Hi, if I buy the Toyota cross bars for my 2021 Prius Prime Limited, which bike attachment would I use?

You will want a roof rack mounted bike rack for your 2021 Prius Prime. The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 is a great option for you if you want something relatively quick and easy to use.

The FrontLoader # Y02103 is a wheel mount bike carrier which means it will carry your bike as is without having to take the wheels off. Some like this option so that they don't have to deal with storing their wheel separately in their trunk or back seats. I recommend the FrontLoader over the very similar Yakima HighRoad # Y02114 simply due to how the FrontLoader is lighter. I also drive a Prius and enjoy playing the mpg game with different roof accessories. Either bike rack will clamp onto your factory Toyota crossbars.

These Yakima bike racks do not come with lock cores though, so remember to pick up the SKS lock cores # Y07202 separately.
