Review: Excellent Roof Top Bike Rack - Ordered this and needed it right away. Emailed the company shipping the product that I needed the rack as quickly as possible as the delivery window indicated on desertcart extended from just before my departure to just after. They emailed me back immediately (to my great surprise) and said they would ship the rack out that same day. I received the rack ONE DAY later! Unbelievable customer service. I would buy from these guys again in a heart beat. Now on to the rack. Needed a rooftop rack and did not want to spend a fortune. Looked at the 3 most popular manufacturers of rooftop racks and read about a thousand reviews of the products. I went with what I thought looked like the easiest and most economical choice. Read the instructions and had the rack mounted on top of my Hyundai Santa Fe in about 10 min. Since then I have had the rack off and on my car with about 5 min for placement on the car and about 2 min for removal. Putting the bike in the rack is extremely quick and easy. Seat the bike in rack cradle turn large screw to secure the front tire then cinch down the back tire strap. Hardest part is getting bike on the roof of the car. This goes for any rack if you have a tall car (SUV) like we do. Once up on the roof it is a complete breeze. The rack feels solid, has a nice finish to it, and is easy to use. What more can I ask? The bike felt solid in the rack and had little play when I manually tried to rock it. I traveled 3 hours on highway and back roads (plenty of bumps) each way for my trip and more while at the destination without any issue at all. This is a terrific product and I highly recommend it. DO NOT LET OTHER BAD REVIEWS SCARE YOU OFF! One major complaint about this rack in the reviews I read is that it does not fit on all cars because the rack extends too far back and therefore interferes with opening the back hatch of the car. This is non-sense. If such a scenario occurs (as did with my Santa Fe) just mount the rack so that the front of the bike faces the back of the car. Problem solved! The other complaint I read about in the reviews was of a whistling noise with both the rack and a bike on the car. I heard no such noise despite listening for it. My only complaint about this product is that it does not come with the lock system installed. You have to buy the locks separately which cost $35 - $50. I have tried hard to find them for less without luck. You need the magic key (the one that allows you to install and remove the locks), the keys to open and close the lock, and 2 locks to have the complete set for this rack. One locks the rack to the roof and the other locks the bike to the rack. Some discount sites and Ebay sell just the locks or just the lock and keys and not the magic key. Be careful of what you buy otherwise might not have what is needed for the lock system to work. As for me, I don't live in an area where I need the locks and was traveling to a place where locks were not necessary so I did not buy them. Maybe in the future if I find I really need them. I rarely use the locking system on my Thule 3 bike rack I use on the back of my car for the other three bikes we travel with. Review: Awesome, easy, safe - What a great product, as intended. I received it very fast, even though I live in a remote location. Installation was very simple (make sure to read the instructions for a few tips and tricks about the rear clamp). I took it on a test drive, with my MTB on top for a 25hours trip, and it held like squashed mosquito on your windshield. I recommend this product if you don’t have a hitch. Be mindful of increased gas mileage, but that was expected. ## Features - Carry almost any type of bike to your next ride (including disc brakes, thru-axles and full suspension); Fits 20" to 27.5” wheels with tires up to 3” width and 29” wheels with tires up to 2.7” width - Load your bike fully assembled with the front wheel on (some fenders may need to be removed); This upright mount holds your bike as your secure it for easy loading - Requires a roof rack with a crossbar spread between 16" and 48"; Fits YAKIMA round, square, factory or aerodynamic crossbars; Fully assembled out of the box and easy, tool-free installation - Holds your bike by the front and back wheel for zero frame contact; A great option for carbon fiber bikes and custom paint jobs; Aerodynamic design won’t hold you back - Want more peace of mind?
