    The new Pitchfork fork mounted roof top bike carrier from Rocky Mounts brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "low profile". Although the Pitchfork is only about an inch and a half tall, its tubular aluminum tray is 40% stronger and 2 inches longer (45") than previous tray designs, giving you more tray with less wind noise. The long-throw quick release skewer and rear tire ratcheting strap will hold your bike like a champ, whether you've got a road bike or a mountain bike with fat tires (up to 2.7 inches). The Pitchfork sports a unique dual-locking design. By locking the skewer with one Rocky Mounts Lock Core both your bike and the tray are locked to your roof rack. For even greater security, you can also install a second lock core to secure the tray to your rack even when the skewer isn't locked. The Pitchfork roof mounted bicycle carrier fits Yakima roundbars and Thule square bars (all mounting hardware is included) and comes with a one year warranty...

    If you're in the market for a quality bike tray that won't cost a fortune, look no further than Thule's new Prologue tray. The Thule 516 Prologue Fork Mounted Bicycle Carrier is a great entry-level bike tray with features that are anything but basic. The Prologue's head is a slim, aerodynamic design constructed of a high-strength nylon composite, and a beefy stainless steel skewer gives the Prologue a rock solid grip on your bike. The skewer's oversized lever makes loading and unloading quick and easy, and the skewer locks your bike to the tray, and your tray to your roof rack with the addition of one Thule lock core (sold separately.) It is also compatible with most 9mm disc brakes. The aluminum tray is a single-wall style that accommodates tires up to 2.6" wide, and wheelbases up to 48". The Prologue is compatible with Thule square bars and Yakima round bars, and can be mounted to Thule's Aero Bars with Xadapt9 Adapter Kit .     With the Thu...

    The Rocky Mounts Lariat Fork Mount Bike Tray is an excellent balance of functionality and price. While significantly less expensive than bike trays from Thule and Yakima, the Lariat fits on their roof racks like a glove. The head is a rugged, low profile cast metal unit and features a long throw, stainless steel quick release skewer. The head is attached to the front crossbar using tamper-resistant bolts. For additional anti-theft security, you can add a Rocky Mounts Lock Core to the skewer.     The Lariat is available in two sizes. The Lariat SL has a 43" long aluminum tray and is designed to hold road bikes and mountain bikes with tires up to 2.3" wide. The larger Lariat SLX has a 45" long aluminum tray designed to hold mountain bikes with tires up to 3" wide.  The Lariat SL is compatible with some disc brakes, the SLX is not. So if you need the wide tray, or your disc brakes refuse to "play nice" with the slimmer SL tray, grab the Rocky Mo...

    If you're looking for a basic fork mount bicycle carrier at a great price, the Yakima 2065 Boa Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks is  the rack for you. Just like a real boa constrictor , once the Yakima Boa's quick release skewer gets a grip on your bike, it's not going anywhere. It uses the same rugged plastic head unit as the Copperhead, with a universal skewer that can be locked with one SKS Lock Core (not included.) Instead of a long tray like that on most fork mounts, the Boa  has a short plastic rear tray that will allow the rear wheel to be attached to the rear crossbar on your roof rack. You do have to be careful though, because in order for this bike rack to work properly, the distance between your bike's front fork rear wheel must be within a few inches of the distance between the bars on your roof rack. The Boa can be safely mounted on racks whose crossbars are between 32" and 50" apart, so if your roof rack has a shorter or longer span the ...

    The Thule 558p Tandem Bike Carrier for Roof Racks offers a safe way to carry your tandem or recumbent bike around town or across the country. This bike mount features a swiveling head that allows you to attach the fork to the skewer without having to lift the whole bike on top of your rack. Once the fork is in place, just lift the rear wheel up onto the tray and strap it down. The Thule Tandem bicycle tray mounts directly to Yakima round bars or Thule square bars, but is not compatible with Thule aero bars, the Xsporter, or factory racks. Also, a minimum of 22” between the front and back bars is required to mount the Tandem to your roof rack . The only tool required for installation is a 1/2" wrench (not included.) for added security, the use of Thule's 538 Cable Lock with the Tandem carrier is highly recommended, as the Tandem carrier does not have any built-in locking functionality. Though the lack of a locking feature is an inconvenience, the 558p Tandem B...

    If you’re looking for a top quality upright mount, look no further than the Thule 594 Side Arm Upright Bicycle Carrier . A perfect match for odd frame styles or carbon-fiber frames, the SideArm adjusts to clamp on to the front tire in front of the fork on the bike. This rugged rack will accommodate any wheel size from 20-29", and loading a bike can take as little as 30 seconds.     The SideArm comes pre-assembled for passenger side mounting, but the SideArm instructions give full details on reversing the mechanism for mounting on the driver's side. The only tricky part of mounting the SideArm to your roof rack is getting some of the carriage bolts through the baseplate on the side where the arm is located. Just follow the instructions on removing the baseplate, inserting the bolts, and reinstalling the base plate, and you'll do fine. The SideArm includes all the hardware you need to mount it on round or square bars. For mounting on Thule aer...

