"To find the best roof bike racks, we rounded up a selection of nine different models to test and compare. From the top-rated Yakima HighRoad to the high-end Kuat Piston SR, we've got recommendations to suit your rooftop bike-carrying needs. Editor's Note: This guide was relocated from our sister site, GearJunkie.com, on December 5, 2025, and updated to include the Allen Smart Suction Rack and the SeaSucker Talon MAX."
"At Bikerumor, we like riding straight from the house whenever possible, but like you, we often drive with our bikes before starting our rides. Having a quality rack to safely and securely transport our precious bikes is a crucial part of our transportation equation. Not only do we want our bikes to avoid damage during transit, but we also appreciate a rack that is easy to use, stable, and aesthetically pleasing."
Roof bike racks transport bicycles safely and securely on vehicle roofs, keeping them out of the way of trunks and rear hatches. Rooftop-style racks have declined in popularity, yet current models have improved in quality and design. Roof racks offer a practical alternative to installing a tow hitch and can supplement hitch-rack capacity. Crossbars that support bike racks also accept other racks for varied outdoor gear, enabling customization of an adventure rig. Nine different models were tested and compared, with options ranging from the Yakima HighRoad to the high-end Kuat Piston SR, plus newer additions like the Allen Smart Suction Rack and SeaSucker Talon MAX.
