Yakima FlipSide 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack

Product Description


, Yakima Sprocket Rocket ">, Quickback Bike Rack ">, Yakima Raptor Aero Upright Bike Mount ">, Yakima DoubleDown 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack ">, The classic shuttle problemyou can take four bikes to the trailhead, but you can't get in to the back of your SUV. This is not the case with the folding Yakima Flipside 4 Bike Rack. Once you unload this Yakima rack, you can fold it 90-degrees to the right and get into the back of your rig. The Flipside's support bars also fold out of the way when you're not driving around without a bunch of bikes on the back. Yakima didn't stop there either. They planned ahead far enough to even add an integrated bottle opener for trailhead celebrations.Product Features
  • Bike Capacity: 4
  • Compatibility: 2in hitch, 1.25in hitch
  • Locks Included: no
  • Recommended Use: hauling bikes
  • Manufacturer Warranty: 1 year



This review is from: Yakima Flipside 4 Bike Rack (Sports)
This rack is extremely well built and mounts very solidly to the vehicle. integrated locks are a plus and save about $30 in "extras", including a hitch lock. mounting the bikes is relatively easy and they are pretty secure...4 bikes seems like a real stretch, but 3 easy.
PROBLEM: if you have small frame bikes (like my girlfriend's mountain bike) its like tetris+rubic's cube to get the bike onto the mount. A kids bike? forget it.
