Great, well made trailer. It was not too hard to assemble, although an extra pair of hands helped. It probably took 3 hours. Make sure you have a torque wrench and the proper lug wrench. I ordered the spare tire and rack as an afterthought, so go ahead an get one.

Love, Love my Yakima EasyRider trailer. eTrailer once again pulled through again with excellent customer service and went out of their way to make things right on a timely manner, thank you eTrailer !!!

This must be the best off the shelf kayak trailer available. I have pulled this trailer loaded all over the upstate NY area, then from NY to SC. I just got back from a fishing trip to Mississippi with my 2 kayaks. It pulls like a dream at all speeds. I have a Hobie PA 12 rigged for fishing, a Yakima rod box on the top and I carry my wife’s Hobie Passport on the bottom. I pull the trailer with my Tacoma and it doesn’t noticeably affect my gas mileage on long trips. On the bottom I use some foam kayak pads to protect the second kayak. My only wish is there was a better way to secure the kayaks to the trailer on the bottom. Other that that and the price this is a perfect kayak trailer in my opinion for someone who needs to purchase an off the shelf trailer.

Great product. Very easy to build. The instructions were very easy to follow and fit and finish of parts are great.

Bought the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer, associated Spare Tire kit, and the Yakima Cinch Straps last year and we are extremely pleased. EasyRider assembled easily in an afternoon. EasyRider also doubles as an outdoor storage rack for our kayaks that we can move easily by hand across grass. We carry our 4 Pungo kayaks, two 12' on the bottom level and two 10.5' on the top... lots of positive comments on this easy setup when we pull into a launch site (we always recommend checking it out on etrailer.com). We use two sets of Yakima Cinch Straps (4 straps in total) to hold everything down and they are just long enough for the slightly wider 10.5' kayaks. Took our whole setup from the top western corner of Pennsylvania, down through the winding mountainous roads of West Virginia / Virginia, and out onto the Outer Banks.... EasyRider Trailer and Yakima Cinch Straps performed absolutely perfectly on all road conditions. EasyRider was even easy enough to unhitch and maneuver by hand in sand at access points on Sound side of OBX. Yes it is a more expensive trailer, but we feel it makes up for that in easy of use and less frustration. Plus the EasyRider offers options... when the kids move out and take their kayaks, mom and dad can buy the compatible Yakima bike racks to mount on the top level and we can easily transport two kayaks and two bikes.
Security: We use a 1/2" coated steel cable that is 15' long, which we lace through the kayak carry handles and wrap around the trailer cross piece, and use a padlock through the cable loops. We also use a padlock on the EasyRider's ball hitch lever to lock onto our vehicle... this thing is just that easy to move!

I had a few issues getting all the parts with the original delivery but everything missing was sent with no issues. The Yakima Easy Rider Trailer is an excellent product! Everything went together easily. Recently also ordered the spare tire that is not part of the trailer package.

My purchase of the Easyrider Double Decker was an upgrade from my Yakima Rack and Roll (R&R) trailer which we enjoyed for 7 years before we needed more capacity. We hauled the R&R back and forth from Michigan to Florida and several trips in the north for 7 years. It was easily sold to some fellow kayakers. I was happy to find the Easyrider when I needed a little more capacity. I added a cargo rack to the bottom level to carry our rolled-up inflatable SUPs, paddles, life jackets and rowing gear for the long trips and can use that rack for carrying the inflated SUPs for short trips. The upper deck carries two kayaks and two bikes. The Easy rider is a little longer that the R&R but still pulls with ease and the folding tongue allows us to store it in our carport. After our first roundtrip year with the Easyrider, we are very happy with our purchase.

