      Comments about Yakima Viper Bike Mount:

      I use this for my road and Mtb and have had a great experience and plan to buy a second.. the only concern I have is I have a large jeep cherekee and it is a (little) hard to pull the Mtb off.. but it is due to the height of the jeep. otherwise I love it.. its very easy to adjust from the two bike sizes and bam I'm on the road and heading to Parrie City or Sea Otter without a shake or humming from the wind at 75 mph.

      Oh and a side note -I live in the snow during winter and it stays on unpertected and it has yet to jam or rust its still unaffected after 3 years of abuse..

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Yakima Viper Bike Mount:

        This is a terrific rack. I can carry two bikes on the roof of my Jeep. I also bought the Rocket Box, which I highly recommend. I would recommend getting a single lock system for travel. One key will lock the rack, bikes to the rack, and the Rocket Box. Overall, great system. One obvious con is the system will destroy your gas mileage.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Yakima Viper Bike Mount:

        Works great for my mountain bike. I have to jam a rag under back strap to make my smaller road bike tire fit though. Tough lock system. Looks formidable.

        Awesome bike rack. Be careful how you place the mounts on your roof rack. They tend to bend if improperly placed.
