I crossed from Quebec to Vancouver and cam back through Utah ALL THE WAY back to the east coast with the Talon on my Chevy Volt. I definitely recommend the Seasucker.
@@395irok guilty secret :) thought bolt was pure electric ? Still would love to come do road trip like that again. I live in west Scotland and enjoy long trips like that . Will see if can find and sea sucker products on special , I'm not to bothered getting just a bike one, maybe a roof rack one and have a roof box on electric ladyland (my leaf)
Awesome. I was hesitant to buy the kit, but after reading that you drove at length with no issues I am definitely leaning towards the SeaSucker over a Thule system. It really not any more expensive than a top mount bike rack system if one is starting from scratch.
Perfect, I have several cars I don't know what I want to take now I don't need to worry, these things just seem smarter, safer and longer lasting than the competition
I just bought one of these as I had limited options for my Mercedes. The panels were too tight for a trunk rack, and I don't want to put an ugly trailer hitch on it. This looked like a good fit. After watching lots of reviews I decided to try it out.
I have also used them for the longest time. Only issue I’ve had was leaving the rear wheel single sucker on without a bike and it came off on a 50 mile drive
Hi Andy, how does the talon hold up when going from sea level to let's say mammoth mtn. I notice the suction cup cell phone holders loose their suck based on elevation change. I'd imagine the same to be of these bike racks?
So what kind of security is available with the SeaSucker? I travel up and down the west coast often stay at hotels. Should I worry about a theft over night leaving on my car?
Hi Andy, I'm looking at using the suction mechanism for a university project of mine. Do you know roughly how long it is advised for the SeaSuckers to be mounted before replacement? and do they lose pressure overtime? if so how long before they should be re-pumped?
So what do you do when you get to the location and remove your bike? Do you take the rack off the car, then put it back on when you’re done with the ride? Basically: you can’t leave it on your car cause anyone can theoretically just pop it off, right?
Theoretically, yes. But in 11 years it’s never happened. I just leave the rack on the car, but yeah - it’s super easy to remove and reinstall if you park in a sketchy spot.
I replaced because they wouldn’t hold suction, and the buttons wouldn’t stay all the way down (the orange band would fully show). Usually that means there’s a small hole or crack in the rubber. It just happens over time.
Andy, thanks for all the great content. Just curious - why did you decide to mount the rack on the rear window and trunk versus using the glass sunroof and rooftop?
Chris S thanks, man. The rearward mount is lower, and accessible with my feet on the ground. I’d also like to be able to open the roof when I’m driving! 😜
This is perfect for my Miata.this is still way cheaper than install hitch cost $300+ additional bike rack cost anywhere $300-$500. Depending what brand your using. I came close of buying product but I was hesitant due to safety issue. Last thing I’m worrying about my bike would be flying to someone’s windshield. In the future definitely I’ll go with this route.
Hi nice review, did you ever have problems from the cars front or rear windshield when you attach the Seasucker and bike to it? I just worry that with the bike weight and fast airflow from the speed could cause strong pulling pressure on the windshield that could affect it! Cheers
Thanks for sharing!! I would love to use the SeaSucker Suction Cup outside on my sunroof for my GoPro while going through Utah and Colorado next month but, I'm afraid it could potentially crack the glass pumping it up. What's your thoughts? Thanks again! 👍
You mention that some parts (like the vacuum cups) need to be replaced over time. Is there something obvious that tells you when they need to be replaced (short of your bike flying off the back?) or a recommended lifespan?
lifespan will vary based on your climate, and like any rubber product you will be able to see dry rot or cracking, and it’ll feel less supple than it did new.
My biggest hesitation with this setup is switching between mtn bike and road bike easily. Looks like you came up with a solution for that with your dual quick release setup. Can you detail what you did/had to purchase to set that up?
Just received my mini bomber today. The pump nipple that does the sucking, was delivered to me broken off, so already had to use the spare. Additionally, the suction cup itself does not hold its suction. I’ve sent them an email and called, but no reply yet. Literally tried everything to get it to work (cleaning, taking apart, everything) but the cup does not want to hold its suction (all other cups work fine).
ive had mine for a while, no issues, although i notice when i put them on dry they tend to not suck up, should i just add a tiny bit of water onto them?
Thanks for this video. I finally get to mount my Talon on my Tesla Model 3 roof. It was only a short trip from the store to my home about 15 miles. Though I watched the instructions videos and RUclips videos such as yours many times, It still doesn't give me enough confidence to continue using it. The other thing that bothers me is that there is no option to keep it locked in case I have to stop for a coffee while leaving my vehicle behind. My 2cs
It's been a while since you originally posted, but I just purchased the SeaSucker Board Rack for my BMW i3. I'ld been carting around my kayak and windsurfing board with the rear hatch open. The roof is uniform and 44" across at the front and the windshield is slightly wider. Rear is 39" wide, and the entire back end is glass. I'm thinking about the Talon two pack and how many of these things I could get on my car at once, LOL. It's an electric serial hybrid car (I normally add gas every hour of driving on road trips) but guess I won't get as far with the roof loaded up, and given the paltry charging network here in Wisconsin. So probably not ever going to need it all on top at once. But please, pretty please, couldn't I?
