simple
elegant solution. Does that mean the Seasucker is way over engineered and over priced...or what? Are two suckers enough suck?

The Seasucker offers a level of redundancy--lose any one of the 3 cups but not your bike. The Kupper is one or none. Glaziers lift large sheets of heavy glass with similar technology and Alain Robert has climbed skyscrapers using them so they can work. My question would be the quality of the Kupper relative to other single-point cups.

Price does look good.

It doesn't look like it would be thru axle compatible, does it?

upon closer inspection
It really does look like two different models of window sucker; one with a rear wheel strap added and the other with a quick release bolted on. Still seems like a good idea.

Im kinda thinking of getting one of these solutions.
Does one need to worry about paint issues from suction cups, that would kinda suck ?

Susprised Seasucker doesn't come after them for patent infringement

I'd like to see one with magnets for backup. Call me paranoid.
