Yakima Raptor Reviews

Description:
You really can afford a totally sweet upright bike mount without totally depleting your budget. That means you’ll have plenty of cash left over for life’s other necessities – like inner tubes, cheap brewskis and ramen noodles.
* Fits 1” to 3” diameter downtubes (most shapes and frame materials)
* Secures wheels with ratcheting wheel straps
* No problem handling

Great as an extra or add on tray. The "Areo" version of this rack is a few bucks more, but it comes with the Yakima "mighty mounts" so it will fit factory rack cars. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by PghDragonMan   on August 25, 2008   Pros Easy To Attach To Car, Easy To Secure Bike Cons Stiff Wheel Tiedown Verdict Affordable bike carrier for the Yakima lineup. Fits many styles of frame design and easily adjustable for different sizes. If your bike does not have quick release front wheels, or you have a disc brake that limits the number of carriers you can choose from, this is a good alternative. Recommended for: Value seekers
