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

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
