Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack Installation - 2024 Kia Telluride

Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer, and today we're talking about the Yakima HighSpeed Bike Rack on top of our 2024 Kia Telluride. Now this will be a great option for you, especially if you don't already own a hitch, or you're using your hitch for other accessories, or you're hauling a trailer at the moment. It's gonna be a great option too, because trying to put a bike in the back of your Telluride, you're not gonna have a whole lot of space for it, So the next best option is gonna be your roof. Especially if you are looking for something more of a fork mounting option, because that wheel can make it a little bit heavier to put up here and a little bit more awkward to maneuver too. So let's check it out. If you have a bike that uses a quick release leaver, then this is gonna be the ideal choice for you. more

So wheel on bike rack means you get to keep the wheel on your bike and then it's simply a matter of loading the bike on and then taking the bike off when you're ready to go for a ride. more

Compared to fork-mounted racks like the HighSpeed, this is gonna be helpful, 'cause you'll get out onto the trails that much faster. But the downside to this style of a rack is that you do have to lift your bike a little bit higher up to get it up into place, and I'll show you that later. more

So for your Seltos, if you're planning on carrying around bikes, but maybe you don't have a hitch yet, so you can't carry a bike rack on your hitch receiver, or you have a roof rack and you're just looking for something that's gonna work with that roof rack you already have, well, the Yakima HighSpeed is gonna be a fork-mounted rack that I recommend looking into. Because it's a fork-mounted rack, you do have to find an alternate location for your front wheel. Fortunately, that can be stored in the hatch very easily. I recommend the HighSpeed if you maybe struggle with lifting your bike super duper high up because this brings the bike a little bit closer to the roof and you don't have to lift as high as the HighRoad, which is the wheel-on version of this rack. Another reason you might be interested in the HighSpeed is because you can add locks to this rack. more

This will be a great option for you if you don't mind removing the front tire of your bike, so that we can use the forks to mount it to the rack. You also do need a roof rack system in order to get this up on your roof, but it is a great option in the event that you don't have a hitch, maybe your hitch is already occupied or you're towing something, so we can take a closer look at how it works. Like I mentioned, here we have the fork mount, so right now it's working with our nine millimeter quick release, but it will also work with a variety of thru-axles, just make sure you check the product page at etrailer.com to get the right axle or fit for your bike size. In this case, we do also have this torque lever or knob here that we can tighten up, and it will make a sound, an audible click, once it gets to the desired torque, that's how you know that it is where you need it to be, and we have this up here, which we can replace with a metal lock core if we want to to secure it. Up to that point, you won't be able to release the bike from the rack. more

Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at how the Piston SR Roof-Mounted Bike Rack fits on the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta. So for your Volkswagen Jetta, it is a really nice car, especially this one, because you have that GLI and you're sporty, but your options for carrying around a bike is limited, unless you have a hitch receiver. So if you don't have a hitch receiver, then your options are a trunk mount or a roof-mounted bike rack. If possible, please get a roof-mounted bike rack instead of a trunk mount, just because it's not a hassle, it doesn't take up your trunk area, and you're not dealing with straps and hooks in contact with your vehicle. Now, this is the Piston SR, which is definitely the more premium of your roof-mounted bike racks. So a quick overview of roof-mounted bike racks is most of them require that you take the front wheel off, so they're fork-mounted bike racks, and those are cool too, but then you do take up more time having to reinstall your front wheel once you're ready to hit the trails. more

This roof rack holds onto your bike by two wheel mounts, a dual wheel mount on either tire, which is nice because we have a carbon frame bike here, and it doesn't make any contact with the frame of the bike itself which could potentially damage the frame. Additionally, this does support a weight of up to 67 pounds, so if you have a larger bike or an e-bike you could actually transport it on your roof.

You can also mount two bikes by the forks to this rack as long as you have the appropriate plugs for thru-axles or for your quick release. more

This is gonna be a good option to get a bike, in this case up to 45 pounds where you need it to go, in the event that maybe you don't have a hitch or you're towing something already, or, you know, you just don't wanna add space to the back of your vehicle, this is a great way to get it on top of the roof and get it to where it's gotta go. This bike rack holds onto our bike by the front tire using these two hoops, rather than making you take the front tire off, which is nice. In addition, there's no frame contact, so if you do wanna put a carbon frame bike up here, you can 'cause it won't damage the frame while you're driving. All you do is you load it up. more

It doesn't take up a ton of space on the bars so this could be a good option for you if that's your situation. This bike rack is nice because it doesn't make any frame contact with your actual bike, so if you we're using a carbon frame bike or an alternative frame, it would still work fine for that. The weight capacity is 45 pounds, and it does accommodate a wheelbase of up to 48 inches, so as long as your bike falls within those parameters. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at how the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Mounted Bike Rack fits on the 2019 Nissan Sentra. So for your Nissan Sentra, if you wanna carry your own bikes, your options are limited, especially if you don't have a hitch receiver. You can get your trunk mounted bike rack, but then you lose access to your trunk and you have to deal with straps and clamps and things like that. If possible, and if you have a roof rack system, then I highly recommend getting a roof mounted bike rack as an option. Here, you have two different options, you can get like a wheel mounted bike rack or a fork mounted bike rack. So this has a 40 pound weight capacity, although you are gonna have to consider if you wanna lift a 40 pound bike up onto your roof. more

So for your Nissan Sentra, if you want to also go riding, you have limited options for getting a bike onto your car. Now, you can get a hitch receiver and then use hitch mounted bike racks, I highly recommend that option, but if you don't have a hitch, you're then stuck to either a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof mounted bike rack. In that case, I do recommend getting a roof mounted bike rack just because it's not that big of a hassle and it's safe and secure up top. So for roof mounted bike racks, there's usually two options, one is gonna be a fork mounted where you have to take your front wheel off, the other is wheel mount where you can keep your bike as is, just pop it on there. So this has a very interesting way of holding onto your bike, you have that front hold up there, then, you make your adjustments with this back one. more

Now a roof-mounted bike rack is a great way to carry a bike on your Q7. The hitch that does fit is required to have some cutting to fit so you might not wanna make a permanent modification to your vehicle like that. So for me, a roof rack is a great way to non-permanently modify your vehicle and still give you a ton of functionality like we see here. Now, with this bike rack in particular it is going to be a fork mount which means we've got the front wheel removed and this is clamped in at the front. more
