Fit of Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack # Y02458 on a 2012 Honda Odyssey

Question:

Will the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack fit hitch on my 2012 Honda Odyssey?

Expert Reply:

The Odyssey can be equipped with either a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening or a Class III with a 2 inch receiver. The Yakima RidgeBack is compatible with both.

The shank on the RidgeBack is long enough to allow plenty of space between the back of the rack and the rear of the vehicle. In other words, the RidgeBack will work great on your vehicle.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
