Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.

We have used the Swagman Roof Rack a number of times when we have needed the additional bike carrying capacity. It took a couple attempts to get the initial spacing of the bike rack properly balanced on the van’s roof rack as recommended by the instructions. But it was easy to do and once set was very easy and quick to put on and take off. The rack works great, the bike is easy to put into place and secure. The bike and rack are very stable and quiet and haven’t required any mid-trip adjustments. We always put the cheapest bike on the roof (lol) but do use a bit of duct tape to protect the finish just Incase. We are very satisfied with the rack and consider it quite a deal for the money.

Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.

Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.

Goes together quickly, appears that it will fit my needs in terms of being cross-compatible on a variety of vehicles. Fit on a Subaru Outback factory crossbar and transported bike locally with no issues when I got it out to set up and test (not quite warm enough to ride much yet where I live). Instructions are not super, but the assembly is pretty straightforward so that is not a problem. At the price point, if this rack indeed holds up to swapping onto multiple vehicles and lasts me a few years, I'll be thrilled with the purchase.

I purchased two of these racks, along with another rack that is meant to hold bikes with both tires still installed. I am extremely happy with all three of them. This rack specifically is very sturdy. Installation was sort of a pain, but that was mostly due to me installing it on the top of my 2004 GMC Yukon XL...it is so high that it was a little hard to install. But now that it's installed, it's actually very simple to take the bikes on and off. I've made one round trip with these racks, so I've put the bikes up there and removed them twice. Both trips (about 100 miles each way) they bikes were super sturdy and I had no concerns about them falling off or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this rack if you're looking for a fork down roof mounted bike carrier. In fact, I will very likely get another one when we add another bike to the family. I think I'll be able to fit four racks on the top of my Yukon easily. One last note - I was initially concerned about the height of my vehicle when bikes were on top of them. I brushed a couple of tree limbs when pulling into my camping spot, but it was no big deal. I think the total height of my load was about 10 feet, which was lower than the camper that I was pulling.

Love this bike rack! It fits perfectly with my Rhino Rack Cross Bars. I'm very impressed by the lack of wind noise. With the bike mounted on the rack, you can barely hear the wind noise at 60mph. With the sunroof open you can hear wind noise, but as long as the window is closed, you can only slightly hear anything if the radio is off and you are trying to hear it. Amazing! Can't wait to get more use out of it in the future!

I have used a lot of bike racks and this is the one I keep on my 4Runner. It just works. It is the easiest to take on and off, which is important for me because between me, my wife and kids I have 4 bikes that need to be rearranged often. We also use a roof box, kayak racks and a SUP rack so I am always taking things off and on. The front straps loop over the bar and tightens with an allen key, the back is a couple wing nuts. Since there are 2 straps up front the rack is very stable when a bike is on it. I like that it comes with locks and the skewer is super easy to adjust, clamp and unclamp. If it is cold, dark and damp at 6am and I am tired, late for a ride and still waking up this is the rack I go for because it is easy. There are a couple things to be aware of though... You will need to put a drop of oil in the skewer every 6 months or so to keep it opening and closing smoothly. Otherwise is can stick. Sometimes if the skewer is turned just right there will be a bit of whistle because of a hole in the clamping mechanism. If I turn it to a different angle the whistle stops. And after going through the car wash with the rack on my roof a dozen times or so the black paint began to have a bit of a rainbow sheen. Not sure if it is the bike rack or the soap my car wash uses.