Hey Andy, hope you and your family are well. Coincidently, I was considering this rack for my car/bike a couple of months ago. My only hestiation was that it might degrade the finish. In your vid, you state that it will not. That's great. But was there ANY degradation whatsoever, even minimal? Thanks man!
for future reference, my car has aluminum panels and I modified the rack to mount it fully on the rear windshield, to mitigate any risk of panel dents or warping
Currently have a hitch mount on my car. I’m buying a challenger 392 and said “oh crap how am I gonna carry my bike”. Looks like this’ll be a good solution
Bucky Sanders NICE! There aren’t enough tires in the world for me to have one of those. I’d be sliding around every corner in town like Clarkson and the Stig!
1. How do you remove them, is it recommended to just keep on and keep repumping or just put on when you're going to bike? 2. What is to stop someone from stealing it if they are left on?
It’s super easy to remove, so in light of that Seasucker sells an aftermarket lock system if you’re going to leave it up there. www.seasucker.com/products/cable-anchor-window-lock-combo
Both are fine, I have a 2021 Outback now and I put it on top toward the front. I mounted it like this on the Acura because it wasn’t as noisy - the cups hold equally well on glass and metal.
Could a Hornet - Hatchback/SUV Bike Rack be used on a Tesla model 3 , I’m keen to avoid taking the ground wheel off as I’m a mountain biker so the wheel be filthy when I’d be finished
Possibly, but you'll have to experiment with the strap that holds the rear of the bike. I would double check with SeaSucker here: www.seasucker.com/pages/contact-us
I didn’t even think of rental car possibly. If i find an unexpected day off on travel i can rent a bike and take it places. Sometimes i dont get say in what car i get to rent. Good idea on that hornet.
I live in Tucson AZ. This last week we were sunny all week with temps above 110. Is the high temps and direct sun going to be a problem with the rack? during the day when the rack is stored in the car with the excessive temps that come with being locked in the car, will be be ok to go straight onto the car?
Same conditions in Temecula last time I used mine, and no problems at all! I don’t keep mine in the car though, it’s on a shelf in the garage when not in use
Will these racks work on a pop up tent trailer top? I have a 1994 Coleman Fleetwood. The surface is flat but has some texture to it. These look like a great option.
No, they won’t work on a textured surface, but you can mount to the rear window and rest the wheels on your bumper. They make another rack called The Hornet that’s specifically designed for that www.seasucker.com/products/hornet
SkubySnak Shack I can’t remember, it’s been so long ago. I seem to recall pulling some longer screws out of my toolbox, though. The newer models have an all-in-one axle system though.
@@AndyClarkRealReviews Thanks. I've had my Talon since 2011, so it only came with the QR. I just picked up a MTB with thru axle and thought your setup was nice, vice having to keep switching out the attachments...
Hi Andy.. Great video.. Just have a question.. Wanted to mount inside a320 cockpit aircraft as I wanna record my flight inside the cockpit while I fly so will it hold while flying..?
@@AndyClarkRealReviews yes Andy, I want to mount go pro inside the cockpit using the sea Sucker.. So will sea Sucker hold go pro all the time during the flight or it can fall off?
I haven’t used their GoPro mount, so I can’t say for sure but my guess (based on carrying 25 pound bikes on the outside of a car at 80mph for 1-10 hours at a time) is that it’ll hold!
No. No one does that. Any failure you experience will be human error, not equipment. I just drove up a twisty mountain road at warp speed with the Hornet and the bike didn’t budge.
I just purchased a c8 2021 corvette, I have always had a 2 inch hitch rack. I don't want to damage my car. What can you tell me to make me to feel at ease having this rac on my car. Need help getting a back rack,is this the one for me.
Well there’s two sides of me here that are in serious conflict: The car guy in me is saying “why the hell would you put a bike rack of ANY kind on that beautiful car??” And the pragmatic bike nerd in me is saying “just get the sea sucker and you’ll be good to go.”Seriously - they have guys putting them on Mclaren‘s and Ferraris and Lamborghinis all day long. Check out their site and their Insta. But TBH I think the car guy voice is winning, and if I had a car like that I’d have a hard time sticking a rack on it. Buy yourself a beater SUV or just ride from your house and keep that C8 looking good!!
Has anyone ever reported a bike falling off? Is there any sort of warranty if that happens due to a malfunction? I would be scared to bust up my 3,000 Cervelo bike if it came off driving down the highway or any road.
My typical highway speed is around 80, and as mentioned in the review I've driven several hours at a time with a bike on the rack. Same holds true for the 2-bike rack I'm currently using.
Thanks for being the guinea pig for the cyclists of the world. I've always used dedicated systems that mount on crossbars, but I find myself needing something I can travel with that fits on any car. If you trust it with your Cervelo, I feel better about trusting it with my precious carbon bikes.
My issue is that you always have to take off the front wheel. I wish they had a rack you didn’t need to do that. I ride Downhill so zero quick release.
Save yourself over $100.00 and Go with Rocbros suction cups bike mount. Works the same for a lot less $$. been using Rocbros for 2 yrs now and has not done me wrong. There is nothing reasonably priced about Seasucker
applaud to you, for put up with stupid humans who cant even design a simple thing. i wouldnt even buy something so stupid, it takes removing the front wheel. whats the point of having a rack for an item, if you still have to use the trunk for that same item.
10 freaking years!! WoW, I’m convinced and I now have confidence that my talon will be with me for the rest of my days on planet earth. 👍🏼
UrAsiaticBrothafromAnotherMotha yep. Solid stuff, brother. They’re sending me a 2-up to test next.

