Features:
The HighRoller is a very nice roof rack that has benefits that any cyclist can appreciate. Below we’ve outlined the key benefits to the Yakima HighRoller. The HighRoller is an upright bike carrier and holds the bike in place without contacting the frame. Loading and unloading the bikes is very easy, and makes the process of transporting bikes a lot faster than other roof rack options. The weight limit of each HighRoller rack is 50lbs so it can hold just about any bike with ease as even heavy downhill bikes are typically under 50lbs.
- The HighRoller has no problem handling disc brakes, thru axles, or funky suspension designs

- The HighRoller keeps your paint job looking pretty because it grabs onto your wheel and doesn’t touch the painted surfaces of your bike. The bike loads into the tray with ease and tightens easily by turning the outer knob.

- The HighRoller fits every tire we put in there. From super-skinny road tires to big bad 3-inchers, without any adapters or releasing tire pressure to force it to fit. If you’ve got to lift a heavy bike onto your roof, it’s nice to know you don’t have to mess with adapters or tools with this tray.

The front wheel holder has an adjuster than has several detents that the adjuster can move into accommodate varying bike wheel sizes. All adjustable without any tools or adapters.
