I’m thinking about gettin the EV6 and wondering if it can handle two kayaks, each weighing 21kg. Most setups I’ve seen are for single kayaks, so not sure about carrying two. I’ve found the Thule Wingbar Eco and Yakima Jetstream roof bars. Anyone know which one’s got the more secure foot design? Also, with the bars fitting on the EV6, especialy with the GTL sunroof and short space between them, will it be stable enough for two kayaks?
 
We have two Oru kayaks and they fit inside the EV6 without any issues because you can fold up them. I didn't have to deal with any roof bars or the sunroof limitations.

Thule is a great and dependable brand. You'll surely have your money's worth.
 
The EV6 should handle two kayaks if you’re using the right setup. Both the Thule Wingbar Eco and Yakima Jetstream are good options. The Yakima typically has a more secure foot design, and as long as you distribute the weight properly, it should be stable. Just make sure the roof bars are mounted correctly, especially with the GTL sunroof. If you’re unsure, it might help to check with the rack installers for specific weight distribution tips.