I picked up the Talon not that long ago, only a few local drives, but this is a relief. Hoping I don't have any issues, but this video is reassuring.

Erik Bielitzer great question, but the highest I’ve been is only about 4000ft. I didn’t notice any loss of suction, though.
So what kind of security is available with the SeaSucker? I travel up and down the west coast often stay at hotels. Should I worry about a theft over night leaving on my car?
Yeah, you should but that’s what’s so great: it’s light and compact and easy to remove and re-install the next morning.
Great video and information. Just to let you know that each suction cup can hold up to 210lbs not the combined three.
Jai Grieve Thanks! Math has never been my strong suit. 😬
Hi Andy, I'm looking at using the suction mechanism for a university project of mine. Do you know roughly how long it is advised for the SeaSuckers to be mounted before replacement? and do they lose pressure overtime? if so how long before they should be re-pumped?
that's a better question for Seasucker than me. Try info@seasucker.com
Andy, do you know anything about putting these on a completely vertical surface? Like the back of a fiberglass smooth camper?
Not recommended!
Hi Andy, how do they hold in heavy rain conditions? If the surface is wet before installing, can you still confidently use the rack?
The wetter the better! The suction cups were originally designed for boating applications.
So what do you do when you get to the location and remove your bike? Do you take the rack off the car, then put it back on when you’re done with the ride? Basically: you can’t leave it on your car cause anyone can theoretically just pop it off, right?
Theoretically, yes. But in 11 years it’s never happened. I just leave the rack on the car, but yeah - it’s super easy to remove and reinstall if you park in a sketchy spot.

Shouldn't be a problem - the suction cups are designed for both painted surfaces and windshields/windows/glass.
You mention that some parts (like the vacuum cups) need to be replaced over time. Is there something obvious that tells you when they need to be replaced (short of your bike flying off the back?) or a recommended lifespan?

Great review, I have a cervelo with Rat thru-axles, does the supplied thru-axles work or do you use you cervelo axles? Thx!

I just got these and am super sketched to drive on the freeway lol
Don't be! I drive like a B out of H and have never lost a bike.
I’ve taken a 100 mile drive doing 80mph+ the whole way with this thing and no issues 👍🏼
My biggest hesitation is someone just popping them off easily to steal
There’s a fix for that!

I installed mine today and tested it around it fell over and dented the side of my car
That's not good! Did you figure out what went wrong?
3000 miles. Gg ez
Save yourself over $100.00 and Go with Rocbros suction cups bike mount. Works the same for a lot less $$. been using Rocbros for 2 yrs now and has not done me wrong. There is nothing reasonably priced about Seasucker
If you ceramic coat or polish and wax your car those cups will never stick;)
I wax my cars 3-4 times per year, no issues.
As a guy who pants cars I would NOT trust that thing lol
You make pants for cars? That’s peculiar.
applaud to you, for put up with stupid humans who cant even design a simple thing.
i wouldnt even buy something so stupid, it takes removing the front wheel.
whats the point of having a rack for an item, if you still have to use the trunk for that same item.
They offer a front wheel accessory, I just don’t have one.
