Roof carriers (Mounting with a roof system or to your vehicle pre-existing factory rack system) have many advantages. Roof systems offer the most options and can usually carry many bikes (up to 4 or more in most cases). These systems will mount to either your vehicle doors or your factory rack and can carry up to the limit for your car – the instruction will give your specific limits. Beyond bike options, roof system can allow you to carry other items, such as luggage boxes, skis, boats, ect. While providing the most flexibility and options, roof systems can take more time to mount, and you’ll need to watch out for low garage heights!
