Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices.

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

Its super fast to get your bike on and off. The tightening knob for the front tire is a big improvement over the yakima king cobra. The only downside is that you need both hands to loosen it by pushing the red button and lowering the support, but that leaves no hands free to keep the bike from falling. So it takes some getting used to. Its really expensive too, but beats thule hands down. I'd recommend it especially since I don't think there's anything better out there.

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

You get what you pay for, this thing is expensive but it looks good, easy to use, and is strong. it is still scary for me to go around turns fast because there is some wobble in the bike from side to side when you turn, but the bike is secure, it may not always look secure but its not gonna go anywhere, just wobbles a little, my road bike also fits on this pretty well but it wobbles even more.

Im only 5'5" so its a little hard for me to put my bike up on this rack, but its doable, just got to put a little back into it!

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

Just got two of these for my Yakima bars. This is by far the fastest rack for mounting/unmounting I have ever used (next an open truck bed). I have used other roof mount racks on friends cars, such as the pedal arm attachment, front quick release attachment, and find this rack to beat them all hands down. No wheel removal, sturdy hold, and really quick to get bike on and off. But spendy (I bought it on the 20% off sale). My only complaint is the little covers you install after attaching the rack to the bars does not snap on very easily.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was about two days! That was with the cheapest shipping.

I enjoyed this bike rack. It is very well made and looks like it could outlast my bike. It is hard however, at first to use but is easy enough that I got used to this bike rack.

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

I have this rack installed on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee factory crossbars and it easily sits next to my Yakima Powderhound without interfering with the functionality of the ski rack. No extenders/adaptors are needed to use this rack in combination with other racks on the top of your small to midsize SUV.

This rack holds up very well in high wind, interstate driving conditions. I drove with my bike on this rack from Dillon, CO to north central Kansas during 25-35 mph northwest winds with gusts up to 60 with no problems. The bike wiggled some in the rack but did not develop a lean despite strong crosswinds. During this trip a large tumbleweed blew across the interstate and got caught up in the bike. Despite this, the rack held the bike steady. It does make a whining noise due to wind but it's not a deafening noise nor should it cause alarm. In sum, I would feel confident driving with my bike in this rack in almost any conditions.

The rack took me less than 10 minutes to install on my crossbars and folds down nicely when not in use. The locking cable is a nice feature and easy to use.

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

I got this bike mount at an REI garage sale last season and used it with my Haro 29er bike. It was easy to install and at first I thought that it won't work with fairing on but worked fine, not like the King Cobra where I needed to remove the fairing to move the swing bar of the mount.
I already have two Vipers but I'm planning to replace them with another one of these. The mount is a little heavier than the Viper and puts more drag on the aerodynamics of your vehicle even with fairing due to its bigger size. I highly recommend this product to those who have 20mm thru-axle fork bikes or those who doesn't want to remove their from tires.

Love the new racks. I got them for Mother's day. My husband is 6'5" he loads the bikes easily. No fault of the racks, I just can't reach. Don't forget to put the back strap back in place. :-)

Comments about Yakima High Roller Bike Mount:

Yakima adds a lock strap to the mount which forces you to go out and buy one of their expensive locks to use it and you have no choice but to use it or it will just hang there and fly in the wind - I almost considered just cutting the thing off. Odd is the fact that the mount itself can't be locked down, so if someone wanted to steal your bike they could just take your mount off. I think yakima just wanted to sell more locks! I bought another lock and now I have to use two different keys for my Yakima gear - so much for SKS (same key system).
