How are the Yakima HighRoad and FrontLoader Roof Bike Racks Different
Question:
Yakima High Road and Frontloader Hi I am thinking of purchasing one of these for my Subaru Impreza 5 door sport. Its a 2018 and has the Fixed Crossbar Set part # E361SFL200. Will either of these racks work with these crossbars? Also what is the major difference between the two?

Expert Reply:
Both the Yakima FrontLoader, Y02103, and the Yakima HighRoad, # Y02114, will fit your 2018 Subaru Impreza 5-door with roof rack E361SFL200. The FrontLoader is actually being phased out and replaced with the HighRoad so if it were me I would take the HighRoad!
The HighRoad is an updated design that is compatible with more bikes than the FrontLoader. They hold the bikes in the same way and both have locking capabilities. The HighRoad is a little heavier at 18 pounds compared to the FrontLoader at 13 pounds. I have linked a video of the HighRoad on a similar-ish vehicle for you.
