Yakima King Cobra Long-term Bike Rack Review

When it comes to carrying your bikes on your car, you’ve got three options: 1) on your roof and 2) on your torso lid or 3) on a hitch rack.  While my preferred carrying method is on a hoick rack (because everyone has a roof rack horror story), that’s not always a practical option.

So, if you’re going to go for a new roof rack, believe your options and I’d suggest looking hanker and hard at the Yakima King Cobra upright bike rack.  There are other great options, but this rack is one of the easiest to use and should be tops on your rota if you must carry your bikes on top.

About the Yakima King Cobra Bike Rack

Built to carry any genre of bike size from 29-ers to 20-inch BMX bikes without removing the front hoop. This is key for those with thru-axle or bolt-on front forks or for those with funky cut frames.  The rack is compatible with either square (Yakima) or about (Thule) load bars out of the box and includes a built-in locking radiogram.

Feature Highlights:

Fast-loading scheme with hands-free adjustment Ability to lead bikes with 20 to 29-inch wheels Fits orbiting or square crossbars Grabs your front tire… no tint rub No wheel removal required MSRP: $140
