SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted
The rack arrived very quickly. Upon opening the box I observed that the covers for the suction pads had come loose during shipping. Probably not an issue. The instructions for assembly and mounting were clear and easy to follow. I planned to secure the cups to the glass roof on my VW. So, I thought it would be best to clean the glass and roof with auto detailing spray. After doing that I attached the carrier and gave it a prett y good shake. I have attached three photographs that may add clarity. I'm very optimistic. This may be the best carrier I've had for my bicycle. Keep Eager.
I received delivery and setup. I seem to be able to connect my road bike wheel with quick release - but not my road disc bike with thru-axle. Do I need an accessory for thru axle bike?

Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum - Gunmetal Gray
Overall, a beautifully made sturdy rack and excellent value of quality for price. My only wish is the front 4 Allen screw/ two u clamp mount design, while stable, could be redesigned with a quicker system of fastening. I switch these between two cars, and wish it were easier to dismount/mount on the crossbars. it holds the bikes securely and I like the look of them very much. if you don't move them on and off they will be 5 stars.
I got this since the rack I originally ordered was no longer in production. I really like that this rack is not the plain old boring solid black like most out there. It was super easy to install. BUT, keeping in mind I am blonde and prone to daft moments (or few), I kind of had issues putting my bike on the rack at first. With some jiggling and jangling of the fork mount, I was able to figure out that you pull on the end that does not have the lever and to loosen up the rubber stopper that connects to the lever to make room for the fork to mount to the skewer. And then it was easy there after! Derr... I drove in 20mph+ winds and on 70mph interstate with my bike on the rack and did not encounter issues, as well as through pouring rain. I did stop to check how secure my bike was mounted and it was fine. I tightened the fork mount a few times just for minor jiggling security's sake. I then drove on some rough-ish mountain roads to get to the trail head (yes, I know it says no off road, but c'mon, mountain bikers have to in order to get to the trails) and the bike remained secure the whole time. In all, so far, I highly recommend this product. I drive a 2015 Subaru outback with the stock roof rack and it fit fine, even with hatch door open. My bike is a 29 hardtail Haro. It fit fine.

SeaSucker Mini Bomber Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mount
I just bought a new car that's a sedan. I didn't want to install a hitch and use the bike rack I had so I started searching for roof racks. I came across this set up from Sea Sucker and started researching. I found some really good reviews and very little negative. I actually thought about this for a year or so before settling. This rack is as advertised that once it is mounted, it's not coming off! It will take a couple times installing to figure to understand balancing the bike and lining the forks up but then it will get easier. Make sure you understand the size thru axle adaptor you might need. It is explained easily for reference to your bike. I also like not having a "permanent" rack on top. Customer service was above and beyond as always with updates and follow up. First class operation! On suggestion, I got the cable and trunk mount anchor for security. Like anything else, if you follow directions and take care of this rack, I see it lasting several years.
I was skeptical about using this on my Model 3, but it works really well. Both bikes attached firmly and did not budge the entire 2 -1/2 hr ride. Even drove through some rain and the seasucker was unaffected. There was some noise generated from the handle that is designed into the main component when driving. However, I just put some gaff tape over it and the noise disappeared. Highly recommend.

Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Good product. However, the one I ordered was supposed to fit the aero cross bars on 2018 Subaru roof racks and it doesn't. In fact the fit is very sloppy and looks unsafe. Sending mine back if they can't find a clamp that fullly contacts all surfaces.
Fits my whispbar crossbars (a lot cheaper than the whispbar-specific rack) and is pretty simple and straightforward to use. I've owned a couple of other universal sort of racks (fit lots of bikes, fit lots of crossbars) and this one is a good one both in terms of simple initial installation on your vehicle and also simple loading/unloading of bike.

Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum - Black and Polished Chrome
Installed all products after having watched videos and read through pdf instructions. The Yakima JetStream roof rack system is outstanding (with one exception) - instructions and videos facilitated the installation. The Yakima system is the only one I could find for my car (Mercedes E450 Coupe), as the car's panorama roof glass extends to the edges near the fixed mounts. The Yakima system is quiet, thanks to the ability to modify the crossbar pitch angles, and has a high-quality appearance that complements my car. And it is rock solid. The Kuat Trio bike tray is an outstanding low-cost, simple solution - well-designed and well-executed and installs to the Yakima JetStream bars flawlessly. I would recommend that Kuat include a 12mm x 100mm thru-axle in the Trio kit, as I had to purchase that part separately. Only disappointment is in the Yakima Landing Pad Covers that ship with the Landing Pad 22 (LP 22) kit. The covers do not snap tightly into place, and appear as if they were designed for a different Landing Pad. In summary, my Yakima/Kuat bicycle roof rack system exceeds expectations (except for the LP 22 Covers), operates flawlessly, looks great, and stores easily. It has given me high confidence in Yakima, in Kuat and in etrailer.com. Well done.
Product arrived quickly, and with all the necessary parts and pieces. Installation was quick and easy, and the product performs exactly as I had hoped.

Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount
Just put it on. Works great. Took a few minutes to figure out the best way to secure it to the roof, but once on top it’s very easy to place the bike and secure it. Highly recommend getting the locks for extra security of the rake and your bike.
