Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, the quality of materials, and design and construction of this rack are outstanding. Loading and unloading bikes from the rack is a breeze and the rack easily folds out of the way when not in use.
I have 2 complaints, however. The first is the straps that hold back tire in the wheel pocket. The straps are plastic, and have teeth on them to engage a ratcheting mechanism that you are supposed to use to tighten the strap down. The issue is that the plastic is fairly soft, and even a moderate amount of ratcheting tension will bend or shear off the plastic teeth. In fact, I finally stopped using the ratchets and simply pull the free end the the strap with my hand until tight instead. Strangely enough, even though the strap can easily be removed and replaced in seconds with no tools, Yakima does not appear to offer it as a separate part. You must buy the entire wheel pocket assembly.
My other complaint is the 2 inch receiver adapter that comes with the rack. It appears to be very slightly smaller than it should be. As a result, the entire rack flops around from left to right and up and down during travel as the adapter wiggles around inside the receiver.
Other than those two issues, I am satisfied with this rack.
