Standing beside this awesome Honda Pilot roof rack setup for carrying skis and a bike are Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep, and Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager.

Lucky us for a recent visit from Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep. A great day was had by all at ORS Racks Direct, as we spent the day discussing all things concerning Yakima Racks… exciting new products are now available for 2010, including the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack, Yakima SpareTime spare tire mount bike rack, Yakima EvenKeel kayak rack etc. Of course, before Steve had a chance to jump back in his car and head back home, we were able to capture yet another poor quality image (due to using a Blackberry camera and foggy weather) of his sweet Honda Pilot roof rack for carrying skis and a bike. The Yakima RailGrab roof rack is mounted to the Honda Pilot factory side rails and the Yakima SkyBox LoPro ski box and Yakima SprocketRocket bike rack are attached to the RailGrab cross bars. Pictured along with Mr. Reeder is Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager, obviously involved in high-level rack science discussions.

Q: My 2005 Suzuki Reno has a base rack system on it form Yakima Racks. What bike racks can I use for carrying a couple bicycles with disc brakes?

A: Because you are already using the Yakima Q Towers car rack system as a 2005  Suzuki Reno roof rack, you can attach any roof mount Yakima bike racks to the crossbars. Your best options for upright mount bike racks are the Yakima HighRoller and Yakima King Cobra. For fork mount bike rack options your best bets are the Yakima ForkLift and Yakima SprocketRocket. All are compatible with bike disc brakes.
