The HighSpeed has a sleek and aerodynamic tray which won't interfere with hatch opening, even in higher lift hatches. This clearance is an issue that is often overlooked in bike carriers, so it's nice to see Yakima has made sure it isn't a problem with the HighSpeed.
No matter what type of bike you have, the HighSpeed can most likely accommodate it. Road bikes, mountain bikes or even fat bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide are all no problem. Plus it can be used with both quick release (9mm) and thru axle type bikes (20mm, 15mm, or 12mm), the only type of bike that requires an adapter kit are 9mm x 135mm quick release fat bikes. The maximum bike wheelbase compatible with this carrier is 1270mm, which plenty of allowance for most bikes to be carried.
It's also versatile in the range of roof racks it can be fitted to, as standard it will fit most crossbars on the market using its wrap around attachment system. It also has the ability to fit T-slot crossbars with the addition of a Smart T-Slot kit.
For security it includes a TailWhip cable lock, which you can add a Yakima lock core to, for ultimate security you can also add an SKS lock to the TorqueRight securing knob. Note that locks are sold separately. You can key alike your Yakima products by purchasing lock cores which can be purchased from us. If you have any further questions about key matching please contact us for more information.
The new design TorqueRight knob does an excellent job of getting the tension just perfect to ensure your bike isn't going anywhere while ensuring you don't overtighten either. This new design is now nicer to look at, built more solidly and is more aerodynamic than previous iterations.
The only real drawback of this carrier is that you have to remove the front wheel to load your bike, making it less easy than a wheel mount bike carrier to use. However, many people prefer fork mount carriers due to their secure attachment system, so if you're looking for a fork mount carrier it's a very good option.
Yakima is fast becoming one of the best built and best value brands out there. Competitors should be worried, and will need to step up their game as long as Yakima keeps delivering new products and updates like the HighSpeed.
Mounting the carrier to your rack is a tool-free job, and easy to do on your own, please see the instructions for more details.
