If your bike-rack budget is feeling the squeeze, consider the Yakima Boa Roof Mount Bike Carrier. As Yakima's most affordable fork mount, the Boa won't constrict your budget, and its unique and flexible design allows the carrier to be mounted almost anywhere.
The Boa includes a short, pivoting wheel tray, enabling the rack to carry a wide range of bike sizes without a full length tray. Not having the tray also makes the Boa great for use on the Yakima LoadWarrior and MegaWarrior cargo baskets. You can haul your bike and still easily access your gear in the basket.
The Boa features a Same Key System (SKS)-lockable skewer for keeping your bike and rack securely atop your vehicle. The skewer features a hard plastic quick-release lever for fast loading and unloading of your bike to the fork block, and an SKS Core (sold separately) allows you to lock your bike to the rack. Because the installation hardware is hidden behind the hard plastic cover on the fork block and you can only remove the cover by removing the skewer, the fork block is locked to the crossbars as well.
For additional security, the wheel tray can be locked to your crossbars by replacing the hand knob (hex key) on the bottom of the mounting bracket with a Yakima Accessory Lock Housing (Y07220), which requires purchase of an additional SKS Core.