Love the trailer
by: Christine 08/17/2022
We love our trailer. We got it to get out car-top tent at a more accessible height and to carry our camp boxes to get them out of the car. It makes exploring much easier since we can park the trailer and go. We do not use it for a kayak, so we do not need the long tong. It would be so great if you made a shorter extension for people like us, so that there is not so much space between the trailer and the car.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Kayak Trailer
- Recommended Double Decker Trailer for a Roof Top TentYes! On the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer - 14-1/2' Long - 78" HD Crossbars - 500 lbs # Y08129, the upper bars with a 350lb load rating can support a roof top tent. I went ahead and attached a video that shows a tent installed on the trailer at timestamp 3:20. We also sell the trailer with the tent as part # Y08129-3727.
view full answer... - Will 350 lb Top Tier Crossbar Rating for Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Handle Rooftop TentThe 350 lb rating for the top crossbars on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 has to do with the dynamic (or moving) weight capacity. Yakima doesn't list the static (non-moving) weight capacity, but pretty much all rooftop tent manufacturers say if the crossbars can handle 165 lbs then the crossbars are strong enough for the weight of the rooftop tent as well as the people it can hold.
view full answer... - Recommended Boat Trailer for Blue Sky Tricat by Jackson KayakThe Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 will be an excellent option for a Blue Sky Tricat by Jackson Kayak. The 240 lb weight is under the 350 lb weight capacity for the upper deck, the 72" width is less than the 78" crossbars which come with, and the 13'4" long length is under the max boat length for the trailer which is 19'. I also really like the Yakima trailers because of the coil over suspension which produces a very smooth ride.
view full answer... - Can Yakima EasyRider Be Used with Other Brand Roof Rack TentsThe crossbars of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 are compatible with basically any roof tent designed for roof rack crossbars.
view full answer... - What Type of Socket Should be Used to Install Wheels of Yakima EasyRider Double Decker TrailerThere is limited clearance between the wheel and the lug nuts so you'll want to use a thin walled 21 mm socket to mount the wheels that come with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. I wouldn't get too hung up on brand but just make sure it's a thin wall socket and you'll be totally fine. These are easily found at auto parts stores.
view full answer... - What is the Height of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker TrailerThe height of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 41-1/4" which would also be the depth if it was stored vertically. After reaching out to Yakima, I found that this trailer cannot be stored vertically. You would have to store it a different way should you choose to use it.
view full answer... - What Tire Pressure Should I Use on the Tires That Come With the Yakima Easy Rider TrailerYes. The tires on the Yakima Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 do need to be inflated to 80psi when cold. When it comes to trailer tires, they're designed to be load bearing, so inflating them to the prescribed psi enables them to hold the maximum load. This also reduces the chances for heat related malfunctioning that can occur when they're under-inflated. These tires are designed to withstand that amount of pressure, so there's nothing to worry about.
view full answer... - Is There a Way to Add Second Tier to Yakima Rack and Roll TrailersYakima does have a two tiered trailer with the EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 but they don't have a way to add a second tier to the Rack and Roll trailers.
view full answer... - Will the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Work With Any Rooftop TentThe Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 will work with most rooftop mounted tents, not just the ones made by Yakima i.e the SkyRise. The crossbar spread is adjustable and the bars themselves are a standard size (3" wide x 1-1/2" tall). Therefore, so long as the crossbar size is compatible there will be no issues. The crossbars can be moved back or forward on the side rails to fit your exact rooftop tent needs.
view full answer... - What Is Needed To Tow The Yakima Y08129 In CaliforniaWhen it comes to towing The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer - 14-1/2 foot Long - 78 inch HD Crossbars - 500 pounds # Y08129 it comes with all the paperwork needed to get it registered. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Is Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Suited for Off-Road UseThe Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is pretty well setup for off-road situations like you mentioned. It comes with shocks and decently aggressive tread tires so that it would handle moderate off-road scenarios like what most find themselves in on fishing and camping trips. I attached a picture of it from Yakima used at a pretty rocky beach for example. That said there aren't any heavier duty shocks or tires available for it. I can't attach the picture you submitted for the...

- Will the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Work With a Tepui Tent Kukenam Sky TentYes, a 2009 Subaru Forester can tow the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 without issue as it is very lightweight, only 175 lbs which then leaves you with plenty of capacity for your tent and other cargo. In regards to loading, both the upper and lower deck can be used so there would be no issue using a cargo basket/tray on the lower deck and a roof top tent on the upper deck. In fact, when Yakima presented the trailer to us that is that exact same configuration they...

