DockGrip Kayak Saddle

Drive to the launch with confidence and peace of mind knowing your kayak or SUP is securely on your roof with the Thule DockGrip Kayak Saddle. The DockGrip fits a variety of Thule rack systems, round bars, and most factory racks when used with T-Track and FlipFit brackets, giving you a versatile design that isn't limiting to just one vehicle. Then, the two independent pivoting saddles have an angle-setting lever that conforms to just about any hull shape for even more versatility. Thule gave this carrier flexible, cushioned pads to protect your kayak's hull or SUP from getting damaged on the ride in, and secures it with center load straps that feature car-protective buckle bumpers and QuickDraw bow and stern tie-downs for a quick, secure, and hassle-free transport.

Perfect Fit

I used the online system to match my vehicle (Genesis GV80) to the appropriate components. Rail and clamp system arrived quickly from Thule, and was easy to install. Great product!

Dock Grip is perfect for my kayak

I have been wanting this kayak rack for a long time and finally bit the bullet and ordered it. I am so happy that I did! This is a great kayak rack! I am a 5’3” woman and I can load my kayak on top of my compact SUV by myself and be ready to roll in about 20 minutes. The dock grip holds my kayak so well that I don’t feel I need to over tighten the cam straps, which is something I felt I had to do with other racks.

Bombproof.

This kayak carrier is excellent. The pads hold the kayak underneath and conform to the shape of the sides. The boat is held very securely.

Sticky. Hard to load.

It is very difficult to load. Not my kayak and my sup board stick to the rubber saddles. My old mount was better having felt pads at the rear. Please let me know if there is a fix for this.

Love them!!

They work perfectly for our 13 foot tandum kayak... they also will fit a 2020 Highlander with factory installed cross bars!!! They are sturdy, made well and definitely get the job down!!

Quality product and well engineered.

Typical of Thule this is a quality product and well engineered. However, the assembly instructions (pictures with no written explanation) are not easily understood and difficult to follow.

Easy to install, works well

Installed within like 10 minutes (that’s with the Wingbar Evo, I guess with other racks it could take longer). Used it to transport a large kayak on the highway and felt very secure.

Peace of mind, even with a heavy boat.

For a while now, I've had one DockGrip and one (competitor) J cradle to transport two boats. I've always preferred the DockGrip, and finally ponied up for a second. This transports a somewhat heavy boat, but it's always felt secure, loaded easily, and been a breeze to take off and put on each season. I've never worried about the boat on the DockGrip like I have the one on the J. Additionally, Thule includes a pretty high quality and comprehensive tie down kit. I'd not only recommend this to a friend, I recommended it to myself...and bought a second.

I will recommande this product to any one who ask

Once you put it on the pads it just doesn't move, very stable and when you need to put it on or remove it, its a snap the pads incline so you can grab it easier. thanks Thule

Excellent kayak rack and i would reccoment

I use it for loading an Ocean fishing kayak on a Chevy Tahoe. Makes sliding the heavy beast up there very easy and keeps it on track in the center of the vehicle.
