Yakima RidgeBack Tilt Away Hitch Rack Holds for Cars, SUVs, Trucks

Bicycle rides are my families most favorite past time! But we are a large family with 2 adults 3 young adults and 2 tiny tots - getting that many bicycles loaded up has always been a challenge until now. YAKIMA RIDGEBACK TILT-AWAY HITCH BIKE RACK HOLDS 5 BIKES FOR CARS SUVS & TRUCKS saved us completely! This design is made to gracefully tilt out of the way when not in use ensuring you have access to your trunk space. Anti-sway cradles on board will help prevent the bikes that are mounted from clashing into one another. Simply attach to any 1.25 inch or 2 inch hitch receiver and enjoy the endless possibilities and adventures with your family and bicycles!

Very cool and sturdy item! It’s been a bit too cold for bike riding so we haven’t gotten to install it yet but it appears to be large enough and of good quality. We also really love the locking feature that gives added security. Can’t wait to use it all summer!

This fits easily into any standard hitch is strong and sturdy holds 5 full size bikes without problem. No assembly required. No fear of bikes coming loose during transportation.

This particular bike rack has a large capacity it’s extremely easy to install as it already comes pre installed. It feels extremely durable and holds in the bikes very securely. I will be getting the rod that goes on my bike to sit straight on the rack instead of being slanted I wish it came with it instead. It has a belt that ties from the tire to the rod of the bike so the steering wheel doesn’t move while sitting on the car while driving. This particular rack o my fits big bikes and not small children bikes. Overall I’m extremely happy with this bike rack. Disclaimer: I got this bike rack to try out for myself and give out my honest opinion.

This bike rack is pretty heavy so I definitely needed my husbands assistance in putting this on. I love that it can tilt back so I can access my trunk without having to remove the entire thing. It holds 5 bikes so we can travel with friends in one vehicle which is great. The only thing I didn’t realize was that for the type of bikes we have we did need to purchase the tube top for this rack to work for us(seen in the bike photo). My only complaint is that the decals are already peeling off as well.

I received this item from Influenster and Yakima free in exchange for my honest review.This 5 bike rack is really awesome! It's easy to install and heavy-duty built with 150 lbs. capacity. I can easily put bikes on and secure them in place with the zipstrip straps it can with. Has anti-sway cradles to prevent bikes from touching one another. Love that the rack tilts down for easy access to the car's hatch. Comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Highly recommend.

I love that this bike rack holds five bikes as it is a hassle to go biking anywhere not local for a full family. Now we are able to explore more than we were once able to. 

I actually had the 2 prong model and worked great for me and my family but I needed 1 more extra space and then this was offered as a claim item and now I'm super happy with this! It's good study let's me still have access to the back of my car. I will say thin frames might get a little scratched I had 3 bikes on it and it was fine even off road. I think overall it's a great option for people who travel with their bikes and need something secure with an ease of mind. The installation isn't that bad if you already have a hitch but we didn't so hubby had to install that so it took longer than usual. I love it and I'm so excited to use it often!

Okay it’s awesome! 👏🏽 I can confidently and easily fit all bikes without the worry of them not locking right or yet alone worrying about this accidentally scratching my truck. It’s far apart from anything or potentially hitting the paint. I love how it’s so sturdy. I am so happy & can’t wait to use it a lot this summer for our family camping trips.

This product is heavy which gave me confidence that it could hold 4 bikes (2 x adults and 2 x child). It was easy to load onto my car and felt really sturdy. I was able to drive without any issues or concerns. I would definitely recommend this bike rack.

To start this thing has some weight to it! It’s not cheaply made at all. The pin that holds this into the hitch however is tiny. The entire rack is held into the hitch using opposing pressure kinda like how drum brakes work. It’s not very confidence inspiring. The rack will only hold full sized men’s style bikes. Kids bikes and bikes with the top bar angled down will not fit. This is a huge disappointment. The tilt away feature is incredible and easy to use. The built in bottle opener seems like throwing in one last item to pump up the feature list. I wish they would have made the rack able to hold variations of bikes instead.

Awesome must have for anyone who takes multiple bikes out on adventure. Sturdy heavy weight great option that holds up to 5 bikes. Perfect for families.

The Yakima RidgeBack Tilt-Away is a sturdy and convenient bike rack designed to make transporting bikes easy and user friendly. This rack can carry up to five bikes of many sizes and styles making it ideal for family outings or adventures with friends. It features an amazing tilt-away design which allows easy access to the rear of your vehicle even when the bikes are loaded. This comes in handy when you need to access your trunk or rear hatch without having to unload the bikes!I’m so excited for spring to be able to really put this to the test. We don’t have the hitch on our family vehicle yet but the installation process is straightforward and the rack securely holds your bikes in place during transport. There are accessories available to accommodate specific kinds of bikes that harder to hook onto most bike carriers.
