The rack is designed with [vacuum cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekester-travelpack-vacuum-kit) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Noninvasive Vehicle Racks:** Opportunity to develop new vacuum cup-based racks for carrying gear on vehicles without causing damage to the vehicle's exterior. - **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. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Opportunity for automakers to offer noninvasive and customizable gear racks as a standard feature in some models. - **Outdoor Sports:** Opportunity for outdoor sports gear manufacturers to develop and market their own noninvasive, quick-release, and adjustable gear racks for their products. - **Sporting Goods Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to offer a variety of customizable gear racks specifically designed for carrying their products and targeting weekend warriors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Vehicle Organization Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokhu-rack.md) - [Level-Access Car Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-racks.md) - [Magnetic Universal Car Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-adventure-roof-rack.md) - [Motor-Assisted Bicycle Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorassisted-bicycle-rack.md) - [Rack-Free Car Ski Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailer-hitch-ski-rack.md) - [Rugged Pickup Storage Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truck-bed-rack.md) - [Compact Cyclist Car Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbull-rack.md) - [Lateral Rooftop Cargo Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooftop-cargo-racks.md) - [Low-Profile Highly-Configurable Van Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-rack.md)
