Description

When it comes to carrying around your prized 2-wheelers, always bet on Yakima. Now, with the introduction of their DoubleDown Bike Rack, you don’t need a massive bankroll to equip your ride with Yakima. More Monte Carlo than Atlantic City, the DoubleDown deals up premium quality at nickel-slot rates.

At the heart of your Yakima DoubleDown Bike Rack is the standard SwitchBlade cradle technology. These anti-sway seats for your bikes stop shifting and rubbing while you drive. What’s more, you can pull the TriggerFinger to fold the arms down flush when you’re not hauling cycles. For quick access to your cargo, the DoubleDown also tilts forward.

And, the Yakima DoubleDown offers more options than a craps table. You can go with a 2-bike, 4-bike or 5-bike model depending on how many bicycles you need to carry. The RocSteady hitch tongue licks sway and fits into both 1 1/4" and 2” receivers. Yakima also built a bottle opener into your DoubleDown, and backs it with a Lifetime Warranty.

Love this rack

"We use this rack several times each week and it works wonderfully. I was a little concerned about it at first as it wiggled more than I liked. We tightened up the bolts and that helped quite a bit. We really like how we can fold the rack down out of the way to access the back, as well as how we can fold down the arms. I also like that we will be able to use this rack on my car with it's 1-1/4" receiver and on our truck with it's 2" receiver. We've never have had a problem with this rack and we would highly recommend it!"

"This is a great bike rack. The adjustable angle strap mounts prevent the bikes from swaying during transport. The only downside to this hitch mount bike rack is that it requires a bolt to mount to the vehicle's hitch which takes some time to install with a ratchet, however this bolt also reduces wobble in the hitch while mounted to the car. I like to remove the rack from my car during daily commuting so I would prefer some type of a quick release instead of the bolt that requires what seems to be 100 turns until it is tight. Otherwise this is a great bike rack."

"Once assembled, it was very easy to use. We liked the fact that we could access the rear of our car. The bikes could go on and off fairly easily. Once we got a Yakima lock we were able to lock the rack to the hitch. A universal lock did not work. With the ladies bike we have, an extra bar was not needed. We are pleased with the rack, but are not sure that 4 bikes would go on this 4 bike rack."

Great buy!

"Found this online for cheaper than what I would have paid in store. Overall, this rack is great. Only issue we had was with transporting a woman's bike - we needed to buy a bike frame adaptor so the rack could carry my wife's bike (it cost around $30 bucks). Bikes are held securely on rack. Easy to put on and take off. Looking forward to using it for many years."
