Compatability of Yakima HitchSki Ski Carrier and 4-Bike Rack
Question:
Good morning, Im looking to buy the Swagman XP 4 bike rack S64940. I also need a ski rack for the hitch. Will the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier Item # Y02418 work with this bike rack? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
There is a solution for you to use the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier # Y02418, though it will only work with Yakima dual-arm hanging racks and not the single-arm Swagman XP # S64940.
The Yakima RidgeBack # Y02458 is a 4-bike rack with a 150 lb capacity that offers premium convenience with its SpeedKnob for tool-free anti-rattle installation in your hitch. It also tilts and folds and uses the Same Key System locks to secure the rack to your hitch and protect your investment.
Please keep in mind that when using a hanging rack like the RidgeBack, it's possible you'll need bike frame adapter bar # Y02531 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
I've added links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at as well.
