Need a sweet upright bike mount that doesn't deplete your budget? Turn to the Yakima Raptor bicycle carrier, which holds a single bike on the roof of your car. Designed to hold bikes with 1- to 3-inch diameter downtubes, the Raptor fits both round and square crossbars, including factory crossbars when paired with Yakima Mighty Mounts or Universal Mighty Mounts (sold separately). Once you've secured the downtube, it's easy to keep the bike stable for the entire trip, with ratcheting wheel straps that keep the tires in place. And thanks to the versatile design, the Raptor has no problem handling disc brakes or thru axles. The end result? Plenty of leftover cash for life's other necessities, such as inner tubes, cheap brews, and ramen noodles. All Yakima bike mounts carry a limited lifetime warranty.

The Yakima Raptor bike rack holds a bike firmly with adjustable locking jaws and a triangulated arm, just like its primitive namesake. The Raptor applies upright convenience to a wide variety of tube shapes and sizes (up to 3in) at a reasonable price. Load and unload your bike without removing the front wheel. The Raptor's claw grips with a non-marring pad to protect the bike's finish; while a large red knob turns to secure the bike to the mount, meaning there are no levers to throw or weird gadgetry to deal with. The Raptor is compatible to factory racks with the addition of MightyMounts (sold separately) and mounts equally well to round or square crossbars.
