Super simple setup!

I received this rack in exchange for my honest review. I felt like the install on this was so easy. There’s no real set up to speak of the rack is lightweight & my bike slides in and mounts easily. I have enjoyed it on local trips so far & I’m looking forward to testing it out on a longer trip in the future. I think this is a great option for a click & go bike rack to get you & your bike off to new adventures!

High quality easy to use bike rack

This is the best rail mount bike racks I’ve used as a rail mount bike rack. It’s extremely easy to mount and unmount from the coats crossbars and is very easy and quick to get your bike on and off. Very solid and secure mount that you won’t have to worry about thing moving around while you’re on the road. You can tell this will be a bike mount that will last a life time. Great quality accessory from Yakima one of the best car mounting companies out there. I got this product in exchange for a review.

Nice and convenience rack

I have more experience with Yakima bicycle frontloader equipment. Before when we went on a picnic we didn't think about bringing a bicycle now everything is easier when using a frontloader. I was very concerned about assembling the device but to my surprise it was installed and ready to use the frame axles are made from carbon fiber so it is sturdy and not too heavy. I'm using a mountain bike and tried to put the bike on according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is very easy to keep the vehicle balanced without colliding with the vehicle frame or discoloring the bicycle's paint because the connection points are all made of plastic and do not directly contact the vehicle frame. I am very satisfied with this device.

Yakima Frontloader 1 Bike Car Rooftop Mount Upright Bike Rack

Strong and sturdy

The FrontLoader is very sturdy and holds the bike perfectly. It has been useful for holding and securing several types and sizes of wheels from a 20 youth mountain bike to a 700x25C road bike. It is a great piece of engineering. The rack is lockable to my car and the bike is quick and easy to put on and off between my 2 cars The features are well designed and easy to use - wheel size selector and cable lock in particular. I find loading a heavy bike onto an SUV is a bit high for me (I am 6' tall) to roll it forward into the front wheel mechanism but the design's simplicity security and ability to collapse to a lower profile when not in use are worth it. Be mindful if you have fenders or anything that may cover your front wheel as the tension needs to be on the tire or it may bend or fender. Overall I absolutely love it!

Nice bike rack!

Influenster sent me this rooftop bike rack mount! It is pretty hefty and well made. You can tell it’s very sturdy. It fits most vehicles and makes life with a small SUV so easy. It is winter where I live right now so I won’t be riding a bike any time soon but I am excited to be able to use this in the summer instead of having to load the bikes in my fiancés truck!
