RockyMounts bike racks are an excellent, lower cost alternative for those interested in a fork mount style bicycle carrier (the front wheel is removed and the bike fork attaches to the bike rack quick release skewer). The photo above shows a 2007 Toyota Prius bike roof rack that uses two RockyMounts Pitchfork bike rack carriers attached to the Yakima Q Towers car rack multi-purpose base rack system (Q Towers mount to the Toyota Prius car top using a pair of Yakima Q124 clips and a pair of Yakima Q5 clips; two Yakima 58 inch cross bars are also used; these components are all included with the Yakima Q Tower complete roof rack system). Also a large size 44 inch Yakima rack fairing is connected to the front base rack crossbar.

2008 Volkswagen GTI Roof Rack System with Bike Racks

Great picture of a 2008 VW GTI with Thule 400XT base rack system and Rocky Mounts Pitchfork bike racks

Great picture of a 2008 VW GTI bike roof rack with Thule 400XT base rack system and Rocky Mounts Pitchfork bike racks.

 Here is a good example of how a roof rack system can add some serious style points to an already stylish car.  This 2008 VW GTI had nothing on the rooftop before we installed the Thule 400XT roof rack system and then slapped on a couple low profile, red Rocky Mounts Pitchforks.  The customer was a bit hesitant to change the look of his ride, but when he took one look at the finished product he was very satisfied.

Here is a nice shot of a Yakima Control Tower System using Yakima Landing Pad 11 mounted directly to the Mazda 3 factory mounting points for a clean, custom look.  If you take a close look, you’ll also notice the system is using a Yakima Wind Jammer to quiet the wind noise.  Mounted to the 48″ Yakima Roundbars, we have a Rocky Mounts Lariat SLX bike rack which is transporting a very sweet Salsa El Mariachi 29er.
