Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack Installation - 2024 Kia Telluride- Video

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

Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2023 Kia Seltos- Video

Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Yakima HighRoad Roof-Mounted Bike Rack, and we'll see how it fits our 2023 Kia Seltos. The HighRoad is gonna be a premium roof-mounted rack that allows you to carry your bike without having to take the front wheels off. It's simply a matter of loading it onto your roof, tightening it down, driving to your destination, and then when you get there, take the bike off as is. 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

Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2023 Kia Seltos Y54NJ- Video

Hey, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Yakima HighSpeed Roof-Mounted Bike Rack right here on our 2023 Kia Seltos. 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

Now, this is something that requires taking off the front wheel in order to load this onto your roof. Some people prefer this, because then it's less weight to get it up and on there. more

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer and today we have the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro and we're gonna take a look at how this roof basket fits on our 2023 Kia Seltos. So the X-Ray Pro is gonna be your larger roof basket, which means you can carry more cargo, but it also has two through axle skewers. So if you also wanna carry around your bikes, you can do so, but depending on your through axle, you may need to get extra parts sold separately in order to fit this specific basket. What we're gonna focus on though is does it fit this specific vehicle So on our Seltos, look at how nicely it fits on our roof. With the dimensions of our basket, the width is gonna be very important and you can see that with the rails on each side, it almost fits flush to those rails, creating all that cargo space without looking too bulky. Now with your roof rack, that might change things up a bit. more

How's it going, everyone Today, we are going to be taking a look at the Yakima HighSpeed Roof Bike Rack, we're gonna see how it fits on our 2021 Kia K5. 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

Now today we have a Thule Rapid Crossroads roof rack up on our roof, and we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack onto the load bars. Starting at the front we'll need to take the rubber-coated u-bolts to go around the underside of the front bar, up through the pre-drilled holes at the head of the carrier. We'll then thread on our cylinder nuts through the top of the bike rack, down onto the u-bolt. Once we have those in place we can then tighten them down with the included tool. We'll then move to the rear and swing the rubber-coated bracket around the underside of the rear bar. We'll need to remove one of the black nuts and insert the bolt through the hole of the plate. more
