Yakima 4 Bike Hitch Mount Rack DoubleDown

Yakima DoubleDown 4 - A review year

Purchased this product a year ago. Rack is used for road and mountain bikes, all frames are of different shapes and sizes. safe storage of bikes without damaging them. Wheels do not move when all the straps are used. Well built unit heavy. Very little wear after a year of use. arm folding and fold the mast and characteristic work. individual bike cradles are movable and adjustable to any image or spacing between bikes. Folding mast allows access to back door (Jeep Cherokee) without any problem. I even pulled down with bikes to the access door (not recommended, but it will work). Previously the owner of a Yakima rack mount was good, but it is a much better product by far. Also Bought lock for hitch pin that works. I highly recommend this product.

Yakima Bike Hitch 5-DoubleDown Rack Mount

This is certainly a quality product but it was not cheap either. Everything about him as the arms are folded, and tile features worked very well. My only problem with this became 24 my girl "bike through both arms and mount points. Mount points are very well done an incredible job. The bike is really not swing. Carpets and paving the mountains is an excellent job of finishing does not damage the bike (unlike my bike rack before).

I have not tried to mount 5 bike on this rack, I can not give an opinion on how it works with 5 bikes. However, I had 3 bikes on it and it seems that I could easily ride a bike 4, but it will take to get a bike made it fifth. So for those who come have 3 to 4 bikes treat, I recommend getting this model 5-bike because it will be easier for you to deal with.

Good rack

I had this stand for about a month and took a couple of long trips (200 + miles) and a number of trips around the city. The major advantage is that the rack holds the bike very stable and secure high speed. We climbed a bit in the warmer months and rack allows easy access to the rear hatch when closed, it is possible to leave all the time which is convenient. It is quite heavy, lifting and lowering the car is not easy. Standard road bike frames (frames with diamonds) and off with ease. Get bicycle part geometries with non-standard (very common for ATVs) on and off can be a challenge. You can not fit five images nonstandard existence, but three fine adjustment.

It was not cheap after including the installation of the pin and buy a bolt for it, but I am very happy with the rack and I would give him a recommendation, if you bicycle transportation of diamonds and you want stable and secure rack.

Ideal for short distances, not great for road use.
