Yakima King Cobra Bike Rack Views
Today we are going to cover part number Y02084 from Yakima. This is Yakimas King Cobra bicycle rack. And what this bicycle rack does is, it mounts to the roof rack of your vehicle and this will fit both round bar and square bar roof racks. And one of the best parts about this design here is it does not require you to take off the front wheel of your bicycle. This is the type for BMX bikes or cruiser bikes that do not have a quick-release skewer. This will fit 20-inch wheels, all the way up to 29-inch mountain bike wheels, and 700c road wheels, too. And you do not have to worry about disc brakes or thru axles or funny suspension bikes, too. We will go ahead and cover the parts in more detail and give you a better idea of how it works.
And with your bike loaded up, you can go ahead and lock it there, too. The built-in cable is stored right here, and you can just wrap it around the frame and lock it back onto itself, like so. The cable does not come with a lock itself, but it does have provision for Yakimas SKS - Same Key System - which you can add a lock core, which is sold separately. All right, and that covers it for part number Y02084 from Yakima, the King Cobra Bicycle Rack.
Built to carry any type of bike size from 29-ers to 20-inch BMX bikes without removing the front wheel. This is key for those with thru-axle or bolt-on front forks or for those with funky style frames. The rack is compatible with either square (Yakima) or round (Thule) load bars out of the box and includes a built-in locking cable.
Typically, you>’re trying to hold your bike upright with one hand while clamping things down with another hand. Or, it ends up being a two-person operation. Thankfully, the Yakima King Cobra is the model of bike rack design and is truly the best solution for rooftop bike carrying. Mine has held up well while carrying everything from my Kona Zing roadie to a burly 40-lb. Norco Six freeride mountain bike.
