Suctioning Vehicular Gear Racks

The 'Stag Rack' is a Noninvasive Way to Carry Additional Gear

— November 14, 2018 — Autos
Weekend warriors are sure to be pleased by the 'Stag Rack' as a solution that will transform any vehicle into a powerhouse for toting sports gear, bicycles and more wherever you go.

The rack is designed with vacuum cups that offer a noninvasive way to secure it and your gear to the top of your car using over 200 pounds of strength. This strong hold won't inhibit the rack from being quickly released when required to make it the perfect option for athletes who want to only keep it mounted when heading out for a weekend getaway.

The 'Stag Rack' can also be adjusted to suit your choice of gear to make it perfect for multiple pieces or individual ones.
Trend Themes
1. Noninvasive Vehicle Racks - Opportunity to develop new vacuum cup-based racks for carrying gear on vehicles without causing damage to the vehicle's exterior.
2. Quick-release Gear Racks - Opportunity to improve on the current quick-release mechanism for gear racks, making it even easier and quicker for athletes to use.
3. Adjustable Sports Gear Racks - Opportunity to create customizable sports gear racks that can be adjusted to fit both multiple pieces or individual pieces of gear.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - Opportunity for automakers to offer noninvasive and customizable gear racks as a standard feature in some models.
2. Outdoor Sports - Opportunity for outdoor sports gear manufacturers to develop and market their own noninvasive, quick-release, and adjustable gear racks for their products.
3. Sporting Goods Retail - Opportunity for retailers to offer a variety of customizable gear racks specifically designed for carrying their products and targeting weekend warriors.
