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 like the fork-mount design in general for roof mounted bike carriers, and this product gets the job done. (We have 3 attached to the SportRack SR1002, and this seems to work well for us.) However, the assembly instructions were not well written or well illustrated. For example, there is a short carriage bolt that one basically has to guess about where to install, and also you may have to insert some of the bolts backwards from the instructions so that they don't interfere with quick release that clamps onto the fork.

Great product, super easy to install, and sturdy. IF YOU ARE USING THIS FOR A MOUNTAIN BIKE, they tend to have wider hubs and/or thicker axles that WILL NOT WORK with the skewer and sleeve provided. You have to buy a rhino rack thru axle adapter which is an additional $XXX/per and a different size thru axle sleeve which is $XX/per. I just wish it came with a more universal fork hookup from the start or a cheaper option to change sizes.

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 own two. I took one off and lost one of the metal pins that attaches to the mounting strap and can't seem to find them for sale anywhere. Great rack and would give it 5 stars but the arm is sometimes very stiff and hard to move.

Kuat TRIO Roof Bike Racks Review - 2013 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2013 Subaru Impreza we're going to do a test fit on the Kuat Trio. This is a roof mounted fork clamp style bike rack in the black and chrome that I have here. Part number is TR02. We also have in a nice gun metal gray and orange finish. That part number is RU01. We've already got our Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System installed. We'll begin our test fit by just placing the roof rack up onto the roof line.
RockyMounts TieRod Roof Bike Racks Review - 2013 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2013 Subaru Impreza, we are going to do a test fit on the Rocky Mounts PitchFork. This is a roof-mounted, fork-clamp style, bike rack. Part Number on it is RKY1014.Now as you can see we have already got the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System installed, so we will just place our rack up here on the vehicle. We will remove the black cover located at the front and separate the two metal, rubber-coated, straps from the head. We will bring them around the under-side of our bar, center the head of the carrier onto the bar, and then we are going to fit these right back in. With those in the appropriate position we can now take our wrench and just start tightening that on down.
Thule Sprint Roof Bike Racks Review - 2013 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2013 Subaru Impreza were going to do a test fit on the Thule Sprint. This is a roof mounted fork clamp style bike rack. The part number on it is TH528. Now we already have our Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack system installed on our vehicle, so well begin our test fit by placing the rack right up onto the roof line of the vehicle. As you can see, we've got a black rubber coated metal strap. On the bottom of each of our clamps we want to be sure that those come around the lower side. We've got our front positioned where we want.
Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2013 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2013 Subaru Impreza, we're going to do a test fit on the Thule Paceline. This is a roof-mounted fork clamp-style bike rack. The part number on it is TH527. As you can see, we're already got our Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack system installed on the vehicle. We're going to begin our test fit just by placing the rack right up onto the roofline. We've got two levers that we want to lift, the front and rear. It's going to allow us once it's done, to separate the lower portion of our clamp from the upper. We'll then slide it rearward.
Rhino Rack MountainTrail Roof Bike Racks Review - 2013 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2013 Subaru Impreza, we're going to do a test fit on the Rhino Rack Mountain Trail. This is a roof mounted fork clamp style bike rack. The part number on it is RBC035. As you can see we've got our Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack system already installed on the Subaru. We'll begin our test fit by placing the rack onto the load bars, as we do this we want to hold down on the two black rubber coated metal straps allowing them to come around the underside, around to the front side of the bar here. We'll then lift up on the black cap, bring that off, bring our straps around, fit them into the indentations located here on the front side and then we're going to tighten down the single bolt located here in the middle. Great thing about this bolt is that it's going to tighten down both of our straps at the same time. So we've only got one thing to do here at the front to get the rack secured.
Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Rack Review - 2012 Subaru Impreza
Today on our 2012 Subaru Impreza, we'll be test fitting the Yakima Forklift Roof Top Bike Rack, part number Y02098. Now to begin our test fit, we'll simply place the bike rack on top of our crossbars; we'll bring the head of the bike rack around the front crossbar, and clamp it using the wing nut on the back of the head. We'll then move to the rear crossbar, where we'll put the clamp around it and secure it also using the wing nut. With both clamps tight, we'll slide the wing nut's top into position and put our skewer in. With our skewer loose, we'll make sure that our rear wheel strap is undone and out of the way, where we can then place the bike into the bike rack. We'll bring the fork into the skewer and clamp it down.
Subaru Impreza Bike Rack Questions
- I am not sure what the dimensions are for the factory crossbars on your 2019 Subaru Impreza but as long as they aren't bigger than 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 will fit.
When I spoke with my contact at Thule they weren't able to confirm the fit but the dimensions I gave you above are the size of the Thule aero-style crossbars which the ProRide XT was designed and tested to fit.
view full answer... - Yes, the front T-Bolts that come with the Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC036 will fit in the channels of the Yakima RailBar Crossbars # Y00448-0449 that you'll be installing on your 2019 Subaru Impreza.
view full answer... - I have a great option for you to transport your bike with your leased 2019 Subaru Impreza. I highly recommend taking a look at the SeaSucker Talon Roof Bike Rack # 298-BT1004.
This is a really unique system that will allow you to carry 1 bike on your Impreza's roof OR trunk. What sets this carrier apart from others for your application is that it will mount to the vehicle body using 4 vacuum cups that won't scratch or dent the car's surface. After removing the the rack there...
