 "SportRack ABR622 fork mount" 2009-10-04
By C. Dandrea (California)
We chose this roof mount bike rack because it mounts on almost any rack system, even factory racks with wide oval crossbars. The quality is pretty good for the price, and it has survived a 2800 mile road trip. It takes some time to assemble and install, but mounting the bikes is easy, and it adjusts quickly to various frame sizes. The wheel track comes in two pieces and is not as ridgid as the higher priced racks, but once mounted on the car it seems strong enough. All the hardware is plated steel, so expect some rust unless you keep it in the garage. The only thing we don't like is the nylon web strap that holds the back wheel down. It is hard to tighten and remove, and could blow off when there is no bike attached to the rack. The Thule and Yakima have much better captive ratchet straps for the rear wheel, it is almost worth the the price difference for that alone. I may try to fit some of those ratchet straps on this rack. The cap at the back end of the track is only a pressure fit and prone to falling off. I put a screw through the cap on ours, but you could also glue or tape it on.

 "Good inexpensive option" 2008-12-22
By G. Murray (Utah, USA)
This product is probably the best low-cost option. The hardware that comes with it to attach it to your mounting bar could be better. It comes with twist knobs, and was probably a little short for my BMW roof rack. I used the stock mounting for a while, then replaced it with some aluminum bar that fit in the channel of my roof rack. Now it's great! The front fork attachment is sturdy and the back attachment is adequate. It would be nice to replace the back buckle with a velcro strap, but it works. I've driven over 1000 miles on the freeway with my bike on this rack (after making the new mounting system) and it worked very well. For long trips you'll probably want to cover the underside of the front with duct tape to keep the honeycomb structure from whistling in the wind above 65MPH.

 "A worthy compromise" 2008-07-28
By Mark Cicero (Norfolk VA)
This rack is certainly not as feature-laden as racks nearly twice its price. It's made in Asia, and the instructions require flexible interpretation. All that being said, it does this job, is inexpensive, and safely got my bike to its destination 360 miles away. If you go with this, I'd recommend getting a cable or chain lock so you can secure your bike to the roof rack.

 "Unit does the job" 2008-05-04
By N. Cottrell (Philadelphia, PA)
I question the universality of this product as I had to be a tad creative to get it to work on my Jetta. The Direction left a good amount to imagination, but in the end it appears I have something that will work with my bike. I do question the efficacy of the design for use with a road bike as this unit appears and from some description to work best with a mountain bike. However, at the end of the day it will securely hold my Fuji to the roof.

 "Nice carrier when it's not broken" 2009-07-16
By Anonymous
I had Steelheads many years ago and when I needed a rack for my new car I decided to get another set. I leave the rack on my car for extended periods and need the extra security that this mount offers. Unfortunately, I discovered that Yakima does not sell replacement parts for the clamping head. Over time, exposure to the sun has caused the red plastic levers to crumble to pieces, and Yakima Customer Service told me that I would have to buy an entire replacement head which is about half the cost of a new mount. How eco-friendly is that? Luckily, it can be fixed with a stainless worm screw hose clamp threaded through the slot and around the head to keep the halves together. It doesn't look as nice but it's probably stronger than the original design. It would get 5 stars if Yakima provided service parts for the heads.

 "Beware Trek owners-get the Viper" 2008-08-10
By Don Jr (Rochester, NY USA)
Got this rack for my girlfriends Trek 7300. The right fork bottoms out on the Steelhead before it reaches the top of the fork cut out. The fork cut out (or whatever it's called where the front wheel mounts to the fork)is 1 inch deep on the Trek 7300. Now here's the kicker. I still used it and it worked OK. We tried the Copperhead and that wouldn't work at all on her bike. If I had a 2008 or newer Trek, I wouldn't bother with any Yakima rack lower end than the Viper. Since I've had the Viper, Steelhead, and Copperhead, I know that the Viper is the only one of the three that works for her 2008 Trek 7300.

 "Tandem Rack" 2008-10-13
By Ken Sturrock
This rack works well. Essentially:



1.) the fork holder swings out to the side of the vehicle (can be set up to go either way: right or left).



2.) You lift the front of the tandem up and place the fork in the skewer and then clamp the skewer down.



3.) You then lift the rest of the tandem up and place the boom tube in the cradle. At the same time, the arm swings back in line with the rack.



4.) You tighten the arm locking bolt down and attach the straps that go over the boom tube and lock down in the holder.



I routinely load and unload the tandem by myself using this rack - but I prefer to have help. I am not particularly strong, but I am tall. The user has to lift the bicycle up and on to the boom tube holder while simultaneously pulling the front arm straight. If the sidewinder is mounted on the passenger side of the vehicle - you will also have to lift the tandem high enough so that the chain clears the boom tube cradle as well. I'm 6'1" and stand in the rear door sill.



Some people think that the Tandem looks ungainly perched up so high - but the sidewinder's design is very versatile and still lets you open the hatch (if you have one) a little bit when the bicycle is in place. It doesn't stick out to the back at all with no bicycle in place.



