Purchased this stand to transport my expensive road bike or my gravel bike while traveling to and from ride locations. I mounted it on my ToyotaRav-4 roof cross beams with no problem! Easy installation. This stand easily adapts to either of my bikes with no problems. Once the bike is in place and the retaining bar is tighten down properly, there is no unwanted movement of the bike; it is securely fastened down and no worries of any possible accidents of your bike coming unstable and falling off. I’ve traveled on highways and country roads and neither the speed of which I’m traveling or the bumpiness of the road has loosened the bike from the stand. Good product and worth the money. I may purchase another stand so I can travel with both bicycles at one time. There is only one drawback. You are required to purchase the locking anti theft devices separately from the stand. You do receive a securing cable with the stand but no locking mechanism with it. Each stand requires two locks, one for the anti theft of the stand which lock the stand to your roof mounts and one for the anti theft cable for securing the bike to the stand. Both Locks aren’t required but should be purchased for peace of mind safety.

Ordered this and needed it right away. Emailed the company shipping the product that I needed the rack as quickly as possible as the delivery window indicated on Amazon extended from just before my departure to just after. They emailed me back immediately (to my great surprise) and said they would ship the rack out that same day. I received the rack ONE DAY later! Unbelievable customer service. I would buy from these guys again in a heart beat.Now on to the rack. Needed a rooftop rack and did not want to spend a fortune. Looked at the 3 most popular manufacturers of rooftop racks and read about a thousand reviews of the products. I went with what I thought looked like the easiest and most economical choice. Read the instructions and had the rack mounted on top of my Hyundai Santa Fe in about 10 min. Since then I have had the rack off and on my car with about 5 min for placement on the car and about 2 min for removal. Putting the bike in the rack is extremely quick and easy. Seat the bike in rack cradle turn large screw to secure the front tire then cinch down the back tire strap. Hardest part is getting bike on the roof of the car. This goes for any rack if you have a tall car (SUV) like we do. Once up on the roof it is a complete breeze. The rack feels solid, has a nice finish to it, and is easy to use. What more can I ask? The bike felt solid in the rack and had little play when I manually tried to rock it. I traveled 3 hours on highway and back roads (plenty of bumps) each way for my trip and more while at the destination without any issue at all. This is a terrific product and I highly recommend it. DO NOT LET OTHER BAD REVIEWS SCARE YOU OFF!One major complaint about this rack in the reviews I read is that it does not fit on all cars because the rack extends too far back and therefore interferes with opening the back hatch of the car. This is non-sense. If such a scenario occurs (as did with my Santa Fe) just mount the rack so that the front of the bike faces the back of the car. Problem solved! The other complaint I read about in the reviews was of a whistling noise with both the rack and a bike on the car. I heard no such noise despite listening for it. My only complaint about this product is that it does not come with the lock system installed. You have to buy the locks separately which cost $35 - $50. I have tried hard to find them for less without luck. You need the magic key (the one that allows you to install and remove the locks), the keys to open and close the lock, and 2 locks to have the complete set for this rack. One locks the rack to the roof and the other locks the bike to the rack. Some discount sites and Ebay sell just the locks or just the lock and keys and not the magic key. Be careful of what you buy otherwise might not have what is needed for the lock system to work. As for me, I don't live in an area where I need the locks and was traveling to a place where locks were not necessary so I did not buy them. Maybe in the future if I find I really need them. I rarely use the locking system on my Thule 3 bike rack I use on the back of my car for the other three bikes we travel with.

Very practical to install and uninstall, if you don't want to have the rack getting damaged by the sun, water and other things, this is the one.The main concern is that the security locks are not very solid and safe seems that can be unlocked easily and the security cable its very thin. Don't leave it unwatched.Also realize that this model doesn't look and feel as solid as the other models and you can feel it when you see the adjustment to the car bars and in somewhere because the movement of the bike while commuting. Also don't know how much pressure you can do on the plastic screws to fix this up to the bars without breaking anything.I have also a concern about other reviews talking about the risk to lost the bike if the front tire get flat. Now I'm sure that this wont happens if you have the security cable on.I guess that this rack should fit in any car, because if it don't let you open the back door you can turn it 180 degrees and all fixed. Also the design allows to mount it in any kind of bars.Cons:Back strap is too smallConcerns about security of the whole rack and Lock cores weakness and are quiet expensive.Do not exceed 90Mph145kmPh or the rack can fly out with your bike..happens to a friend.. lolPros:Very easy to install and uninstall, also for thieves, lol.Don't need additional parts to fit in any kind of bars as other references do.Update:I found a very important thing in another review that everyone should be aware off to really enjoy this rack.By Tom Beausoleil: "The only possible issue I found was when tightening the front wheel down, if you don't hold it tight to the rack the tire has tendencies to lift away from the rack making it unstable. If you pay attention and hold the front tire down while tightening it works amazing."Update2:After the last travel,more than 350 KM realized that this rack was very well designed and the bike does not even move. Just need to be well installed and used it as indicated.The small part that support the front well fall apart on the first use, seems like the screw is too short, I do recommend to check it up.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Very solid. Easy to mount the bike: place the back on the rack rail, move the bike forward and the front tire lock engages. Then tighten the rear wheel strap and the front wheel lock. The rack keeps the bike stable on the road. So far so good. Happy with purchase.

Ottimo prodotto.Si monta in pochissimi minuti e in un minuto metti la bici su e la blocchi.Buoni materiali con cui è fatto ed è anche bello esteticamente.Lo consiglio vivamente.

Muy buen producto de buena calidad. Y fácil de instalar.

This Yakima FrontLoader Rooftop Bike Rack is phenomenal! Not only is it super easy to install, but it is also by far the easiest rooftop bike rack I have used when it comes to mounting a bike. I love the zero-frame contact and it is as simple as rolling your wheel forward, locking into position, and done!Super happy with this purchase, and the quality is great as expected. I can easily recommend this to anyone interested! An A+ product from Yakima!

Ottimo prodotto , molto pratico , facile montaggio ideale per telai in carbonio in quanto non stringe il telaio ma blocca la ruota anteriore con regolazione in base al diametro.
