Treat your bike like Coach gets treated in Vegas: first class all the way. This top-shelf rack keeps even the heaviest bikes safe and secure without requiring you to remove the front wheel.

  • Fits bikes with wheels from 20” to 29” in diameter
  • Fits most tire sizes, from super-skinny road tires to big bad 3-inchers, without adaptors
  • Keeps your paint job looking pretty because it grabs onto your wheel and doesn’t touch the painted surfaces of your bike
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • No problem handling disc brakes, thru axles, or funky suspension designs
  • One easy-to-reach knob controls retention, adjustment and release
  • Premium finish gives it that sweet, big-money look

"The Yakama High Roller Bike Rack is possibly the best on the market. Great product. Great service."

Rating:*****
I ordered 2 Yakama High Roller Bike Racks on 10-12-09 and received them on 10-15-09. WOW! Is that service or what? Rawberry was also extreemely helpfull in the order process. Rawberry Rocks! The High Roller is the best roof rack mount bike carrier on the market, bar none. It's easy to set up, easy to use and is solid and secure. I will be doing a custom Dodge RAM1500 Crew Cab with RAM tool side boxes Truck bed installation utilizing 60" Yakama tracks, Rail rider 3 control towers, sks lock cores and Yakama 48" cross bars. this should prove to be a great way to secure and haul 4 Kona DAWG Deluxe Mountain bikes. Happy trails to all.

Love this bike rack!

Rating:*****
Just got two of these for my Yakima bars. This is by far the fastest rack for mounting/unmounting I have ever used (next an open truck bed). I have used other roof mount racks on friends cars, such as the pedal arm attachment, front quick release attachment, and find this rack to beat them all hands down. No wheel removal, sturdy hold, and really quick to get bike on and off. But spendy (I bought it on the 20% off sale). My only complaint is the little covers you install after attaching the rack to the bars does not snap on very easily.

pretty dang good

Its super fast to get your bike on and off. The tightening knob for the front tire is a big improvement over the yakima king cobra. The only downside is that you need both hands to loosen it by pushing the red button and lowering the support, but that leaves no hands free to keep the bike from falling. So it takes some getting used to. Its really expensive too, but beats thule hands down. I'd recommend it especially since I don't think there's anything better out there.

Love the new racks. I got them for Mother's day. My husband is 6'5" he loads the bikes easily. No fault of the racks, I just can't reach. Don't forget to put the back strap back in place. :-)

Great Bike Rack

Rating:*****
I enjoyed this bike rack. It is very well made and looks like it could outlast my bike. It is hard however, at first to use but is easy enough that I got used to this bike rack.

I love my Highroller! It holds my bike safe and secure without messing up the paint and is super easy to use. Now if only there was a way to keep my bike that safe on the trails…
