• SLEEK DESIGN: The minimalistic & sleek design looks great on any vehicle. It is made from sturdy plastic and steel and only weighs 5Ibs!
• WORRY FREE SECURITY: With tie down straps for wheels & locking feature included you will have peace of mind knowing your bike is secured to the rack whether on the road or parked.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you fit 5 next to each other on a Toyota Sienna roof
Answer:	It is compatible. To install, you will also need Yakima Landing Pad 22 and Yakima crossbars. See yakimatech.com for fit info for your vehicle.
Question:	Will this fit a 2009 Subaru Outtback
Answer:	No, these probably won't work. SkyLine towers are meant to attach to custom track and fixed point (and select vehicle fixed-point) roof mounts. We'd need your complete vehicle year/model in order to confirm the Yakima fit.
Question:	My mountain bike tires are 27.5s would this work
Answer:	Hi, No, the SkyLine towers do not come with crossbar mounting hardware. The crossbars will come with the hardware. Excelsior!
Question:	How do these attach to the existing roof rack? Do they come with hardware for this
Answer:	The towers require ‘landing pads’ to adapt to your fixed mounting points.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this fit a 2020 GLE
Answer:	I would say No i have two on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and the handlebars touch plus i think that 5 would be over the crossbars weight capacity. 3 max if you alternate two facing foward and one facing back in the middle. hope this helps
Question:	Is it possible to purchase replacement straps separately
Answer:	should no problem, i have a 2012 subaru, so long as the 2009 has the cross bars you're good.
Question:	Will this fit on my 2007 toyota rav4 sport factory roof rack? ( i have a rhino-rack roof carrier that works well
Answer:	Tire diameter is not the limiting factor for use of this product. The length between you from and back wheel hubs (or where the front and back tires touch the ground) must be less than 54” to fit on the track. Generally, your down tube must be less than 22” (center of tube - where down tube fits into the mandibles/clamp) from the front roof rack cross bar. Tire track and clamp are very adjustable and accommodating for a variety of bike sizes.
Question:	Will this mount work on a fat tire bike
Answer:	Yes they come with the brackets and hardware. I have factory crossbars that are closer the the top of the car so installation was a bit tricky due to lack of space. If you have aftermarket crossbars that are higher it would be much easier. I haven't taken mine off. Just leaving them on the roof year round.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this scar up the crossbars at all
Answer:	Yes. I ordered two of these and my husband and I have carried both our bikes at the same time. It will be more crowded on the Impreza, but it should still fit comfortably.
Question:	I'm new to bike racks -- how many of these can you fit on a toyota rav 4 (small suv). do you think you can fit three? thanks in advance
Answer:	The product is not worth it , front and rear cap won’t stay on place. I never buy or recommend this product.
Question:	one wheel has to be removed to install
Answer:	Possibly/probably, because Crosstrek and Impreza are same body, however the model year might change the fit. Best to check with google and model year and part #
Question:	Will it work on factory cross bars for a Subaru CrossTrek
Answer:	I have a 2011 Outback and my daughter has a 2017 Cross Trek.. I have no doubt it will, the Thule has slideable clamps to receive the Subaru rack crossbars.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit 4" tire? Yakima website says so, but not here in the specifications
Answer:	I am sorry, I do not see the chart. Try to find out from the manufacture or seller of your kayak what size you need. Also, I purchased different sizes to see what will work for a kayak but our kayak does not work with this type so go to the seller or brand web site of the kayak you have to see what size & what type you need. Hope this info helps you.
Question:	what do I need to make this mount onto Whispbar Rail Bars with t-channels
Answer:	I don't know the size of those, because i use the bigger blue scupper stoppers. Go to the Ocean Kayak website itself. It is difficult to find ( navigate) , but their is a Specification Sheet that gives the diameters. If you can't find it, call the 800 number for them, so they can direct you to it .I finally stumbled on it myslef
Question:	What keeps the wheel hoop secure when a bike is not attached? I don't want to take the rack off when I am not carrying a bike
Answer:	search for: "oce_productmanual_scupper_size_chart.pdf"
Question:	Whats the difference betwen this and the frontloader
Answer:	What size do I need for my Ocean Kayak Ambush model

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it fit a fat bike

Answer:	The rack will fit a wide variety of cars. If your crossbars are adjustable (move forward and backward) you should not have any problems.
Question:	Hello, i have already mountaintrail bike carrier, and my problem is the locking skewer at the front. how i can buy only this part

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this rack accommodate a Fat Bike with 4.5" wide tires. Do I need to purchase the cross braces from Yakima or VW and Chevy as we have a VW TiguanR

Question:	Will it fit a Prius V
Answer:	The ForkLift is compatible with the Prius V with a base rack (Crossbar) system installed. There are no known issues that would prevent installation. Please refer to rack manufacturer specifications for weight load/carrying capacity restrictions.
Question:	How many SKS lock cores will I need for this rack
Answer:	Terri,The Front loader will require 2 locks for each bike. 1 will lock the bike to the rack, the other will lock the rack to the vehicle.Thanks,RAck Attack
Question:	Can you install the frontloader and the fairing together at the same time
Answer:	not sure what you mean. the unit is one piece which easily clamps to the cross bars. Then very easy to secure the bike. I use this carrier to get a fourth bike on my car (3 on a Thule back rack) and one on top. Works great. If the bike is heavy can be a bit of a bear to get it up on the roof by yourself but otherwise an easy deal. As someone else mentioned, I have to install it "backwards to get proper clearance from the back hatch.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this mount on oem roof bars for a 2010 honda crv
Answer:	Depending on your oem bars, but typically no, most oem bars are somewhat flat. The mounting hardware sold with wheel holder will only fit a standard square or round load bars.Check the Thule web site, there may be an adapter kit available to use with oem bars
Question:	Will this fit a fat bike (26x4" or 26x5") and/or 29+ wheel? Can the arms be bent out to accommodate 135mm spacing
Answer:	John, sorry for late response. Yes on the 26 in, but you will be pushing it on the 29 in wheel (it will fit but will not slide down the slots which allows for secure transport in case you don't tighten the skewers enough). As far as the width goes, the bars tapper down towards the base to about 3.25 in so 4 in wide tires are just not going to fit with wheel sizes 26-29 in. Michael
Question:	Will this fit 15 mm thru axles
Answer:	No, this doesn't work with thru axles.
Question:	Has anyone successfully installed/used these with whispbars? I see that they work with aeroblades, which are slightly less wide. thanks
Answer:	I have 2 of thse installed in thule square bars with zero problems so far, but thats the only bars I have these tried on. I believe that because of the configuration to install them should work on any kind of bar.

User questions & answers

Question:	Locking skewer for thru axle fork? The regular one is too short
Answer:	This would include a mounting bracket . You would need to purchase the screws for your proper installation, drywall, brick ect
Question:	Does sks lock work with thru axle
Answer:	Either an 1/8” metal drill bit, or use a nail and hammer. It’s sheet metal, so it’s not terribly thick.
Question:	Will this fit factory crossbars that dont adjust on 2013dodge grand caravan
Answer:	I don't have them anymore but it's basically a piece of wood that looks almost like quarter round only thicker that you screw to the wall. You then hang the beam on it. Very easy & a beautiful piece. Also sturdy.
Question:	Will this fit my 2004 Chevy Suburban factory crossbars? Thanks
Answer:	The flat side is on the bottom and the angled side is on the top.
