Yakima RidgeBack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2020 Jeep Cherokee Video

One of the things to consider when transporting 4 bikes on your 2016 Mazda 6 is the tongue capacity rating of your vehicle. This is usually found in your owner's manual. If you discover that the combined weight of 2 adult bikes and 2 kid…

Each of the 1-bike racks that currently offer are going to give you about a 45 degree tilt, but there the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike #RKY87RR is going to sit the furthest away with a 16-3/4" distance from the closest part…

In regards to the Thule Hitching Post Pro part #TH934XTR and Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack part #Y02458, I give the nod to Yakima. They are both very similar options (tilting feature, anti-sway cradles, 1-1/4"/2" Hitch, etc.) but the Yakima…

For a 70 lb E-bike with fat tires we really only have one option that will work well. That's the Hollywood Racks #HLY84FR that has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike and can accommodate tire widths of up to 5 inches. It can also carry up to two…

For me there is one clear choice between the two bike racks you asked about, and for one very particular reason - convenience. Due to how convenient it is, I definitely recommend the RidgeBack, which is the following part number: - Yakima RidgeBack…

For your 2017 Subaru Forester with factory hitch receiver, you will want to use a bike rack rated for 1-1/4 inch hitches. For a hitch mounted rack for your 3 bikes, you will be limited to a hanging style bike rack. My recommendation for you is the…

I would recommend looking at the SportRack 3 Bike Carrier #SR2703. The SportRack bike rack, #SR2703, weighs approximately 25 lbs and has a some great features such as rotating cradles and a reflector. This rack will fit 1-1/4 inch Class II trailer…

The SportRack Pathway bike rack #SR2703 will be held in your trailer hitch with the included thread hitch bolt. It is not meant as a permanent installation so when you are ready to remove the rack just unthread the bolt and pull it out, take out the…

Although we don't offer a dual hitch adapter for a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the #36284 you'd looked at, I do have a solution that could work for you, assuming that your bike rack and bikes weigh less than 100 lbs and the trailer's tongue…
