Yakima Raptor Bike Mount
Brand : YakimaItem : YAK0092
The Yakima Raptor bike rack holds a bike firmly with adjustable locking jaws and a triangulated arm, just like its primitive namesake. The Raptor applies upright convenience to a wide variety of tube shapes and sizes (up to 3in) at a reasonable price. Load and unload your bike without removing the front wheel. The Raptor's claw grips with a non-marring pad to protect the bike's finish; while a large red knob turns to secure the bike to the mount, meaning there are no levers to throw or weird gadgetry to deal with. The Raptor is compatible to factory racks with the addition of MightyMounts (sold separately) and mounts equally well to round or square crossbars.

Yakima Raptor Bike Mount
Use caution
If your bike has non-round frame components, don't get this rack, it won't hold the bike. Even if your bike does have a round downtube, make sure you install lock cores, and back the rack up with some kind of system that will pull the bike in to the middle of your car when the rack lets go of your bike - it's happened to me often. A better choice is the Yakima Cobra bike rack.
Great Bike Rack
Bike rack is very easy to use and very strong. I bought two of them for my VW Touareg and they're great. The bike fits firmly and it’s a great value for the $$$.
the raptor rocks
If you don't want to have to remove your front wheel this rack is great. This rack is simple to use; I have it on top of my jeep, and I am not tall. The simple crank holds my non-round tube just fine.
Rack OK, Yakima Info poor
The Raptor works just fine with my (non-round) bike frame, BUT the info from Yakima's website on the mounts to use with my Honda CRV factory rack is wrong. I had do modify them to make them fit.
Return or not return?
I have had my Raptor about 2 weeks and noone at Yakima seems to know why my front wheel turns from side to side when the car is in motion. No matter how tight I strap it down. They have offered no solutions so I am going to have to return it. It's wearing my tire down when I travel.
