support. A solid mid-range option if you already run Rhino-Rack crossbars and want matching hardware.
