The Problem

Stop wondering if your vacuum mounts are still holding

Vacuum racks are convenient, but the indicators are outside the car. Kraken gives you an in-car view of each mount's status and alerts you if one needs attention while you drive.

  • See each vacuum mount's status in the app
  • Get alerts if a mount drops below the alert threshold
  • Installs in a few minutes, no tools required

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Get in touch and I'll answer personally.

Which racks are supported?

Kraken Rack Monitor is designed for vacuum-mounted racks. The current version supports the SeaSucker Talon 1-Bike Rack only.

Support for additional vacuum rack models may be added in the future. If you'd like support for another rack, you can request it without any obligation.

How long does the battery last?

The built-in battery lasts up to 25 hours of continuous use on a single charge. It recharges fully in up to 3 hours via USB-C. Charging cable not included.

Can I use other apps while the rack monitor is running?

Yes. Kraken Rack Monitor can run in the background, so you can use navigation, music, or other apps while monitoring your rack. You'll receive alerts if a mount's pressure drops below the alert threshold.

However, background operation can be affected by your phone's operating system and power-saving settings. For the most reliable monitoring experience, it's recommended to keep the Kraken Rack Monitor app active whenever possible.

Where do you ship?
Kraken Rack Monitor currently ships to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and selected EU countries. If your country is not available at checkout, you can request a shipping destination and I'll check if I can arrange shipping manually.
How long does shipping take?

Most orders are estimated to arrive within 2-5 business days after shipping, depending on destination.

Will I have to pay import duties or additional fees?

No. For supported shipping destinations, taxes/import fees are included in the price, so you should not receive a separate import bill on delivery.

What warranty is included?

Kraken Rack Monitor includes a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and hardware failures under normal use.

If you experience an issue, just get in touch and I'll do my best to make it right.

Do you accept returns?

Yes. If you're not satisfied, you can return the product within 30 days of delivery, provided it is returned complete and undamaged.

Please contact me before returning your order so I can help you through the process.

Why does it cost $249?
Kraken Rack Monitor is currently made in a very small first batch of just 20 units and hand-assembled in Sweden. At this scale, the parts, testing, packaging, and assembly time are expensive. The $249 price also includes fast UPS shipping and import duties/taxes for the countries I currently ship to, so the price you see is the price you pay. As production grows and I can manufacture in larger batches, I hope to reduce the price in the future.

Ready to stop worrying and enjoy the drive?

Installs in a few minutes. Built for the SeaSucker Talon 1-Bike rack. Drive knowing every mount is holding.
