Why this product
Why the Yakima ForkLift?
A no-frills fork-mount roof carrier at 6.5 lbs — lightweight aluminum, integrated locks for bike and rack, carbon-frame-safe since it only contacts the fork. The 40 lb limit means standard bikes only. Front wheel removal required. At this price point, it is the affordable entry into roof-mount bike carrying from a trusted brand. I recommend this to riders who want a fork-mount option without spending Thule FastRide money.
