I just bought a 2015 Trek Verve 2. Front forks won't fit my older Yakima system. Is the Viper designed for the wider forks on modern day bikes?

Depends on the bike manufacturer, some people need to buy to viper fork adapter. This is an item that if your not sure about you need to go to your local store that carries Yakima and get some help.

Yes, I have used the Viper for both road and mtn bikes with and without disk brakes.

You're going to want to check out Yakima's website. They instruct you on what system to buy for what car. It's pretty straight forward. Bars should work for any bike.

I had the mt 90 which was a 130-90-16. the sidewall is huge and the tread does not wrap far enough to lean the bike. I took mine off after 1000 miles and will never put it back on. id go avon cobra/ venom. commander at this size is waste of money

Sorry Mike....I'm a novice. I can tell you that it fit my Trek 1.1 like a glove. Not sure what shifters/brakes I have. Happy Trails!

probably not.I used this handlebar on a Trek 7.4 FX. It had Shimano Acera brake levers and shifters.You could probably use most shifters and brake levers that are found on bikes with straight handlebars.I don't think typical road bike brake levers would work with this handlebar.

I had this same problem, the forks were too wide. I had to manually bend them (carefully) so they properly snapped in. It's been fine ever since.

I bought it for my KHS tandem bike for the stoker(person.on the back). I think the bike is from the late 90's and it fit. The handlebars allow you to sit more upright, but they are very wide. They stick.outside to aide more than my front handlebars. Hope some of that.info helps.

The Yakima fork lift will fit the current generation of Thule Aero style crossbars. The current generation Aeroblade crossbar has a tear drop shape, similar to a plane wing. See link below to view the style of the current Aeroblade crossbar. http://www.rackattack.com/product-pages/thule-arb53-53-inch-aeroblade-load-bars.asp

I would contact Yakima support. Being an owner of the Viper, it sure seems like it could easily hold 90mm.

No! I have a trek 7.2 and the rails under the seat were close but they were most certainly NOT COMPATIBLE.

Hello Ryan, From what we could find on your bike's spec's this is the right fork for it. It would be a nice upgrade from the current Suntour fork if you have that on there now! - Worldwide Cyclery

But Im sure it will fit pefectly for Yakima also. Because there is nothing to be issued for fork grip type carrier.

I have a Gary Fisher Advance bike and I use a V type. Looking at a picture of the Trek 29er, it is set up like my bike so I would recommend the V. You may want to contact Topeak and confirm with them. They make great stuff! I am in deep with Topeak!

Good day, the Tour Rack is designed to be compatible with nearly all bikes. The Verve 3 appears to be a standard hybrid style bike, so there should not be any fitment issues. Thanks!

There are several versions of this product to support standard forks, over sized forks and tapered forks. I would double check the Slipstreamer website for compatibility. I also had this concern, but it fit my 2011 Honda Shadow 750 RS perfectly.

The Yakima mount on the Copperhead is basically a quick release. If your front wheel goes on and of with a quick release, and from the looks of your manual that is the case,then this should fir your bike. Goofy question, but why don't you call Yakima.? Their customer service is excellent.

Yes, I use the Viper for my two road bikes, one carbon frame and one steel frame. They both survived a trip across the country with no problems.