    The Yakima 2085 Raptor Upright Bicycle Carrier and the Yakima 2093 Raptor Aero Upright Bicycle Carrier are bicycle trays that have stood the test of time. While the Raptor has undergone a few small improvements over time, the same basic design has been in use for many years, and it's a great choice for anyone who wants a dependable, no-frills upright bike carrier. Its long tray holds almost any length bicycle (except tandems and recumbents), and the down tube clamping arm accepts most common frame types. This clamping system may not work on some odd shaped frames, and is not recommended for use with carbon fiber frames (you wouldn't want the clamp to deform your carbon fiber frame).     Loading a bike onto the Raptor is easy. Just loosen the big red knob on the clamp a few turns, line the bike up in the tray, tighten the clamp back up, and strap the wheels down. The standard Raptor fits round and square bars, and can be adapted to many factory rac...

    Just like the name says, the Yakima 2045 SteelHead Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks has an all steel head unit that's built to last. It's aerodynamic design not only looks good, it increases stability, which is great for those long trips. It's not compatible with disc brakes, though, so if your bike has disc brakes you may want to check out the Yakima 2098 ForkLift . The SteelHead will carry any size bike except for recumbent and tandem models. The SteelHead is a prefect fit for Yakima aficionados, and mounting it to your Yakima roof rack is a breeze. This model only fits Yakima round bars, so if you have a different brand rack you'll want to look at a different bike rack. Once you've mounted the SteelHead to your rack, just make sure the skewer's security peg is lined up with the corresponding hole in the fork block while threading the adjustment knob onto the skewer. After it’s installed it's smooth sailing down the road.

   Thule’s 598 Criterium Upright Bicycle - Bike Carrier for Roof Racks is a nice step up from the Big Mouth.

The Criterium will work on round, square, and Thule aero bars. For mounting on aero bars, a Thule's Xadapt8 adapter hardware package is needed.

    The Yakima 2090 Sprocket Rocket Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks is Yakima’s latest design in fork mount bike racks, and they've spared no expense on style and security. Like the HighRoller, this model has a tough, double wall wheel tray that's as easy on the eyes as it is to operate. The rear wheel strap assembly slides smoothly on the tray for quick, one-hand adjustment to your bike's wheelbase. The head unit is rugged, powder coated steel, and the stainless steel skewer employs an integrated tensioning knob you can adjust with one hand. The skewer tension adjustment knob is normally hidden beneath a flip-up lockable steel cover, so the addition of one SKS Lock Core (sold seperately) gives you the best security available in a fork mount bike carrier. The SprocketRocket accommodates fat or skinny tires, as well as most disc brake types.     Installation is simple. The head unit hinges open and closes around your roof rack's crossbar, and i...

A hex-key wrench is provided and is the only tool needed for installation. The Peloton will work on round, square, and Thule aero bars. For the aero bars, a Thule Xadapt kit is needed. Before you install this bad boy, decide whether the rear wheel strap needs t...

    Like the name says, the Yakima 2091 High Roller Upright Bicycle Carrier is Yakima's high end upright bike carrier. While somewhat similar in design to the King Cobra, the HighRoller has a sleeker look, with a durable gray automotive finish that's a great match for any color vehicle. It sports a beefy double-wall wheel tray (similar to the SprocketRocket) with an easily adjustable sliding rear wheel strap that can be operated from either side of the vehicle. The HighRoller accepts bikes with tire sizes from 20" to 29". Another feature that makes this bike rack stand out from the crowd is the custom-molded covers that go over the mounting hardware in the front, giving the HighRoller a clean, aerodynamic look while keeping thieves snatching your bike tray.This rack is very easy to use, with large red release button and fine adjustment knob to cinch down the front wheel, and integrated locking cable for complete locking security (one SKS lock core is recommended,...

    The Yakima 2084 King Cobra Upright Bicycle Carrier is the answer to fitting any bike regardless of wheel size and frame style. This roof mounted bike rack has a frame that grabs the front wheel of the bike, while the rear wheel is strapped down to the tray. This is one of the fastest bike racks you can get when it comes to mounting your bike. Just set the bike up there, bring the frames around the front wheel, strap the back wheel and literally within a minute you are set and ready to drive off. An integrated cable lock wraps around the frame of the bike and simltaneously locks the bike tray to your roof rack (cable lock requires one SKS lock core, sold seperately).  When not is use it folds down for a lower profile, so with most garages clearance isn’t an issue. Just remember to take your bikes off before you go into that garage!

When you look at this carrier the first thing that stands out is the beefed up skewer. They went to extremes on this one to make sure no thief would waste their time on it.

Pop the bike carrier on to the rack, clamp down the red lever, and slide the skewer in and your done. No hassles, no worries.
