Yakima Platform Hitch Bike Rack Features
- Dual Platform Rack: 1.25” hitch mount carrier accommodates 2 bikes with wheel sizes from 16” to 29”, tire size up to 5” W, and wheelbases from 30” to 52”. A versatile fit for E-bikes, mountain, road, hybrid, BMX, kids’ bikes, and fat-tire bikes.
- Ease of Use: Convenient tilt has 3 adjustable positions for trunk access and folds flat against the car for compact storage, while the tool-free locking SpeedKnob ensures quick installation and removal.
- Strength & Security: Simply mount your bike at the wheels to protect painted and carbon frames and use the integrated SKS locks to secure bikes to the rack and the rack to your 1.25” vehicle receiver.
- Reliable Performance: Drive on and off-road with a 60-pound capacity per bike for RV and road travel and a 36-pound capacity per bike for off-roading. For peace of mind, the tiered, adjustable bike trays are offset to minimize bike-on-bike interference.
- Take It Easy: Since 1979, Yakima has worked to simplify the way people travel and transport recreational sporting equipment. We put safety, sensibility, and street smarts into every product design.
Setup and loading are remarkably straightforward thanks to the intuitive design. The trays adjust to fit different bikes without needing wheel straps, and the frame-grabbing mechanism is secure and easy to operate. The tilt function is a standout feature, allowing access to your vehicle’s trunk or tailgate without having to unload the bikes, a huge convenience when you’re at the trailhead or heading to grab supplies.
