Our Analysis and Test Results
The INNO Wedge is a sleek and low profile 11 cu ft capacity cargo box that is quick to install for the first time. Once set up, the memory mount attachment systems make it even quicker to remove and reinstall when needed.
Performance Comparison
Ease of Use
The Wedge is the easiest cargo box to use, particularly when it comes to installation. This storage stash conveniently comes pre-assembled and ready to mount straight onto your car roof.
The clamps are straightforward to slot into place and tighten. Once adjusted to fit, you can simply pop the lever to remove them in a flash. Reinstallation can now happen in no time. You just have to align the clamp with the bars and snap the lever closed for a secure and snug fit.
Loading and unloading the INNO Wedge 660 is aided by a dual-side opening system. This feature ensures accessibility from either side of the vehicle, which is particularly convenient in tight parking spaces or when maneuvering gear during trips.
Due to its low profile, this cargo box is harder to load with gear than some of our larger capacity boxes with wider openings. We were not able to fit loaded 60L packs into the box. The Wedge can fit skis up to 182cm long.
Security
The INNO Wedge has a simple closure with a lock and key. One security feature is that the key will not come out of the lock unless you have firmly closed and locked the box. Unlike some models, there is no other obvious visible indicator to confirm that the box is closed.
This cargo box performed on par with most of our others in terms of overall security. We didn't come across complaints from other users regarding the penetrability of this box.
Quality
Constructed from sturdy ABS plastic, the INNO Wedge 660 is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor travel. It provides reliable protection against the elements, keeping gear safe and dry even in adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow. The box's sleek aerodynamic shape also minimizes wind resistance and noise, enhancing overall driving comfort.
Appearance
Appearance is another metric where the INNO Wedge really stood out. The profile and finish of the cargo box give it a great profile which suits almost all car designs. Its low-profile silhouette complements the roofline, maintaining a sleek and stylish appearance while minimizing drag for improved fuel efficiency.
The Wedge is also available in white. When clean, this gives a particularly elegant look on cars.
Should You Buy the INNO Wedge?
If you are looking for a low-profile cargo box and want to make sure it looks good, this may be the match for you. The INNO Wedge 660 impresses with its blend of functionality, durability, and user-friendly features. Whether you're embarking on a weekend getaway or a cross-country road trip, this cargo box delivers on its promise of secure, spacious storage without compromising on style or convenience.
What Other Cargo Boxes Should You Consider?
For those who would benefit from a larger capacity cargo box and are willing to lose the slender profile, consider the Yakima GrandTour, with a premium finish and aesthetic to suit, this larger capacity box can hold more bulky items and bigger bags.
