Owning a carbon frame bike does have its issues. The main one after cost is how do you carry the bike on a car without clamping onto the frame. In the UK the choice is fairly limited and centres around two main roof mounted solutions. The first is the Yakima Highroad that we are looking at here and the second is the Thule UpRide.
Both of these systems clamp onto the front wheel/tyre and have no contact with the frame . As frame designs have progressed, some MTB frames have a lower shock position, being able to clamp a bike securely (carbon or not) has become more difficult.