Bike Rack Questions
- We have roof mounted bike racks that can fit into the top channels of the TracRac ladder racks like with the Thule ProRide XT part # TH598004 but there is no way to adapt the Swagman part # S64720 to fit the channels. It's mounting hardware is also not big enough to fit around the load bars either.
view full answer... - To mount your 2020 Orbea Orca OMX on your roof with a SeaSucker, you can use the Talon, part # 298-BT1004. This has a fork mount that can be replaced with the HUSKE 12-mm x 100-mm Thru-Axle, part # 298-BA14203, to fit your bike.
I've linked to video reviews of both of these parts for you to look at.
view full answer... - The picture of your bike's crossbar did not come through but since the Swagman Race Ready Roof bike rack # S64705 actually grabs the front wheel and does not touch the bike frame at all the frame design would not matter. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - I have a solution for you to transport a bike with your 2004 Ford Thunderbird but it will look different than a hitch mount rack because there unfortunately are no trailer hitches that fit your vehicle.
If you have a hardtop then I recommend the SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack # 298-BT1004 which mounts directly to your roof without the need of a roof rack. This system uses powerful vacuum cups that have a pull strength of 210 lbs each so it won't be going anywhere.
If you have...
view full answer... - As long as your cylinder has the code A76 on it then the Replacement Key for Inno Roof Racks, Bike Racks, and Cargo Boxes # INA76 that you referenced is compatible and will fit. If you have a different number let me know.
view full answer... - The Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum - Black and Polished Chrome # TR02 has tamper-resistant mounting hardware to attach it to the roof rack and then has an integrated cable lock to secure your rear wheel and frame to the rack. The security tool only has 5 sides as opposed to the basic Allen wrench with 6 sides. The only concern for theft is someone with the Trio Security key, but you can mitigate even that issue if you wrap the keyed cable lock around...
view full answer... - The Yakima FrontLoader part # Y02103 that you referenced installed on your 2019 Subaru Outback with factory crossbars will allow you to open your rear hatch as it can be reversed so that the track portion would stick forward of the front crossbar instead. Most likely it would still work facing forward but worst case scenario you could turn it around backwards.
view full answer... - I checked with Yakima and the FrontLoader part # Y02103 has a height of 9 inches when folded down and 32 inches when in the upright position.
view full answer... - Yes the Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH95JV will be a great fit for your 2020 Toyota RAV4. Thule does a great job making sure that it will fit a wide range of crossbar sizes. Really the only time I've ever ran into an issue with any of their roof rack accessories fitting is when the bars are very large like what you would see on an XTerra or Hummer.
I do recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450200 as this will give you lock cores to secure...
view full answer... - Yes, the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum, part # TH599000-FB, fits the old Thule square bars and the new Thule square bars.
I have included a video review of the UpRide below.
view full answer... - You're likely going to need thru axle adapters to allow you to mount bikes on the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier # RRRMCB03 since those appear to be missing in the photo. Thru axle sleeve adapters are available in a variety of sizes based off the size of the axles on your bike's front fork, so you'll want to confirm which sizes are on your bikes and then select the thru axle sleeve based off that. The XTray Pro originally came with15 mm x 100 mm thru axle...
view full answer... - Yes, the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103 will fit on your Yakima HD crossbars. We confirmed that with Yakima.
view full answer... - Yes, the channel attachment hardware of the Thule ProRide XT part # TH598004 that you referenced will fit the top channel of a Yakima Jetstream crossbar like you have.
view full answer... - For your 2009 Honda Fit Sport you're going to want to go with the SeaSucker Bomber roof mount bike rack since there are no trunk mount racks that fit the Sport model and you want to avoid installing a hitch.
The Bomber comes in a 2-bike version as the Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006 as well as a 3-bike version as the Bomber # 298-BB3008 and it attaches to your vehicle by using vacuum cups. A lot of people jump immediately to thinking that these are just big suction cups but there...
view full answer... - I do have a way for you to use a replacement cable lock on your Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103, but there unfortunately aren't any replacements that will fit on the arm like what is original to the bike rack.
If you'd like a cable lock that can be keyed alike with your current rack then you can use the Yakima # Y07233 and either get a single lock core (I'll need to know your current lock core number) or use the kit # Y07202. This is a 9' cable though so if you'd like something...
view full answer... - If the 20mm x 20mm t-bolts of the Thule UpRide Bike Rack # TH599000 won't fit your Prinsu roof rack, you can still use it because the UpRide also clamps around the crossbars.
It looks like the Prinsu uses 2" wide x 1" tall crossbars, so you can just use the clamps of the UpRide to secure it to your Prinsu rack.
view full answer... - I do have a solution for you, however, Yakima does not make a replacement cable lock for the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103. Instead I recommend going with RockyMounts Curly Combination Cable Lock Braided Steel - 3' Long # RKY3700. This does not require a key and will be programmed with a code. I have attached a demonstration video for this product.
view full answer... - To use your Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 on your 2010 Ford Focus Sedan I recommend going with a Yakima roof rack system. This will allow you to use the same lock cores so that you only need one key to secure all of your equipment.
I recommend using the JetStream, part # Y00425 for Black, along with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06119 for a great looking aerodynamic design. To use the same lock cores for all of your equipment you can use part...
view full answer... - Thank you for the information. I see that your Buddy Bike Sport is 43 lbs and has a wheel base of 58.1 inches.
For your 2016 Ram 2500, I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65063 which has a 500 lb vertical load capacity. The Curt # C31015 is only a fit for 4WD models and has the 500 lb vertical load. The Draw-Tite option does not require fascia trimming and will also give you better ground clearance.
This will allow you to...
view full answer... - The only bike rack solution we offer for a 2017 Honda Civic X hatchback will be a roof rack with a roof mounted bike rack. For a roof rack we have the Rhino Rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK485 which is a confirmed fit that will work well.
Then for a roof bike rack you'd want the Rhino Rack MountainTrail carrier part # RBC035 which will carry a bike by the front forks.
There are no trunk racks or hitches that fit your vehicle.

What our customers are saying:
"I ordered a bike rack for my trailer hitch. It is a great product, very reasonably priced on April 10th. I installed it on my car on the 14th in time for the weekend. How can you go wrong?"
