Overview
A family trip to the trailhead or a team ride suits the Yakima DoubleDown, a hitch mounted hanging rack for up to four road, mountain or hybrid bikes. It fits both common hitch sizes and tilts down so the hatch can open.
Four bikes on one hitch rack covers most family outings, and the tilt lets you reach the cargo area. The per bike limit rules out e bikes and heavier rides, and unusual frames need the separate adapter.
Who it's for
Households and groups with conventional road, mountain or hybrid bikes will get a lot of use out of the capacity. Riders with e bikes, step through frames or kids bikes need adapters or another rack style.
Pros and cons
- Carries four bikes
- Fits two common hitch sizes
- Tilts down for rear access
- Optional lock system available
- Not compatible with e-bikes
- Adapter needed for step through frames
- Lock sold separately
Performance notes
Stability depends on the hitch fit and how securely each bike rests in the cradles, since hanging racks can swing on rough roads. The per bike and total limits cap what it can safely carry. Tilting down lets the cargo door open without unloading.