The only problem we've had with it is one of the boom tube "buckles" for the strap fell off somewhere - but Yakima shipped us a replacement immediately for free. I have seen other Sidewinders with the same missing buckle - so I wouldn't suggest that you always leave the sidewinder on the car, unless you somehow tie the buckles on to the cradle with a bungee cord or some such.



We use our Sidewinder on top of our '06 Prius and it sure makes transporting the tandem a lot easier. The rack is pretty expensive - but for us it was well worth it.

 "Very Sturdy, even at 80+ MPH" 2009-10-07
By Chiznarles (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I have this mounted on my 2008 Subaru Impreza STI with OEM Factory bars and the fit is perfect. I had a problem with other racks that were made for either round or square bars. My OEM bars are large and oval-shaped, and this rack had no problems fitting on. The clamps are very sturdy.



I took my mountain bike on a 5 hour drive to Mammoth Mountain from Los Angeles, even hitting speeds of 80+. The rack held up very well. I prefer the fork mounted design of this rack because it seems like a more secure way to mount the bike. I only wish it came with a separate front wheel holder so I didn't have to throw the front wheel in my trunk.

 "Time to Go Bike" 2009-09-20
By Brian Bills (Fort Collins, CO)
Why spend more money for those adaptors and other stuff that add to the price. If you already have a factory roof rack, you are ready to bike. This attached perfectly to my factory roof rack (2000 toyota 4runner) and holds strong with all of its tightening latches. The best thing is that my bro can use it with his car because it adapts to most factory roof racks. So why spend 300+ bucks to get the bike rack, adapter, and locks when all you need is fork mount, easy install roof rack. Could not find the lock that comes with this one (though I know it is capable of a lock) but honestly with how fast and easy it is to remove the rack, there is no need to lock it to your roof, just throw it in the back. Love it, and I would buy it again and again

 "Nice product for use on OEM rack - Horrible warranty experience" 2009-07-18
By S. Morris (Avon, Ohio USA)
I purchased two of these racks for use on the cross bars that come stock on the Subaru Outback (2008 XT Limited in my case.) They assembled relatively easily, but took some time to get the multi-position clamps just right. One position was too tall, so I tried the next, which was too low. Back to the first and adjust a little more. Not hard, just a little time consuming. I had to mount the front crossbar as far forward as possible to avoid the rear of the tray from hitting the wagon's door when open. The tire clears about 1/4"



The rack is easy to use, although since the crossbar as some curve to it, the two bikes tilt out a little bit. The crossbars are plenty secure enough with two 25# bikes on top.



The only problem I had, and which cost this review three stars, was Amazon and Yakima's customer service. The racks are well made, but sometimes parts aren't up to snuff. The second time I used the rack, one of the red plastic covers for the locking skewer came out. It turns out that the die cast zinc cover has a cast in rivet to retain the plastic cover, and the flared end on the rivet broke off, allowing the cover to fall out. This shouldn't be a safety concern, according to the Yakima service person, but it does render the locking mechanism useless. The skewer can be locked, but without the cover, anyone can get to the nut with a pair of pliers and remove the bike.



Yakima doesn't handle warranty issues on products that are sold through Amazon. Yakima has a lifetime warranty, but as an Amazon customer, I don't get to enjoy that warranty. Meanwhile, Amazon does not handle any warranty service for Yakima parts. If I want a new skewer, I have to send my entire roof rack back and order another one.



A really nice product, but one that yields a frustrated customer that won't recommend purchasing Yakima products through Amazon unless you want to give up your warranty.



July 30, 2009: A follow-up to the above review. Amazon stepped up and offered a partial refund in lieu of not having replacement parts. This will allow me to buy a replacement skewer, and end up with what I purchased to begin with. Thanks. Amazon! I'm bumping the rating up from two to three stars. Still a nice product, but buying through Amazon still forfeits Yakima's lifetime warranty. If you have problems, don't tell 'em you got it here!

 "Worth the extra dough..." 2009-02-19
By Michael Couto (New Bedford, MA USA)
I have an older Peloton (517) but bought two of the Echelon (518) and really enjoy the difference in quality and ease of use. The head is heavy and sturdy and the locks are easier to reach. Actually, everything else (the tire tray) is about the same as the Peloton - it is the head and the mounting bracket that make them different. The bracket is also extremly solid, securing the carrier completely across the base of the head. The Peloton has more of a U-bolt type of bracket and it always makes me feel as if the bike could wobble a bit at high speed.

I am a faithful Prime member and truly buy most everything from Amazon, including expensive cameras and tools. But for some reason I actually had a couple of returns with this product. I had ordered another Peloton first, but it came with a bolt that was not threaded properly, so I returned it and got an Echelon but it had scratches on the tray, so I returned that also and got the two Echelons at East Providence Cycle, my local bike shop.

Let me also add that no store is more accomodating with returns than Amazon. I am always confident in my purchases that they will be stressfree that way.

