GET YOURSELF A COPPERHEAD, AND NO MATTER YOUR BUDGET, YOU'LL STILL HAVE A FEW COPPER COINS TO RUB TOGETHER.Yakima's most affordable bike rack, the CopperHead fork-mount rooftop bike rack is strong, attractive, and functional. The CopperHead is equipped with a sturdy fork that attaches quickly and easily to your bike's SKS-lockable skewer. As a result, you can install just about any type of bike on the rack, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and hybrids. (The CopperHead accommodates quick-release wheel skewers, so owners of bikes with nutted front wheels, triple clamp forks, or forks with dropout spacing should consider other mounts instead.) The aerodynamic fork block, meanwhile, adds stability--a must when driving at high speeds or on gravel roads. And despite the low price tag, the CopperHead fits all round and square rooftop crossbars, along with all common bike wheel and tire sizes. Easy to install, the CopperHead comes with Yakima's lifetime warranty.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Nice rack
Just purchased this and I'm very happy with it so far.
Ease of Use:
It was easy to install (attached to Yakima round bars) and is incredibly easy to load the bike. The bike remains very stable even at fast highway speeds (~80mph).
Security:
The rack is only secure if you purchase the sold separately SKS lock core.
I've seen some complaints about the security of the fork skewer even with an SKS lock installed, but it seems reasonable to me as long as the bike is loaded. Technically, if the skewer were not tight enough, even with the skewer closed against the fork dropouts and the lock engaged, you could twist the adjustment collar on the skewer to loosen it and eventually remove it. I am not able to do this with my setup, so I'm not worried about it. If a bike is not loaded on the rack, however, the security would be pretty much useless. One could twist the adjustment collar until the axle of the skewer unscrewed, remove the skewer, then...

Very nice product, LOVE IT
We LOVE this roof top rack. Bike was wobbly at first but my husband realized he didn't have the rack tightened down as much as it should be to the truck. Problem solved. We have 5 kids so there is 7 bikes in all. The bike is very sturdy up there. I am looking to buy another one now.(and a hitch rack) We have a yukon so as a women I don't think I cld put my bike up there but my husband is 6'5". So the height of your vehicle and your height depends if this really works for YOU. You also need an easy release front wheel. Otherwise this would be a pain to have tools w you to remove your wheel. I would have 4 of them if that wouldn't be to pricey but for my budget it would be. we did have to buy a lock separately for it, you don't have to have this but if you plan on leaving your bikes unattended its a good idea.
Still great after years of use
Nice product. Easy to use and simple. No problems while driving or attaching different kinds of bikes. I whole heartedly recommend.
