Pros
Holds bikes, lasted 10+ years still going. Service is great.
Cons
Does not stay black, replacement keys are expensive.
Review
I have the discontinued rack. You do not need to remove the front wheel so it is faster and if your bike is muddy, cleaner.

Pros
Quick install
Easy to Mount Bike
Affordable
Aero Version comes with clips to mount to just about anything
Cons
Does not lock to car
Review
Easy to remove from the car rack if you are going to carry big stuff on your rack like canoes or plywood. 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.

Review
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.