- Can The Yakima EasyRider Trailer Support A Two-Person Tent And/Or A Thule Tent System?The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars. Luckily, Yakima has already come up with a solution to fix this issue. Take a look at the: -SkyRise Tent Kit for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08127 with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07437; Or, you can use the Yakima EasyRider...
view full answer... - Dynamic and Static Load Ratings For Yakima EasyRider Double Decker TrailerThe dynamic weight rating of the crossbars on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350lbs. If you are looking to use this with one of the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07437 you will want to get the SkyRise Tent Kit for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08127 so that you can support up to 1,100lbs of static capacity on the trailer when you are parked. Do note that the tent static capacity is 600lbs and that should not be exceeded on the top rack. We also have all of this available...
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Carrier To Secure Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 Tow Deck Of Yakima EasyRider Y08139To secure your Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 with 360 Drive Technology to the lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 I recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091. The BigCatch is confirmed to fit the lower round bars, and its 150lb weight capacity will be perfect for your kayak. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Hobie Mirage on the Yakima Easy Rider Lower DeckThe best way to carry your Hobie Mirage 14 360 on the Easy Rider is by using the following: Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer - # Y08129 Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - # Y04091 The Easy Rider has crossbars on the lower portion with a 2" diameter. We know the BigCatch has hardware that fits this crossbar but I'm not sure if your Hobie Cradle Set will fit the larger diameter crossbars. Since we don't have that carrier I'm not sure if there is a way to modify it either. Hopefully...
view full answer... - Can Yakima EasyRider Trailer Carry Two 17 foot Long CanoesYes, two canoes that measure 35 inches in width and 17 feet in length would easily fit on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 that you referenced. For straps to secure the canoes you'd then want the part # Y05006 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Could Yakima Lock and Load Platform Tray Y05048 Attach to Yakima EasyRider Double Decker TrailerThe Yakima Lock and Load Platform Tray part # Y05048 that you referenced could attach to the top bars of the Yakima EasyRider Trailer part # Y08129 since they are Yakima HD bars that have a top channel built into them but the lower bars of the trailer are solid round bars without a top channel so there's not way to attach the platform.
view full answer... - How Does The Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket Mount To The Yakima EasyRider TrailerThe Yakima MegaWarrior Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080 uses clamping brackets to connect to crossbars just like the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 has. I've attached a snippet from the instructions showing the brackets and bolts clamping onto a crossbar and review videos for both so that you can see them in use. Without crossbars on the lower tier you would have nothing to connect the cargo basket to.

- Kayak Set Up For The Yakima Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129I reached out to Yakima for your specific question about the Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. They went and measured it for you and it's more like 52 inches. It's recommended that you offset the kayaks since your kayaks are just 10" long. You have 3 crossbars to work with. I recommend one bigger kayak on the bottom and the other three on top. I really like the JayLow # Y04073 for carrying your kayaks
view full answer... - Will the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Work with 18' BoatThe max boat length for the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08106 is 17' per Yakima. It would probably work just fine with a slightly longer boat but we cannot recommend this. That said, there is another trailer that will work better for you in the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 which can accommodate a boat length up to 19'. This trailer also gives you the ability to store a lot more since there are two decks. It's only around 25 lbs heavier as well.
view full answer... - Can The HD Crossbars for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Be Raised? The HD Bars # Y01159 for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 currently only have the one adapter included with the trailer for mounting. You may be able to have new mounts custom machined to clamp around the tube and raise the height for the crossbars. This would have to be a custom part as Yakima does not manufacture another mount at this time.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Lower Crossbars on Yakima EasyRider Double Decker TrailerThe lower crossbars on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 are larger than most other crossbars and have a 2" diameter. While most people just mount pads on them and secure the kayaks with tie-downs that way I recommend using the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 because we know these will fit the larger crossbars and they are a saddle style type carrier so they have a lower profile for better clearance on the bottom of the trailer. Attached are some...
