Curious is anyone has a cargo basket on a Q5?
Have pics? I'd like one.

I thought of you because of your bike racks. You have an inside price to share with me?

Its a combined basket w/ locking bike mounts on it!

[Mops@Nemesis]

That is badass! I do not source Kuat, but I will be contacting them Monday.

[bomb39]

Let me know what you find out.

If MOPS if its good enough for MOPS, its good enough for me.

But do I do this before KW HAS!? :)

[Mops@Nemesis]

On the HAS question, NO. Lol

Kuat stuff is the shit. I love their story, and they do such nice stuff with great finishes. Way better than the other guys. I'll let you know pricing.

Its a Vagabond II and it runs about $450. I will be getting one when I return from overseas in May.

I've still not looked it up. Hope it comes in black.

[bomb39]

No black.

The Vagabond sans X does, but doesn't have the lock, fit or finish, from what I gather.

Ah. Vagabond will have to do. Black is a must.

Anyone need some Kuat Trio trays? Paid right at $400. Will sell for $200. Never even had a bike on them.

Are you going to attach bike mounts to the basket?

Edit: didn't notice they are already there. Cool. Something I might look in to.

...but wait, there's more!
If you act now, he'll throw in two nifty bottle openers...a $19.95 value.
So call now! Operators are standing by!

[Mops@Nemesis]

OP - I'll report back once I speak with them tomorrow.

One thing I dont like about my kuat trio is the new updated 9mm skewers. Used to be able to swap it out without removing the 15mm cartridge as advertised. The new ones require you to remove the 15mm and reinsert the 9mm one eliminating some of the convenience and also adding to extra parts to lose. Still awesome bike trays. I dont love the way they affix to my tear drop shaped whispbars. They are solid but the uneven shaped bars make it a little tricky for my ocd. And, my kuat supplied universal hardware u brackets were not all too straight and symetrical. Again, they are still pretty damn slick. Maybe a bit more show than go though imo.

That vagabond x basket is sick with the addition of bike attachments. Wish I would have waited for that.

[Smittylube]

How do you like the whispbars? Are they noticeably quieter than the stock bars?

I'd love to have some that would allow me to open the sunroof without all the racket.

[happy2B5]

They are very quiet. Hardly notice they are there with or without sunroof open.

One caveat is they provide minimal roof clearance though. So the attachments need low profile hardware not to interfere with the roof line. Something to keep in mind.

[Smittylube]

any pics of them mounted?

[happy2B5]

I will snap one. I just threw em on this weeked and we got 10" snow. They are a little burried now.

[happy2B5]

Keep in mind this is on my c5 allroad. Your roof rails might even be more lopro?
