Used this on a 2,500 mile round trip through the mountains and my bike never moved. Highly recommended.

Comments about Yakima FrontLoader Bike Roof Carrier:

I've always used car roof racks, either for bikes or kayaks....
And, I've always been against putting a bike rack onto the rear of
the car. This bike car top rack is simply the best way to transport your bike
and not having to worry if its going to fall off.

This rack stays exactly where you place it. My only problem is that it does cost a bit to buy this, but, if your want the best, you've simply gotta get this bike rack system. You'll be glad that you did!...

Installed Frontloader on my 2010 4Runner. Works nicely with my cyclocross bike. Once the knob is tightened, the bike is very secure. Should serve my bike transportation needs nicely as I can leave the rack on my car with the yakima locks and don't have to remove the front tire. Couple notes, though. This rack will not work straight out of the box on the latest designed 4Runners...which I didn't realize until I put it on my car. The rack is too long and interferes with the rear spoiler when you pop the tailgate. To fix, I simply sawed off a couple inches from the end and replaced the endcap. Took a little bit of work, but works fine now. Second, I like the idea behind the Highroller with the ratchet system. The Frontloader requires you to screw and unscrew the knob all the way for loading and unloading. Seems the ratchet system would make things much easier for loading and unloading.

All in all...I like the rack. Seems to be very well constructed with a couple quirks to it (specific to my vehicle). Overall, I'm pleased with the rack and will definitely continue buying yakima products.

I compared roof bike carriers for awhile and ended up with this one. Sure glad I did because this thing is great! The installation is ultra-easy requiring no tools at all. In-fact, I only install it on my roof rack when I'm going to use it. If it were a pain to install or if it required tools, I'd have to leave it on my 4Runner all the time, which I don't want to do (air resistance, fitting in the garage, looks...). Installs in about a minute and a half. I have mine attached to a Gobi roof rack which has round crossbars built in for this kind of thing, but it looks like the rack would fit on most factory rails without any adapters.I use it for a mountain bike with 700x40C wheels and it keeps a real solid hold on it. I don't worry about it coming loose at all. Putting the bike in is easy and straightforward, too. It's nice not having to remove the wheel. Great product.My only gripe is the color scheme. I can't stand red on black! But that's just one guy's preference. No big deal.And by the way, Campmor is an awesome company. They [...]had the best price on the web. Would definitely order from them again.

very easy to install, fit on the factory crossbars, (thule required extra adapters), easy to get the bikes into, we bought the lock cores ( I think they should come with )and even they installed easily. very happy with these racks

Nice rack that will fit any vehicle with factory cross-bars and any bicycle. Great value.

We loved our first one so much we added another. They are quick to mount easy to get off and on. They don't make hardly any wind noise the the bikes out of them (in case you leave them on the car).

I love this carrier It fits on my factory Honda Pilot roof rack. I installed it and haven't looked back. It holds my mountain bike well and I like the fact that it can adjust to fit any bike I throw on it. I also put my kayak on the roof next to it and I could even carry 2 kayaks on their side along with a bike. This carrier doesn't make any audible sounds in the wind no matter how fast I drive. I like the fact that it leaves my rear cargo access door completely functional. I don't have to move a bike to put things in the back of the vehicle like a trunk/hitch mount carrier.

I like the fact that your bike can lock to the rack. Even when it's locked the one thing that concerns me is that someone with the right tool could simply unscrew the carrier from the roof rack and take your bike and the carrier. It may be awkward to steal all this at once but it's doable. I wish there was a way have a locking cover over the screws that mount the carrier to the roof rack. Then it would be perfect.

I put 3 on my pop up camper and 2 on my car and took our bikes all over this summer. Did a week long trip around colorado and never had any issues.
