Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2018 GMC Acadia- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 GMC Acadia, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack, part number Y02114. This is a clamp-on style bike rack, meaning there's not going to be any frame contact at all. Instead, it's going to grip around your tires, as you see here, which is going to save you some time from having to remove the tire as you would with the fork mounts. We'll also have a wheel strap at the rear, which is adjustable, to accommodate bikes of different sizes. We also have an integrated cable lock on the end here with a removable cap, so you can replace this with a Yakima Same Key System Lock Core, so you can secure your bike to the roof rack as well.There is a lock, also, on the top portion here to secure your bike rack to the roof rack. With everything installed as it is, we're not going to have an issue of clearance between our rear hatch and our bike rack, as you can see here.So, let's go ahead and take our bike off and set it aside. more