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Per RockyMounts, the SwitchHitter Roof Mounted Bike Carrier, part # RKY1270, is designed to fit all crossbars, so it will work well with the crossbars you have on your 2017 Imprezza.
This roof rack will work with bikes that have a quick-release front wheel and tires up to 3 inches wide.
view full answer... - The Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Gunmetal Gray # RU01 or Black and Polished Chrome # TR02 will require an adapter for a Boost 110 mm thru-axle fork. What you need is the Boost 110 Adapter for Kuat Trio Bike Rack - 110 mm x 15 mm Thru Axles # TRFA15x110 or Boost 110 Adapter for Kuat Trio Bike Rack - 110 mm x 20 mm Thru Axles # TRFA20x110.
I have added links to video reviews of both adapters and the Trio bike rack for you to check out.
view full answer... - I double checked with the Yakima fitguide and it shows the FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, part # Y02103 as a fit for the 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport 5-door with factory crossbars.
I would also recommend the Yakima Same Key System SKS Lock Cores, part # Y07202. This is a quantity of 2 locks (keyed alike) that can be used to lock your FrontLoader bike rack to the crossbars and lock your cable that holds the bike to the rack.
I spoke to my contact at Yakima about the hatch...
view full answer... - Carrying 3 bikes on the roof of your 2013 Subaru Impreza is definitely possible. All you would really need to check first is the roof capacity of your vehicle in the owners manual. You would need to be sure that the weight of the bikes and racks does not exceed this figure.
If you were wanting a wheel mounted bike rack the Yakima FrontLoader part # Y02103 is a confirmed fit that would work well. This rack weighs 18 lbs and is disc brake compatible.
For a fork mounted option...
view full answer... - I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2013 Subaru Impreza and starting on page 8-14 it states that if you have roof rails then the weight capacity of your roof is 150 lbs but if you have a roof with the moulding then your weight capacity is 176 lbs. I recommend confirming this in your copy of the owner's manual.
You will be able to use the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket # RRRMCB03 but since it weighs 48.5 lbs this will cut into the weight capacities that I just...
view full answer... - I spoke with my contact at Yakima and they said that the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, part # Y02103 will fit a 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport with the factory crossbars.
I would also recommend the Yakima Same Key System SKS Lock Cores, part # Y07202. This is a quantity of 2 locks (keyed alike) that can be used to lock your FrontLoader bike rack to the crossbars and lock your cable that holds the bike to the rack.
I am including a link to a video review...
view full answer... - Most likely it would fit, but to be 100 percent certain you will need to measure the dimensions of the crossbars on your 2011 Subaru Impreza.
The Swagman Roof Bike Rack # S64720 will fit crossbars that are up to 3-1/8 inches wide by 1-7/8 inches tall. If your bars are smaller than that this rack would fit.
Check out the review video I attached for this rack as well.
view full answer... - If you can install the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes # RKY1222 on the left side of the cargo box you'd have room since nearly all of it's width is the arm that swings out to the left.
view full answer... - There is an adapter for your Thule Big Mouth bike rack that will allow it to mount to aero crossbars on your 2008 Subaru Impreza, so long as those crossbars have top channels to utilize T-bolts. If your Impreza does have that type of crossbar, the correct adapter for your Thule Big Mouth is the following:
- Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers # Xadapt2
This would be the only option to mount the Big Mouth to aero crossbars as there...
view full answer... - We have a roof basket that allows a bike rack to be installed on it, the Yakima MegaWarrior part # Y07080, but we do not have a way to do the same thing with the Rola part # 59504 that you mentioned. The Yakima HighRoad, part # Y02114 can attach to the front bar of the basket as if it's a front crossbar and the rear attaches to the back of the basket.
You could also take a look at the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier, part # RRRMCB03.
I attached a picture...
view full answer... - Don't worry, I can help you pick out the best mounting option for your roof bike rack on your 2007 Subaru Impreza.
The best and most popular bike mounting options for avid riders is the fork mounted bike rack like the Yakima ForkLift # Y02098. That is if you have a removable front skewered wheel. You will often see a Wheel Fork transporting the removed wheel. This is most popular because it provides a secure connection that doesn't make contact with the frame.
Next best...
view full answer... - We have many different roof rack options for you to choose from for your 2006 Subaru Impreza. I have attached a link to all of the complete roof racks that we carry for your vehicle.
The roof rack that I would recommend for you is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack. This roof rack consists of the WingBars, # TH711200 or # TH711220, which are the quietest load bars on the market, the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, # TH480R, and the Fit Kit, # THKIT1210.
Two bike racks that I would...
view full answer... - I spoke to my contact at Swagman and the mounting brackets of the Swagman Enforcer part # S64704 that secure it to crossbars are both adjustable.
Both the front and rear brackets can move forward and back to accommodate various crossbar spreads.
view full answer... - Yes! The Yakima ForkLift # Y02098 will fit your 2002 Impreza WRX 5 door that has factory crossbars. ForkLift is the first Yakima fork-mount bike carrier that attaches to a factory, round and square roof-rack crossbars.
The rear hatch of your Subaru Impreza hatchback will open to the maximum without interfering with the Yakima ForkLift roof mounted bike carrier # Y02098.
I have included a FAQ link and installation video for you as well.
view full answer... - The mounting hardware on the Swagman roof mount bike rack # S64720 will fit on crossbars that are up to 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall. If your Subaru does not have crossbars that run side to side you will need to add them first, see link.
Putting 3 of these racks on the roof and 3 bikes is possible but it could be a tight fit, especially if all three bikes are the same size and the handle bars would touch (which would require further spacing of the bike racks).
What...
view full answer... - I spoke with my contact at Swagman, who tells me that the clamp on the Swagman # S64720 Rooftop Bike Carrier will accommodate round bike frame downtubes up to 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Using this rack on oval downtubes is not recommended.
