Description

Birds of prey know that the best meals are the ones that don’t take a lot of energy to capture. Likewise, smart cyclists know that some of the best roof mount bike racks are the one’s that cost the least, like the Yakima Raptor Bike Rack. Engineered for incredible stability and durability, the Yakima Raptor provides solid bike transportation while still being soft on your wallet.

The secret behind the Yakima Raptor Bike Rack’s stability is its powerful claw. It grabs hold of your downtube and keeps your 2-wheeler from swaying around. Plus, the ratcheting wheel straps lock your bike into the cradle to stop it from flying away at high speeds.

Yakima builds your Raptor Bike Rack from rugged bomber steel to ensure lasting dependability. Because you don’t have to remove your wheel, it works perfectly with disc brakes and thru axles. Plus, Yakima backs your Raptor Bike Rack with a Lifetime Warranty.

I am very happy with the Yakima Raptor Bike rack. Easy to install the rack and real quick to get the bike up and locked in place. My only complaint would be that I purchased the bike rack which did not have a locking mechanism included - so I have to use my bike lock to secure my bike to the roof rack if I leave it unattended for long.

Worth the money for not having to take off the front tire.

the only problem i have with this rack is this, the manual says "not for carbon frames", I have both, carbon and non. so going to call yakima to figure out if that's just a silly warning or a real deal.
