Buying Yakima King Cobra Rooftop Upright Bike Rack


Great rack. Easy to put your bike on and take off. The only hitch is that you have to be tall enough to put your bike on the rack and have enough body strength to life your bike onto the rack. With a light weight road bike, it is very fast. With a heavier mountain bike, you have to make sure you are very stable before trying to lift and place the bike on the roof. I use a small kid stool, about 1.5 foot high. This seems to do the trick.

Please note that your gas mileage will suffer. My Civic Hybrid went from 43 mpg to 30 mpg with 2 bikes on the roof. Also note that you will not get into most parking garages. Otherwise, it is a great product and gets the bike out of the way. Just remember that the bikes are on the roof before you enter into a garage.Get more detail about Yakima King Cobra Rooftop Upright Bike Rack.
