The World's Quietest Roof Rack-Whispbar by Yakima

    If you believe that roof racks should be seen and not heard, you'll love the new Whispbar by Yakima. With an eye-catching low profile style that rivals the best factory installed crossbars, you won't hear any complaints about ugly crossbars on your new car. In fact, you won't hear much of anything-as their name implies, Whispbar roof racks are whisper quiet.     The Whispbar crossbar was designed by former Rolls Royce aircraft engineer using numerous wind tunnel tests and real world road testing. The result is a strong, functional crossbar with the lowest wind noise and drag of any roof rack. Their innovative infilled T slot design allows for fast, solid mounting of bike trays and other accessories, without leaving an open channel on top of the bar to cause noise and reduce fuel efficiency.     Whispbar roof racks will accept all factory rack compatible accessories from Yakima, as well as most from Thule and Malone...

The Thule RaceWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack

    Thule's new 9002 RaceWay 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bicycle Rack just arrived in our warehouse this morning, but we're going to need more of them. LOTS more. Because everyone with bikes but no trailer hitch is going to want one. Thule spent about 2 years perfecting the RaceWay's design, and it shows. The RaceWay's integrated Fit Number system allows you to set the carrier's angle to match the back of your vehicle even faster than on previous models. Thule's new Sure-Tight cable system locks the RaceWay to your vehicle with a couple quick turns of a knob. This new ultra-stable system needs only 4 rubber coated hooks to hold the rack securely in place, and the locking adjustment knobs keep thieves from loosening the cut-resistant cables and walking away with your bike rack . Thule has also included an integrated cable lock to secure the outermost bike (which makes it nearly impossible to swipe your other bikes, too). You can check out the full RaceWay installatio...

Introducing the new HighLite premium bike rack from Yakima

    The new  Yakima HighLite Receiver Hitch Mounted Bicycle Racks offer all the features of Yakima's DoubleDown hitch racks in a new, lightweight design that fits both 2" and 1.25" receiver hitches. The HighLite's aluminum design provides you with a rugged, rust free bike rack that's quite easy to install. It utilizes Yakima's SwitchBlade anti-sway cradles for improved bike stability, an integrated LockDown security cable that locks your bikes to the rack, and a locking tongue assembly to lock the rack to your vehicle. The HighLite's TriggerFinger releases enable the bike support arms to fold down when not in use and allow the rack to tilt away from your vehicle for easy trunk/hatch access. It's available in both 2 and 3 bike models.
