Description
A first for Yakima?a fork-mount bike rack that attaches directly to most factory crossbars right out of the box! Meet the the Yakima ForkLift?.



* Rack installs quickly and easily, and it fits round, square and most factory crossbars

* Rack is designed to accommodate most bike forks with disc brakes

* Sliding wheel tray makes positioning the rear wheel simple

* Lockable skewer has an integrated adjustment knob for simple 1-handed operation; SKS lock cores are sold separately

* Sleek design and nice finish look great on your vehicle

Pros: Not to inexpensive.
Easy to set up - No tools required.
Secures bikes well.

Cons: Locks must be purchased separately.
Rear wheel straps will fly right off if you forget to fasten them when rack is empty.
Rails are long - Fine for say - a subaru outback, but likely too long for anything shorter with a hatch.

Recommendation: A sturdy, fairly inexpensive rack great for those with factor crossbars.

Pros: No tools required for installation

Cons: Not Universal fit as claimed by manufacturer. Bike rails extend too far & will damage rear hatch when opened.

Recommendation: Not recommended for vehicles with a rear hatch.

Pros: Easy to install (no tools) and no need to buy anything else. Holds bikes securely and seems to be well constructed.

Cons: Fork clamp rests at an awkward angle due to the placement of my vehicle crossbars. Can be wobbly until you find the right setting and crank it down TIGHT.

Recommendation: If you have a factory roof rack system, get this bike tray - it's inexpensive compared to others and it just works. I'm using mine on a Subaru with aero bars and it's great.
