The YD10-017/018/019/020 series vehicle bike racks are multi-specification solutions designed to address the pain points of "inconvenient bike carrying during family/group trips, complicated installation of traditional racks, and easy vehicle scratching". With "precise vehicle adaptation + safe locking + convenient operation" as the core, they cover the need to carry 1-4 bikes, balance lightweight portability and heavy-load stability, and provide flexible options for different travel scenarios. Their core advantages are as follows:
- Multi-Specification Coverage, Adapting to Different Bike-Carrying Needs
- Single/Dual-Person Short-Distance Scenarios (YD10-018): Made of lightweight aluminum alloy (only 6.5kg), it can carry 1 bike and is suitable for installation on the car trunk or roof. Even women can easily carry and install it, making it ideal for urban commuting and weekend single-person cycling;
- Family/Small Group Scenarios (YD10-017/019): Both support carrying 3 bikes. YD10-019 focuses on "extreme portability" with an ultra-light weight of 3.5kg, suitable for self-driving to suburban cycling; YD10-017 uses carbon steel to enhance stability, compatible with different types of bikes such as mountain bikes and road bikes;
- Multi-Person Group Scenarios (YD10-020): Supports carrying 4 bikes. The 890mm extended frame can fix multiple bikes at the same time, suitable for group activities such as bike club outings and company team building, eliminating the need for multiple vehicles to transport bikes in batches.
- Locking Mechanism + Protective Design, Dual Safety Guarantee
- Stable Vehicle Locking: The entire series is equipped with a universal locking mechanism, which can be tightly connected to the car trunk hooks, roof racks, or trailer hitches. With a locking force ≥800N, the rack does not shake when driving at high speeds (≤120km/h), avoiding the risk of falling;
- Scratch-Proof Protection: YD10-017/020 are covered with 5mm-thick anti-slip rubber pads at the contact points between the rack and the vehicle, while YD10-018/019 use silicone protective sleeves. These effectively isolate metal friction, preventing scratches on the vehicle paint and bike frames, and are compatible with high-end cars and carbon fiber bikes.
- 10-Minute Quick Installation, No Professional Tools Needed
The entire series adopts a combined installation design of buckles and knobs, no wrenches, screwdrivers, or other professional tools required:
- When installing on the roof/trunk, fix the base bracket with quick buckles and adjust the tightness via knobs;
- When loading bikes, the adjustable fixing bracket (compatible with bike wheel diameters of 20-29 inches) clamps the wheels in 3 seconds, and straps assist in fixing the bike frame. A single person can complete the installation, which is 200% more efficient than traditional bolt-fixed racks (which take more than 30 minutes to install).
- Balance Between Lightweight and Durability, Suitable for Multi-Scenario Use
- Lightweight Design: YD10-018/019 are made of aluminum alloy, weighing only 6.5kg and 3.5kg respectively. They can be folded (for some models) when stored, without occupying too much trunk space, making them suitable for small-family storage;
- Durable Structure: The carbon steel of YD10-017/020 shows no rust in 120-hour salt spray tests, and can be used for a long time in outdoor environments with rain and sun exposure, with a service life of 5-6 years, suitable for complex scenarios such as off-road self-driving.

Family Weekend Suburban Cycling (YD10-019)
A family of three drives a Honda CR-V (SUV) to suburban cycling, carrying 2 mountain bikes and 1 children's bike with the YD10-019 rack: The 3.5kg lightweight design is easily installed on the roof, 3 bikes are fixed via adjustable brackets, and silicone protective sleeves prevent scratching the roof paint; Disassembly is completed in 5 minutes after arrival, adapting to the "family lightweight bike-carrying" scenario and improving travel convenience.
-
Bike Club Group Activity (YD10-020)
A 10-person bike club drives to a cycling route by car, with 2 SUVs each equipped with a YD10-020 rack: Each rack carries 4 road bikes, the extended frame distributes weight evenly, and the locking mechanism ensures stability during high-speed driving; There is no need to rent an additional transport vehicle, adapting to the "efficient multi-person group bike-carrying" scenario and reducing activity costs.
-
Single-Person Urban Commuting (YD10-018)
An office worker drives a Volkswagen Lavida (sedan) and carries a folding bike to commute every day (the company parking lot is far, so a bike is needed for the last leg), using the YD10-018 rack: The 6.5kg weight allows quick installation on the trunk, and fixing 1 folding bike does not affect the normal use of the trunk; It is easily stored after disassembly after work, adapting to the "convenient short-distance commuting with bikes" scenario and solving the "last kilometer" problem.
-
Off-Road Self-Driving with Bikes (YD10-017)
An off-road enthusiast drives a Great Wall Haval H9 to ride on unpaved wild roads, carrying 3 mountain bikes with the YD10-017 rack: The carbon steel material resists wild bumps, the anti-slip rubber pads are firmly fixed to the trunk hitch, and the rack and bikes do not shift even when passing through gravel roads; It adapts to the "stable bike-carrying in complex road conditions" scenario and ensures the safety of equipment.
A1: Some models are compatible; the corresponding installation method should be selected. YD10-018/019 support hatchback trunk installation (connected to the trunk edge via dedicated hooks) without a roof rack, and can be directly compatible with Tesla Model 3; YD10-017/020 need to be used with roof racks. If your vehicle has no roof rack, it is recommended to prioritize YD10-018 (1-bike model) or YD10-019 (3-bike model). Before installation, confirm the trunk edge thickness (compatible range: 15-30mm).
A2: No, the lightweight design does not affect stability. Although YD10-019 is only 3.5kg, it adopts a "high-strength aluminum alloy + triangular support structure" with a frame torsional strength of 300N·m, and the connection force between the locking mechanism and the vehicle is ≥800N. When carrying 3 ordinary mountain bikes (total weight approx. 45kg), there is no shaking when driving at high speeds (≤100km/h); tests show that its stability is equivalent to that of YD10-017 (carbon steel material), and only needs to reduce the speed to below 60km/h on extremely bumpy roads (such as continuous potholes).
A3: It can be solved by adding protective parts to avoid subsequent scratches. First, use car paint repair agent to treat existing marks; then contact the manufacturer to purchase dedicated thickened rubber protective pads (priced at 20 yuan/set) and stick them on key contact parts between the rack and the vehicle (such as bracket edges, buckle bottoms); ensure the rack fits tightly but not tightly with the vehicle during installation to avoid friction caused by vibration during driving. It is recommended to check whether the protective pads are loose every week before subsequent use.
A4: No, it complies with legal requirements. The product size of YD10-020 is 890×390×870mm. After carrying 4 26-inch bikes, the overall width is approx. 1.8m (including the width of bike handlebars), which is far below the legal upper limit of 2.5m. During installation, adjust the bike handlebars to the same direction (e.g., all left/right) to avoid excessive lateral protrusion of the handlebars. At the same time, ensure the bikes are firmly fixed to the rack to prevent the handlebars from shaking and increasing the width during driving.
