This is the best rack I've ever owned. It is stout, easy to load, and secure. It looks cool, too, mounted on the back of my 2012 Yaris! Ordered on a Friday, rack arrived MONDAY! It took maybe 15 minutes to assemble, directions were great, easy to follow. This is a great bargain for a no-frills bike carrier. I highly recommend it. I ride 4 times a week at Gulf Shores State Park BACKCOUNTRY TRAILS, and I see more Yakima carriers than any of the others because they represent a good value, are easy to use, and they secure the bike extremely well during transport. Plus.....they're well assembled with smooth-ground welds, were given an excellent paint job, quality all around. The straps are really thick and their attachment is well designed, holding the bike in place without any concerns or second-thoughts. Happy biking!!!!

I own the double down and the bighorn. Both racks very similar, however the bighorn is much better for sedans as it curves up immediately from the hitch instead of extending out horizontally, I would scrape in and out of driveways with the double down, but do not with the bighorn.

We bought and returned 2 bike racks before buying theYakima BigHorn. The previous racks did not have the stability that the BigHorn has. We a very satisfied with the BigHorn rack. Easy installation. We feel very confident that our bikes are safe and stable on this rack.

Although I haven't used mine to haul yet, I have hooked it up to both the vehicle and the bike. It wobbles a bit when mounted on the vehicle (1 1/4inch hitch), but this may be due to the elbow joint I needed to make my hitch operable. Overall, it's a very nice bike rack. The only problem I've had is that my bike is a hybrid, which due to its upright frame, makes it difficult to mount. I've found that it's actually easier to mount backward on this equipment. The unit moves away from the trunk area nicely, and I don't foresee any problems.

The bike rack arrived quickly and in good condition, as promised. Assembly was easy. I have only used the unit twice so it's difficult to evaluate how it will hold up long term, but it seems to be well made, and there are no problems at this point. I bought the unit to use with an older model Yakima ski/snowboard rack and it is working very well so far. The skis and snowboards stay where you put them and the entire assembly does not rattle or move around too much. I am currently using this rack on the back of my Dodge Caravan, but I like the fact that I can easily move it to any other vehicle with a 2" receiver hitch. I would recommend this product to others.

Not too difficult to install. Instructions are not 100% clear on attaching the Hitch Pin - was able to figure it out. Spring washer and washer on Pin. Pin through hitch. Tighten. Push on rubber sleeve (this was not in the instructions), then install pin at the end. Was able to load up two adult bikes and 2 children bikes without problems. So far so good. I haven't loaded it up yet and taken it on the road, but I have a 13 hour road trip coming up - then we'll see how it performs.

The Yakima BigHorn Bike Rack provides an economical easy to assemble way for my family to transport all of our bikes on vacation. The bike rack showed up a few days after I ordered it and took me about 20 minutes to assemble and install on my 1997 Pathfinder. It easily hold two adult and two children's bikes. It takes about a minute to install and remove from the trailer hitch. Sturdy construction, reasonable price and easy to install. What's not to like?
