Yakima HighRoad: Our Review of the Ultimate Roof Bike Carrier

We’ve tested dozens of bike racks over the years, but the Yakima HighRoad has genuinely impressed us with its thoughtful design and rock-solid performance. This roof-mounted carrier securely holds bikes by the front wheel, eliminating any frame contact that might damage your precious carbon fiber or custom paint job.

What we particularly love is how the low-profile tray and universal mounting hardware make installation straightforward on virtually any crossbar system. During our road tests, even at highway speeds, the HighRoad kept our bikes remarkably stable with minimal wind noise compared to competitors.

The tool-free adjustment system accommodates tires up to 4 inches wide and wheels from 26 to 29 inches, making it versatile enough for most bikes in our collection. While it’s not the cheapest option available, the security, ease of use, and durability make it well worth the investment for serious cyclists.

Our Road Test: ROCKBROS Suction Cup Bike Rack Delivers

We recently took the ROCKBROS Suction Cup Bike Rack on a weekend cycling getaway, and we’re genuinely impressed with its performance. The aluminum alloy construction strikes a perfect balance between durability and lightweight design, making installation remarkably straightforward. We simply secured the suction cups to our car’s roof, and they maintained a rock-solid grip throughout our 200-mile journey.

What particularly caught our attention was the quick-release mechanism, allowing us to mount and dismount our bike in under a minute – a welcome feature when you’re eager to hit the trails. The rack accommodates one bicycle comfortably, and we experienced no wobbling or shifting, even on winding mountain roads.

For cyclists seeking a versatile, non-permanent mounting solution that doesn’t require roof rails, we found the ROCKBROS to be an excellent investment that delivers on its promises.

We Tested the Thule Epos 2: A Game-Changer for Bike Transport

After three weeks of rigorous testing, we can confidently say the Thule Epos 2 has revolutionized how we transport our bikes. This towbar-mounted bike rack impressed us with its tool-free installation-we had it mounted and ready in under 10 minutes. The automatic positioning system adjusted perfectly to our different bike frames, from road bikes to e-bikes, without any frame contact.

What really stood out was the tilt function: even with four bikes loaded, we could access our trunk with just one foot movement. The integrated wheels made storage surprisingly easy, as we could roll it into our garage rather than awkwardly carrying it.

At $899, it’s certainly an investment, but considering the build quality and thoughtful features, we believe serious cyclists will find tremendous value here. Our testing confirmed: the Epos 2 truly delivers on Thule’s reputation for quality.
