Yakima FrontLoader Upright Rooftop Bike Rack Roof Bicycle Carrier

Easily transport your bike whether you're driving across the country or simply heading to the trail with the Yakima Frontloader rooftop bike carrier. Yakima's most versatile rooftop bike mount, the Frontloader fits most crossbar types--including round, square, or factory crossbars--right out of the box.

The Frontloader's front wheel clamp fixes your bike to the roof of your car. No need to mess with frustrating tools or poorly designed clamps. More importantly, the Frontloader is a breeze to use. Just place your bike's front wheel in the jaws of the front clamp and lock it, and then tighten the rear clamp on the back wheel. The bike stays vertical throughout the process, so all you have to do is roll it up and latch it down. In addition, the rack includes an adjustable sliding wheel tray that accommodates frames and wheels of all sizes, from 20-inch kids' wheels all the way up to 29-inch mountain and 700c road wheels (with the exception of tandems and recumbents). Got a funky suspension system or a pesky thru axle? Not a problem with the Frontloader.

Finally, the Frontloader comes equipped with a tough security system that locks your bike to the bike mount and the bike mount to your car rack, so you can head into the restaurant without fearing for your bike's safety (SKS lock cores are sold separately). The Frontloader--which folds flat when not in use--measures 56 by 7.5 by 7 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 13 pounds.
