For bike owners on a budget, the DoubleDown 4 is a safe bet. The DoubleDown 4 hitch mounted carrier features a four-bike capacity, a host of Yakima's standard amenities and a modest price tag that will satisfy anyone, from recreational riders to Tour de France trainees.

Designed for convenience above all, the dual-armed DoubleDown 4 has an upright bar - or mast - that tilts forward, away from the vehicle, allowing easy access to the rear cargo area. Perfect for owners with hatch-style rear doors, the mast is operated by a simple, spring-loaded pull pin and easily snaps back into place in upright position.

The DoubleDown 4 mounts into both 2" and 1-1/4" hitches right out of the box. The included steel sleeve converts the bike rack shank from a 1-1/4" to a 2" product in seconds.

The dual arms fold down for storage with a quick-release (TriggerFinger) button mounted on top of the mast. One push of the button and the arms fold to the sides of the mast. The arms click in place in both the "up" and "down" positions to ensure safe transport and storage.

The arms feature anti-sway (Standard SwitchBlade) cradles with a wide track for various bike frame sizes. Soft rubber straps secure your bikes to the cradles, and the anti-sway technology keeps the bikes from rocking back and forth. The distance between the bikes can also be adjusted by sliding the cradles along the arms. The cradles have a small switch that is used to lock them in the desired position.

The narrow design of the dual arms allows the DoubleDown to accommodate a large variety of bike styles, reducing the need for bike adapter bars. The anti-sway cradles can easily be flipped in to make loading and unloading even easier.

A heavy-duty (RocSteady) hitch tongue keeps both the carrier and your bikes stable during transport and features an anti-rattle device that reduces noise and movement in the hitch.

The DoubleDown comes with a durable, powder coat finish and integrated bottle openers at the end of each arm. The DoubleDown 4 includes a standard hitch bolt and clip and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Improve the security of your rack with an integrated DeadLock cable lock and hitch lock (Y02411), an optional HitchLock (Y07235), or a LockUp (Y07238) cable lock and hitch lock set.
