Mars full rack and bike rack

[Hookalakupua]

Talking about Mars wind deflector, we still see some complaints about it in 2026.

We’ve had our wind deflector since July 2024, and they finally introduced theirs in 2025 after many people complained about wind noise.


Shaped to match the windshield curve, our wind deflector clears the Cyberbeast light bar cleanly

Amazing to have a company feel like they have to troll another company to push their product but that now tells me everything I need to know. By the way, where in the Bay Area are you located? Would love to sit down and meet to discuss both systems as I have a friend that has yours and he’d love to sit down with us.

Maybe we can meet and you can help the community understand why your 270 Awning looks so much like the one from OpenRoad or maybe discuss the similarities between iKamper’s Skycamp and your SkyLounge.

Let me know when you’d like to sit down and meet for a recorded and unedited YouTube video. I’m sure you’re going to keep trolling so do what you do best.

I really was trying to let this go but rereading your posts, I’ve changed my mind. Since you seem to love comparisons, please do a compare and contrast, with pictures, between OpenRoad’s 270 Awning and yours, and then the same for iKamper’s SkyCamp and your SkyLounge. If you don’t feel so inclined then no worries as I’d be more than happy to. And yes, being a Bay Area Company as you state, my offer still stands to meet. I have no affiliation with MarsAG outside of being a customer and I’d be more than willing to sit down and discuss my thoughts on their product and yours.

Or, you can let this thread get back to what its initial intended purpose was for and cut your loses now.

I’ll be looking forward to that comparison analysis and your acceptance to meet.

If you look closely, our 270 awning is hardshell with molle panels and 8.2 ft long. The details matter and they're all there for anyone who wants to compare.

Appreciate the feedback. Genuinely.

We posted a design comparison because that's what engineers do. We look at how things are built, we study what works and what doesn't, and we share what we find. That's not trolling. That's transparency.

A wind deflector might seem like a simple part but the design choices tell you a lot about how a team thinks about airflow, mounting stress, long term durability, and real world performance. We showed the differences because we think the community deserves to see them and make their own call.

We've been designing, testing, and iterating on Cybertruck accessories since 2024. We've shipped product. We've taken feedback. We've gone back to the drawing board more times than we can count. That's the work and it speaks for itself.

If showing how two products are actually built makes someone uncomfortable, that says more about the product than it does about us.

We're here to build great stuff. That's it.

Oh trust me, I’ve looked very very closely and that’s why we went with the OpenRoad. Yes, you have a hard shell container that houses the awning and it has molle webbing. Well done. However, you failed to mention the strikingly similar deployment, lighting, etc.. between yours and the 3 or 4 top over-landing companies out there and their 270 degree awning. You haven’t created a product out of thin air for the Cybertruck and it’s most definitely not the only option out there.

That said, let’s be clear: posting a side-by-side design comparison that spotlights one product’s perceived shortcomings while promoting your own (especially in a thread that had nothing to do with your product) rarely comes across as neutral “engineer sharing notes.” It functions as a classic indirect sales tactic—highlight differences to imply superiority without saying it outright. The community has seen this play out before with various accessories, and most owners can spot when “transparency” is being used to steer attention toward one brand.
Details matter, yes—but context matters more.

• Wind deflector and airflow design. Pointing out a single component like the wind deflector as proof of overall team thinking is fair game for discussion, but it’s also cherry-picking. Real-world performance comes from thousands of miles, varied conditions, user feedback loops, and iterative revisions—not just static photos or CAD views. Both companies have shipped products, gathered feedback, and iterated (Mars AG since early Cybertruck accessory days too). If the goal is community education, why not share your wind tunnel data, instead of just exploded views? Since you’re a bunch of engineers, why not do a true design and performance comparison like you stated and in the name of full transparency. As a matter of fact, wouldn’t it make sense to then do it for all your products? I can provide you with a list of comparable products if that would help.

Your “comparison” conveniently omits advantages of MarsAG products and disadvantages of your own. True transparency would include those trade-offs , not just the ones that favor your own lineup. However, that would require being comfortable with uncomfortable truths.

The community benefits when companies compete by building better products, responding to feedback, and letting owners decide—not by interrupting threads to drop comparison posts that read more like marketing than objective analysis.

Questions to be answered:
Where in the Bay Area is the company located?
Where and when would you like to meet, to discuss and compare products for a fully transparent YouTube video?
Where is the comparison between iKamper’s SkyCamp and your SkyLounge?

Urander crossbars give you total flexibility

• You can slide them anywhere on the rack.
• You can stack them together to reduce wind drag.
• Adjust them easily without removing or reinstalling into new holes like you would with Mars.
• The top and bottom tracks let you mount the crossbar either on top or underneath the track. You can attach it to the bottom track facing down with an M10 eye nut to handle heavy loads.
• Supports M10 bolts for stronger, more secure crossbars compared to Mars M8 bolts on the track.

Built-in tracks allow easy repositioning, even with an 8.2 ft hardshell 270° awning or a loaded motorcycle.


It takes less than one minute to reposition a Urander crossbar!


You can stack them together to reduce wind drag.

You also have the option to add a back window or our 110" long by 3.14" tall pass through tent, giving you an enclosed bed that doubles your usable space. Once you try a bed cap, it is like driving a CyberTruck, you will not go back. That is another reason we sell way more bed caps than just open racks

I bought the Urander bed rack due to better reviews and options(dual opening side molle panels). Their wind deflector is a proper design compared to that other one shown here. I prefer a 270 that also goes forward to cover the doors completely, so I went with OVS's XD 270. It's a soft cover but has a nice annex room option so I can have privacy walls all around. I will be using them to take a shower with the cybertruckco's smuggler's bay rinse kit behind the bed.

What kind of bed slider is in the picture you shared @Urander ?

Thanks for the love! We’re not exactly sure which bed slider that CT owner is using since we only saw the photo on Facebook. But we’ll be installing the Decked Mega Drawers and CargoGlide slider on our truck very soon. They’re getting our bed cap too and it’s a perfect combo
