The KTOP Bike Rack is a new take on the automotive bicycle roof rack that will provide riders with a more convenient and safer experience when shifting their bike between locations. The rack works by having bikes maintain a horizontal securement onto roof rails, which will drastically reduce clearance needs when driving as well as in public or private parking garages. This also supports greater security by preventing bikes from shifting when driving over uneven or off-grid terrain.
The KTOP Bike Rack can be locked with a key to further enhance security when driving in populated areas and is great for riders of all kinds. The rack also keeps a car's safety systems functional for better security on the roads.
