The Yakima FrontLoader is one of the all-time best seller carriers. Everyone loves its ease of use, simplicity, durability, features and flexibility, even its utilitarian design.
Due to its wheel-mount system, it's one of the most stable ways to carry your bike with both wheels on. Yakima's wheel-mount clamp design will ensure your bike is rock solid, with zero movement on the move. It's also a safe option for bikes with delicate finishes as there's absolutely no contact with the frame. That's right, you can carry your carbon bike complete on the roof without fear of frame damage, or dirty wheels taking up space in the car. Loading and unloading is made simple with Yakima's easy-to-use system, plus the FrontLoader holds your bike upright while you secure it.
The FrontLoader has an almost universal attachment system which will fit round, square, factory, or aerodynamic crossbars, everything except square bars exceeding 38mm in depth. Note that the crossbar spread minimum and maximum are 46cm to 122cm. If that isn't enough for you, it's also ultra-quick and simple to install, please refer to the fitting instructions for more details.
Whether you have the latest Specialized TT bike or you're still hanging onto your 1990s Slingshot mountain bike, this is the perfect carrier for you. Maximum bike weight limit is 18kg so it will suit most standard bicycle tupes and sizes. If your bike has a front wheel between 20in and 29in and doesn't have mudguards, then it's likely to fit on the FrontLoader. It will fit kid’s bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes including Leftys, bikes with thru axles and disks, all without a problem, and it’s going to be especially nice to your sweet 6kg carbon rig. It can fit tire widths ranging from road bike sizes up to 3in wide tires.
Not only is the FrontLoader very easy-to-use, it also includes locks to secure your bike to the carrier, and the carrier locks to your roof rack. These included locks can be matched to your other Yakima products, so you've got one key for all. You can also key alike your Yakima products by purchasing lock cores separately. If you have any further questions about key matching please contact us for more information.
