Yakima Double Down Reviews

Pros: Has a seatpost strap to help prevent the bikes from swinging around (but at highway speeds my two bikes still found each other). Bikes mount quickly and securely. It fits onto my jeep liberty withou the need for an extender! The gate can't open but I can still get in my glass.

Cons: The adapter that allows for mounting into a 2" hitch is aluminium and has a loose fit. Might have to replace the spaced in a few years. Sam Adams beer botttle caps cannot be opened with the beer opener! The lock kit is good to secure at the hitch but the cable will only be able to lock the bike at the end of the poles, so I use a cable lock around the main post when I haul 1 bike close to the vehicle.

Recommendation: Buy this rack to confidently haul your bikes and not for opening your beers.

Pros: Great product for all bikes. When not biking its in my toolbox of my truck. Easy to mount and easy to put bikes on. I have backed into light poles with this rack and let me tell you the light pole lost.

Cons: Loose in the mount.

Recommendation: All Bikes

Pros: Very sturdy, easy to use and mount.

Cons: Hitch tightener looses up after a while with heavy load.

Recommendation: I drag my bikes all over the country with this rack with no worries. Very sturdy.

Pros: Much simpler to collapse than other racks.

The straps used to secure the bikes are simple to use.

The consumption of post-ride brews is made easier with bottle openers at the ends of the folding arms.

Recommendation: The best part of this rack is how easily it tilts away from the back of the vehicle. It makes life easier if you're bringing your bike along with you on a trip. It's also a great rack for quick trips to the trail because you can leave the rack on and it's never in the way.
