“Very good for road bikes. Not good for full suspension mountain bikes. Very well built. However I think the literature needs to be more open that almost all full suspension mountain bikes will need a tube adapter. I fell into this because all my previous bike racks have been workable with my mountain bikes, so I was surprised that this recently designed top of the line rack from Yakima -simply was not workable.”

“This is a typical Yakima product: well designed, well engineered, and extremely well built. The swing away feature allows me to climb into my truck bed/camper shell without removing the bike. Swinging the rack out and back is EXTREMELY easy, and the rack, when installed properly, is very stable. The "speed knob" for tightening the rack into the hitch receiver gets VERY difficult to turn as the anti-rattle wedge approaches desired fit to avoid rack rattle and "play". I use (and recommend) a "strap Wrench" to further tighten and loosen the speed knob, and I simultaneously rock the rack up and down for the anti-rattle wedge to seat fully. Also, the rack is VERY heavy and installing and removing it can be very difficult. I took a wooden "furniture dolly" with casters, and modified it to act as a "cart" to receive and store the rack in my garage. I wish I could post photos here! My Toyota Tacoma is heavy duty, but I expect installing this very heavy rack on a much lighter vehicle might weigh the back end of the car down, causing the front end of the car to rise, which can affect steering and handling.”

“Great bike rack. I received in about 3 business days from ordering. There was was a small amount of cosmetic damage and Rack Attack responded quickly and gave me a couple of options. This rack was available at many places for the same price, but the customer service that I received will make me a return buyer!”
