Yakima Bike Hitch Racks BackRoad 2 Bike Rack

Why We Like The BackRoad 2-Bike Rack

Hit the scenic byways with this compact Yakima BackRoad 2-Bike Rack. The familiar vertical hitch rack design uses arms that fold out to hold bikes while in transport. The updated bike frame cradles now accommodate the ever-widening tubes on modern bikes, and Yakima adds rotational ability to connect with various frame shapes. Latch down the bikes before hitting the road with the longer ZipStrips that attach around the seat and top tubes for secure travel. Fitting wide, flat-bar bikes or ones with unique shaping is convenient seven-inches of spacing between bikes. Yakima’s SKS lock cable is included for added security; however, the HitchLock is sold separately.