 "Find something else." 2008-09-16
By Kevin McCulloch (Denver, CO)
I owned this product for about a year. From the beginning the locking mechanism on it felt a little odd. It never quite fit right. Everything else about it seemed pretty nice. As I was driving down the hightway a heard a rattle on my roof and stopped to realize the lock had fallen out of the rack and onto the highway. A friend who worked in a Ski shop said he had never heard of this before and later discovered that Thule issued a notice that they were having problems with the rack specific to the locks. However, because it was only a security issue and not a safety issue it would not be an official "recall". It took forever for me to find someone to return the rack locally and get a refund. So I guess as long as your okay with someone stealing your bike and losing your expensive Thule locks on the highway then Thule is happy to have you buy their products.

 "Gets the job done" 2008-09-18
By D. Whiting
This product works great for me. It fits my car and bike just fine with my Yakima rack at 32" bar spacing. I've used it with two different road bikes (one is a 'normal' size, one a smaller size) and it worked great for both.



I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting out of this product. I wouldn't call any of the Yakima rack products extremely secure. If someone wanted to take my rack, they could pry the clips out and walk off with it. Also, all the rack bike mounts I've seen use the tension between the fork and the skewer to secure the bike. Apply enough force and you can probably pull it out of the mount. I'm never going to leave the bike on my car anyways, so it's moot.



It works great and the price is right. As long as your bar spacing is in the acceptable range, you're fine.

Customer Buzz
 "Poor security, measure bike and vehicle before buying" 2007-12-12
By Anonymous
Before buying this mount, measure the distance between your bike's fork dropouts to the rear wheel. Then look at the recommended crossbar spacing for your vehicle in the Yakima Q Clip instruction booklet. If the measurements are not similar (ie. rear wheel not centered over the rear crossbar, short roofline and long wheelbase bike), then the rear wheel will hang far behind the rear crossbar and there's a good chance that the rear towers will shift forward when transporting your bike. This can result in roof damage from the shifting clips and the bike's rear wheel contacting and scratching the roof.



The Boa is Yakima's most economical rooftop bike mount and it shows. If you live in a low crime neighborhood and remove your bike and rack when you are away from your car, this mount will probably work just fine for you. Or if you absolutely need to minimize the footprint of the rack when it's off your vehicle.



The Boa pod is mostly made of glass-filled polymer. There is a flimsy plastic cover that is secured by the skewer and covers the heads of the 3 hex mounting bolts. Unfortunately, even when locked, this cover can easily be pried and cracked open by hand revealing the 3 bolt heads. I complained and Yakima responded that they only provide theft deterrence and cannot guarantee against theft. This does not even approach deterrence.



The Boa mount comes with Yakima's universal locking skewer with a polymer lever, stainless rod, and round steel nut. If the skewer is closed and locked but the handle is in the wrong orientation and there's insufficient tension, then it's a simple matter to rotate the handle counterclockwise to loosen the nut and steal your bike. The lever and cam are plastic and will deform and wear with use. When no bike is loaded, the only way to secure the mount is to tighten the nut further and then close and lock the skewer. However, adjusting the nut defeats the purpose of providing a long-throw skewer.



Adding a long tray converts the mount into a Copperhead mount. However, given the security concerns, I returned this mount and purchased a Yakima Steelhead mount instead. The Steelhead has a clamshell clamping design and is mostly metal. It comes with a stainless metal skewer that has a special locking pin and e-clip on the nut. When the skewer is locked, the clamshell cannot open and the skewer nut cannot be removed even if it is not tightened and tensioned against the mount body. As with the Boa, make sure that the skewer lever rests against the crossbar when locked so that it can only be turned clockwise tightening (and not loosening) the nut.



If you don't want to spend much more than the cost of the Boa but want to use your SKS lock cores, consider purchasing a Steelhead body (new or used) and a Rocky Mounts Lariat tray. You will need to drill a hole in the tray to mount the Yakima head. The Rocky Mounts crossbar mount is compatible with Yakima's round bars and comes with all hardware, and their wheel strap is also less expensive than Yakima's.



If you are using or considering Yakima Q Towers, I have a separate review of that product on Amazon.

 "Cleverly engineered" 2009-06-22
By Andrew Lorente
First off-- bikes go on and off in a snap. The very first time I used this rack, it probably took me less than a minute. One of the really nice features is the design of the quick-release skewer. The cam mechanism is built into the front of the tray. This has two advantages:

- The long lever means you can also have a lot of travel in the clamp. The skewer goes from being clamped down to being wide enough to remove the fork, even with "lawyer nipples," just by moving the lever. That means no fiddling with the bolt tension every time you want to put the bike on the rack--just drop it in and clamp it.

- The same lock core that locks the bike to the carrier, locks the carrier to the loadbar. Turn one key and the whole assembly is secured.



The rest of the Peloton gives a similar impression of attentive design. The strap that holds the rear wheel down is easy to attach and easy to release. I would say the only downside is the somewhat 1990s-Volvo aesthetics.
