Description

You don’t need a chainsaw to prune a bush, and you don’t need a professional bike rack for occasional weekend trips. That’s why Yakima developed the BigHorn. This bare-bones bike rack gives you a high-quality perch for up to 4 bikes, at a price that won’t make you wince with pain.

While keeping the BigHorn Bike Rack economical, Yakima did not skimp on the quality. The standard SwitchBlade anti-sway cradles keep your 2-wheelers from rubbing and bumping into each other while you drive. And, with the pull of a pin, you can tilt your Yakima BigHorn forward to get into your ride’s cargo area.

From road bikes to beach cruisers, the Yakima BigHorn can carry a wide range of cycles without using a tube adaptor. And, you can choose between the 1 1/4” or 2” hitch models for a perfect fit on your car, truck or SUV. Yakima also backs your BigHorn Bike Rack with a Lifetime Warranty.

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?
