Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Carrier for Factory Roof Rack on 2020 Toyota Prius Prime

Question:

Hi There, Im having trouble sorting out which bike carriers will fit on my 2020 Prius prime with the stock Toyota cross bars which appear to be very close to 3 1/4 inch wide. Cross bars are here: https://parts.toyota.com/p/Toyota__Prius-Prime/Removable-Cross-Bars-With-Keys/76193487/PW30147009.html I prefer a fork mount if possible. Thanks in advance

Although it's a pretty good entry-level roof mount bike rack, The # S64710 Fork Down bike rack wouldn't be a fit around the crossbars you specified. If you choose a rack at a slightly higher price point, you'll find that they attach to the roof rack via the top channels or grooves in the crossbar.

The Inno # INXA391 Fork Lock would attach in this manner, so it won't matter how wide the crossbar is. The rack is compatible with bikes with a 9mm quick release skewer and will work with bikes with disc brakes. The rack is also lockable to the roof rack and to the bike.

If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video featuring the Inno Fork Lock bike carrier.
