Bottom line
SeaSucker's Bomber is a fork-mount roof rack that fixes to vehicles using vacuum suction. The Mini Bomber carries two 45lb bikes; the standard Bomber carries three. Adapters are available for all common fork standards. Experts appreciate the easy installation and removal and the stability of mounted bikes. However, loading bikes can be tricky. The size and low weight make the Bomber ideal for transportation. The rack's suction should be checked frequently. Though expensive, experts feel the Bomber's quality construction makes it a solid roof rack option.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
