If you want to transport four bikes at the same time, this hitch mounted carrier may be ideal for you. All four bikes are supported by the racks on the toe bar. The whole boot of your vehicle can be accessed by swinging this to the side. The sideways opening of the big boot door makes this a particularly useful feature for SUVs.
While it is good that this rack can be mounted with a single bolt, that’s not its greatest feature. The speed knob, which enables your rack to be adjusted without a tool, makes the rack very user-friendly.

Using ZipStrips, bike racks are held in place. These can be easily mounted to your bike and locked with your bike’s lock. With the anti-sway cradles that your bikes sit in, you’ll be able to travel safely without worrying about your bikes colliding with one another. Your bike is even protected by padded mounts.
Yakima offers a limited lifetime warranty, which is a really nice touch. In this warranty, if something does not happen to the rack normally, it is covered for the lifetime of the first owner. This rack has dimensions of 26 x 18 x 44 inches and weighs 56 pounds. With each bike weighing 37.5 pounds, it can handle 150 pounds of weight.
