The Yakima FrontLoader with locks is a roof mounted upright bike carrier that holds a single bike by its wheels alone, with no contact on the frame at any point. The wheel on design, tool free fitting and included locks make it a safe everyday choice for carbon road bikes, mountain bikes and full suspension frames alike.

• Zero frame contact: the bike is held only by its tyres, so carbon frames, custom paintwork and unusual tube shapes are never clamped or scratched.
• Wheel on loading: both wheels stay on the bike and the front tyre rolls straight into the catcher, so a single ratcheting knob is all it takes to secure the load.
• Adjustable tray: the front tray slides along the carrier to match wheelbases up to 1230 mm, covering compact frames and long touring geometry.
• Broad bike compatibility: the carrier takes wheels from 20 to 29 inches and tyres up to 3 inches wide, and works with disc brakes, thru axles and full suspension frames without adapters.
• Tool free universal fitting: the mounting hardware clamps onto round, square, aerodynamic and most factory crossbars in a few minutes with no tools required.
• Locks included: the integrated cable secures the bike to the carrier and a second lock holds the carrier to the bars, all on one key.
• Folds flat when empty: the arms lie down against the tray when no bike is loaded, cutting wind noise and drag on the return trip.
• Load rating: the carrier takes bikes up to 18 kg with the crossbars set at least 46 cm apart, and weighs around 6 kg itself.
