Description

Yakima DoubleDown Ace Hitch Rack - 5 Bike

The Yakima DoubleDown Ace 5 bike rack gives you the best of both worlds by safely transporting up to 5 bikes, and then providing easy access to your vehicle. Installation to vehicle is a breeze and requires no tools; rack locks to hitch for security. Once bikes are removed, tilt-down mast lowers rack out of the way to provide access to back of vehicle. Fits most bikes, but an adapter (sold separately) may be required for women’s or kids’ bikes; not designed for use with tandem or recumbent bikes. Anti-sway bike cradles eliminate bike-to-bike contact and bike-to-vehicle contact. Rubber straps on each cradle securely anchor bike into place. Cradle arms can be lowered when not in use. Intuitive levers with anti-pinch trigger covers make folding cradle arms and mast a simple endeavor. Fits 1.25 in. and 2 in. receiver hitches; designed for Class II hitches and higher. DoubleDown Ace 5 bike rack has 2 integrated bottle openers—one on each end of the arms. Not intended for tandem or recumbent bikes; carrying bikes with step-through frames requires the purchase of an adapter (sold separately).

No way to fit 5 bikes

This rack simply won't fit 5 bikes. I understand now that fitting kids' bikes (I have two 16" and one 20") is difficult even with the three top tube extenders I had to buy after the fact (adding $80 to the tab). Even with those, I had to take off most of the pedals to make just FOUR bikes fit. Sadly, mommy's bike would not make the trip with us and mommy would not ride bikes with the family. Again: There is simply no way this rack could fit our five bikes. I don't think it could fit anyone's stable of five bikes without removing most of the pedals and probably a few sets of handlebars. By the time you do that (and reassemble it all) you're into 30+

Nice Rack!!

This rack works well .... it is a challenge to get 4 or 5 bikes on if they are of varying sizes. With two kids bikes you really have to stack carefully. Once the bikes are on it is amazing to go anywhere with. Very sturdy connection to hitch! Keep Playing!!

Not a 5-bike rack

On a positive note, the rack is solid, high-quality, and extremely stable. There was no rattling at all in the hitch. The tilt-away feature is very easy to use. However, I had hoped to use this rack to hold 2 adult bikes, two 20-inch youth mountain bikes, and one 16-inch child bike.
