Question: I just bought a 2015 Trek Verve 2.  Front forks won't fit my older Yakima system.  Is the Viper designed for the wider forks on modern day bikes?
Document: Yep- Rockin Yakima! I trust a $6500 Carbon Fiber Trek roadie and a $1500 Trek MTB to this thing. You can install w/ your eyes closed. Always remember to put a piece of masking tape above eye level on the inside of your windshield once bikes are mounted on top- this will remind you of just that- and help you avoid low clearance Taco Bell drive throughs! :-P
I used to have two Steelhead bike carriers but one was damaged during an unfortunate incident involving roof-mounted bikes and a low parking structure (ouch). I bought the Viper as it seemed like an upgrade, and I must say it's a bit more solidly build than the Steelhead, but there's a few things I don't like.I don't keep the racks on my truck all the time, only when I'm going biking.
I've been using Yakima Viper mounts since they were introduced, as well as the SprocketRocket. I love the Yakima products. I especially love the tool free mounting, whereas the competition uses a flat metalmplate held in with four nuts and bolts. Other brands seem outdated. One fellow mentioned that the trays and wheel strap don't quite fit his road bike wheel. To solve this, simply slide the wheel strap forward or rearward where it grabs the wheel a little higher up.
I was worried about the extra time it would take to remove the front tire and hoist everything on top of the car, but after a few times of doing it, I have found that it is faster to put bikes on this than on the trunk carrier.One minor complaint is that the cradle is a bit oversized for road bike tires, which means that you can not cinch the rear tire down completely.
Amazon soliciting a review a few months after a purchase is, in some cases, inappropriate. I would not expect this bike rack to need maintenance for several years, and the front wheel skewer is stout. Since I don't yet have much experience with the product, here are the reasons that I decided to buy this particular bike mount.1. Can be placed in fixed or adjustable setting. Fixed allows placing mount outside of towers.2. Compatible with disc brakes.3.
So I had the Thule Peleton and that BROKE leaving me on the rode with a bicycle I had to finagle into my packed car. I drove to an REI and picked out a Yakima Copperhead which I found to be flimsy (very thin plastic head covered hex bolts that could just be removed and the rack, along with the bicycle if you chose, is yours, thief). So I exchanged that for the Viper which seemed very much an upgrade over both models until you learn that the skewer is a problem!
All they need to do is unscrew the skewer, push the button and viola, it's is yours, thief. So, in summary, the Thule Peleton is almost theft proof (with a locking core). The Yakima Copperhead, along with the Viper are easily stolen (Copperhead with a bike, Viper without a bike). I would look into Rocky Mounts, but then I've have to buy expensive locking cores for that brand when I already own locking cores for both Thule and Yakima.
That's what I did and I managed to fit it in nice and snuggly. It is actually now perfect back there. But I took off a star for Yakima's lack of a rim cushion. I gave it a star back for trying what with less plastic and what have you.
Adjustable skewer. I am not sure, but it may also be larger at 9 mm than other skewers.All of this info can be gathered by comparing models on Yakimas website. You may also consider models that fit directly on to your car's factory crossbars (if equiped).
I just got back from a week camping trip in the Adirondacks with this unit. It hauled my Gary Fisher Kaitai perfectly. I used it backwards so I could have my girlfriends bike and the canoe on top as well. It's easy to use but you must read the instructions so you know how to set it depending on whether or not it's outside the towers. I drove about 450 miles doing around 60-68 mph on winding roads and never had an issue. This rack is good for bikes with disc brakes.
