This wheel-mount carrier lets you transport 1 bike on your roof rack crossbars. Pivoting wheel hoops hold bike by the front wheel, and TorqueRight knob prevents over-tightening. Rear-wheel cradle adjusts to hold bikes of different lengths.1. One star ding for price. Fairly expensive for a single bike, especially after adding a lock core.
2. The rack works exceptionally well and I'm not disappointed with the purchase.
Installation is fairly simple. It does take a bit of fiddling to get the tension down on the rack clamps (connecting it to car) but it is a simple affair, and I'm able to move it between an aero rack and a round rack with out adjusting the tension.
The sliding tray in the rear is a bit sticky, so if you carry bikes of different wheelbases, you may need to add some lubrication to the tract.
Front wheel locks into place (I've used 700x25 and 29x2.3) simply, and the clutch in the tension wheel is a nice addition. It would be nice if there was a quick release button (like in times past) but it spins fairly quickly to unload.
The locking whip is a nice addition. I have been able to rout it over the chainstay on both bikes. However, it is too short to route around chainstay and wheel. I'd prefer to include my rear wheel inside the lock.
Overall, I'm very happy with the product.
This was incredibly easy to install. Took less than 10 mins. It comes out of the box ready to go, no tools, and instructions are super straightforward. I put my mountain bike on top and it worked perfect. Very stable. I also noticed (or didn’t notice) wind noise. It’s very quiet in the flat position and it looks great on my Forester Wilderness. Will buy another one soon. And etrailer.com is an absolutely first class company to work with. All accessories for my vehicles from here on will be purchased from this site.
Fantastic rack. Extremely smooth lines when carrying a bike or not. I stuck 3 of them on the roof of my Subaru Outback and couldn't be happier with how secure everything is. I am still able to open the hatch to store our gear unlike a hitch mount and haven't ruined the departure angle on an already long wagon. Easy to install and fit very snugly on the OEM Subaru crossbars with rubber straps. The integrated bike locks are awesome! Had them on the car in 20 minutes. etrailer was extremely helpful throughout the process of ordering and delivered a great bunch of products on time.
The new Highroad is amazingly easy to use and very secure. I have them mounted on a retrax tonneau with rails. I love this system for when I am towing our travel trailer. The Highroad has been improved so much from earlier models. Easy to load and secure multiple bike sizes. My plus totes and skinny tires both fit great.
If one must use a rooftop bike carrier, these are hard to beat. Easy loading and unloading mechanism. Locks to the crossbars and has a cable to deter theft of the bike. The selling point for me was the ease of moving from one vehicle to another. Literally 2-3 minutes each with no tools except a key required. Highly recommend/Expensive but a good value.
Very well made, and easy to use. I was extremely happy with this product. However, I'm 67 years old, and having my bike on top of my vehicle was not working for me. I just don't have the upper body strength I use to, so I sold this rack. The good news is that I was able to get almost what I paid for it. Holding their value indicates it's a good product
Easiest Yakima mounting system ever. Thank you Yakima for finally engineering this item to go on and off quickly and securely.
It works great. If I was their engineer I’d do some minor things differently - lateral stability is so-so, some parts could be of stronger materials - but it’s good. I’m 6’ 5” and drive an Outback, you may need to be tall like me, or drive a clown car!
Excellent bike carrier and great service

Works great...high quality rooftop bike carrier.
The (2) Yakima HighRoad racks get a 5 Stars rating it was first class well made and easy to install on my 2017 Subaru Outback. What I really like is the bikes face forward and I can open the hatch without hitting the rack or bike.
I also give etrailer 5 Stars rating too, perfect online ordering, free shipping was available when I make my purchase, and I received the racks when stated. etrailer communications on my order during and after was outstanding. The etrailer Yakima HighRoad install video made the installation easy.
I would like to say thank you to all the etrailer staff that handled my order.
2011 BMW 335. Works great for my mountain bike with 29" wheels. Has some room to spare so even thicker tires than my 2.5" would fit. After loading and unloading a few times it's quite simple to operate. The knob will click when you get to the maximum tightness. Having all the bikes on definitely affects fuel mileage but they hold steady. Both outside carriers in the photo.
Awesome product...with easy installation, and very simple (and secure) bike rack, with loading and unloading made easy. Thanks to etrailer for helping me through the process (as Covid19 delayed the product), and expediting the delivery of my two racks.
I like this roof rack. It holds the bike very securely and feels solid and well built. I have used this rack for one year now and am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. It is great to be able to leave the front wheel on the bike as well.
Great experience with this company. Pat C. did an amazing job handling my order mistake and going above and beyond. The bike mount itself feels really great quality wise, and we purchased the additional locks with I definitely reccomend. Overall will be returning for future purchases and will reccomend this this site.
Super sturdy wheel on bike rack. I enjoyed it so much I ended up buying another shortly after because it was so easy to install and uninstall if I were to go biking with my siblings.
Everything we expected. Took some research to decide on a bike carrier for our new Subaru, but etrailer was very helpful. Great shipping and good service. We purchased two and are pleased with how easy they are to set up and use. No complaints so far.
Thanks etrailer! Not only were my bike racks delivered incredibly fast, they were the best price I could find online or in brick and mortar stores. I can't show you pictures yet...still waiting for the roof rack to be delivered. I was sold on your store and this particular product because of the helpful videos. Keep up the great work!
Product is great. Easy to install and seems to be of good quality. Took about 5 minutes to install on my Audi factory rails and the fit was perfect. Holds bike really securely. My only complaint is that the the box was wide open when delivered. Looks like it was opened deliberately by someone. Nothing was missing so I have no complaints.
Very solid construction and a cinch to install, securing and removing the bike is even easier and the retractable cable lock is a very nice feature.
Works amazing with the rhino rails
It took only two days from order to delivery. And it only took me 20 minutes to unbox and install the rack on the roof of my 2020 Subaru Outback. Installation is simple and intuitive.
eTrailer is super responsive and a reliable source of car/trailer related products. My experience with them has always been great.
Fast shipping and great product looks fantastic on my 2021 hrv
Once mounted to my bed of my truck, it has proven a stable and secure carrier for my stable of bikes
Great rack, easy to use, but a little annoying to have to crank out the had screw each time

After a year on the car and some 50 uses, everything is fine and I have no regrets. Regardless of the bike in use, it performs flawlessly.
