Feast your eyes on our first-ever fork rack with direct-to-factory crossbar capability right out of the box. It featured quick and easy tool-free installation, and it’s compatible with most disc brakes. Sleek design and automotive finish looks extremely spiffy on your vehicle. Secure and lockable skewer with integrated adjustment knob for single-handed, easy access (SKS lock cores sold separately). Easy-to-adjust sliding wheel tray makes positioning the rear wheel a snap. Fits round, square and most factory crossbars out of the box.

borrowed from friend
Strengths:
Tool-less design for install, nothing to trim to fit Thule rectangular bars, Skewer easy to adjust to a Stumpjumper fork. Mount shaped for universal fitment
Weaknesses:
Front clamp install is a little tedious to install when a fairing is already there.
Skewer can be a pain to open. You need to reach behind & push the skewer open.

Bottom Line:
Installed on Yak bars. Haven't tried other factory bars, but the clamps do look to be similar in design (shape) to Yak Skyboxes for universal fitment. So, if you're going to buy a Fork mount from Yakima, just get the Forklift. If you buy another car, SUV, or wagon, the forklift will work on that also (or a friend needs to borrow it). I personally prefer keeping the front wheel on, that's why I have the HighRoller.
