## Description

desertcart.com : Yakima Ridgeback 5-Bike Hitch Rack | Car, Truck and SUV Bicycle Carrier for Heavy-Duty Vehicle Storage : Automotive Bike Racks : Sports & Outdoors

Review: loved it. Very easy to use - Wow, loved it. Very easy to use, and quality is fantastic. I loaded 4 bikes (two adult two kids) , I think loading 5 would have been difficult but four fit great. It has a way to tighten the part that goes into the hitch by turning a knob, and that works great, as well as the safety pin. Although I have only used it once, it feels like it will not bend with the weight of 5 bikes. It is very heavy keep that in mind. Overall I greatly recommend it, worth the difference in price to cheaper products, and it should last a long time.
Review: installed perfect. have to get the cross bars for the ... - installed perfect. have to get the cross bars for the little bikes. I have four of them and at 40 bucks a bar it was hard but i bought them. This has no problem fitting adult bikes. It would be nice if this had some modification to fit smaller frames. Yakima may not have thought that or just was to milk buyers in getting more accessories. I have a SARIS three bike rack for the truck and the arms adjust where I can get the little frames on it. And that was under a hundred dollars. But I am sure this rack will stand the test of time. I just was disappointed I could not test it out once I got it installed. I have to wait a de more days for the crossbars to come. I will post an update once I get it all situated. Otherwise this is a solid construction. Just as the videos say out of the box and onto my 2in hitch. If you have the smaller size you have to make minor adjustment. first. It confused me at first when I took it out of the box and it did not fit. My stupidity was kicking in full speed. After you put it and the pin both are very loose. But as you turn the large red knob in the front it tightens lightly. After I locked it it was really snug. I also bought the cable lock which has not arrived yet. Wish that was incorporated too. Another expense Yakima makes buyers get. So two things- the crossbar and cable lock are extra purchases. If you have small frames expect to spend more for the cross bars. And if you want to be able to secure the bikes as a theft deterrent that you also need to purchase a cable lock.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rack so far
*by I***D on April 5, 2021*

We used it for the first time today on my 2021 Subaru Outback with 2" hitch. Getting the rack on/off the car is pretty easy. Getting our bikes on (only 3 today) was a bit tricky. My youngest (8) bike just barely squeezed on. I'm going to have to get a cross bar for that bike as well I guess. Overall the rack seems sturdy and held the bikes in place for our short trip. Its also light enough to carry in/out of the garage when I want to use it.
