Yakima Hitch Bike Rack - Y02457
Highlights
- Carry 2 Bikes Securely: Holds up to 40 lbs per bike with anti-sway cradles to keep frames steady.
- Reach Cargo Fast: Tilts down (when unloaded) so you can grab gear without removing the rack.
- Mount Without Tools: SpeedKnob tightens inside the hitch and locks the rack in place.
- Load Bikes Easily: Removable ZipStrips open fast—no tangled straps when sliding frames on.
- Store Compactly: TriggerFinger lever folds arms down to save space in the garage or lot.
- Use 1-1/4" or 2" Hitches: Included sleeve converts for either receiver size.
Features to know about
Effortless Everyday Use: Tool-Free Setup with Built-In Lock
The RidgeBack 2 installs fast and stays solid thanks to its tool-free SpeedKnob system. Just turn the knob to tighten the rack inside the hitch—no wrenches or bolts needed. The anti-rattle wedge cuts down on sway and noise, and the integrated lock keeps the rack secure once it’s in place. The tethered hitch pin means there’s nothing to lose when you take it off or swap vehicles.
Easy Storage and Parking: Folding Dual Arms with TriggerFinger Lever
When garage space is tight or you’re squeezing into a parking spot, the RidgeBack folds down to stay out of the way. A simple press of the TriggerFinger lever drops the dual support arms flat, trimming the footprint so the rack can stay on without being a hassle. At 32 lbs, it’s easy to lift, store, and move when needed.
Solid Support for Two Bikes: 40 lb Capacity Per Bike
Built for strength in a compact build, the RidgeBack carries two bikes up to 40 lbs each. Its 15" dual arms hold bikes steady in soft, anti-sway cradles that grip the top tube and seat post at three points. That multi-point contact keeps bikes from rocking, with lower cradles helping to stop scratches and scuffs between frames.
Quick Access When You Need It: Tilts Back Without Bikes Loaded
Grocery run or gear grab, you don’t have to pull the rack off to reach the rear. The RidgeBack tilts down with a quick pull of a lever so you can open the cargo area while the rack stays attached. When you’re done, it locks upright with a firm click and you’re ready to roll.
Built to Last: Steel Frame with Rust-Resistant Finish
A gray powder coated steel construction keeps the RidgeBack rugged and ready for miles ahead. The frame shrugs off weather and rough roads, while the clean finish resists rust and keeps the rack looking sharp season after season.

I used this product twice to go back and forth on a 700 mile trip (1400 miles total). My initial impression was that it was sturdy because it was larger than most 2 bike carriers I've seen. The strapping system is convenient and the locking system worked great. The only flaw so far is that one of the locking mechanisms actually broke off. After closer inspection, I realized that the parts are plastic. I'm not sure what actually caused it to break other than the force of hitting a pothole causing the bike to bounce on the rack. Those types of forces should be expected with normal driving however and I expected the locking mechanism to hold up. I was fairly disappointed that it happened given the asking price and the reviews I read prior to my purchase. Other than the locking mechanism on the actual bike rack, I wouldn't put to much faith in the red handled locking pin that inserts into the trailer hitch and insertion bar portion of the bike rack. It is understood that the pin does not go all the way through the insertion bar as the locking mechanism is inside and prevents further advancement. Yakima could probably improve this aspect of the product. I will be contacting Yakima to see if they will replace the broken part. One thing I did notice was that the broken bracket is screwed in and can be removed/replaced fairly easily. I have included pics of the broken bracket and working bracket for comparison. Hope this helps in your decision!

Carried 2 bikes from North Texas to Northern Colorado on the back of a civic coupe, through high winds and mountain passes. This rack is very sturdy. It was a little tough to get out of the hitch receiver the first time, very snug fit. I now need to get a hitch receiver on my Miata so that I can continue to use this rack.

Great rack! Fits the receiver on my '22 Outback perfectly. My bike(s) ride stable and secure. I also have a Specialized e-bike that weighs 36 lbs., and the rack handles the weight just fine.

Nice that this folds down so you have access to the trunk area. What was very disappointing was the fact that the little red knob with the thin metal strap connected does not insert into the hitch arm all the way. It is easily pulled out even after you have it locked into position. They should consider making the insert part longer so you can put a standard 5/8" diameter locking mechanism on the most forward area. Also, the decal was already half off in the box and stuck to the plastic bag.

The bicycle rack was delivered today. After much trial and error I finally got it together and functioning properly. The instructions are little help and I only achieved success after calling Yakima customer service for assistance. On a purely cosmetic issue, the Yakima decal is already half gone. If I were the manufacturer I would like my name ( logo ) applied more permanently. After all the trials and tribulations, the bike rack is first class. To bad the same can't be said for the instructions.

Good product.... I only use it a few time a year... take bikes from NY to Florida and back.... and a few times locally. I suppose if you were really into biking, get the type that you simply set the bike(s) in the wheel trays and lock them on.... Remember as humans we tend to be lazy even if we may be marathon bikers.
Used this on a Porsche Macan, and a Grand Marquis. My Grand Marquis has the smaller hitch... 1 1/2" ??? I just went to Walmart and got an adapter to 2"... Sorry e-trailer but I was in a hurray. The adapter actually moves the rack a few more inches away from the trunk. Love that because access to the trunk is easier.... but trunk access is not really a problem whether or not you need an adapter.
I like the locks.... also remember to get the adapter bar for ladies bikes.
Folds up nice to put in garage.

We used this bike rack on our vacation to Atlantic Beach NC. For 2 senior citizens, we made out pretty well. The bikes had a pleasant ride, no dings, no dents, no spinning tires! We carried them on the back of a GMC pickup with a camper top. The tilt down feature allowed us to open the tailgate completely with the bikes still on the rack. The only thing we would want to improve is the weight. At 32 pounds it was hard for us to mount on the hitch, but we were able to get a young neighbor to help us. It is very well built and I would definitely recommend this rack to our friends.

Excellent experience buying my trailer hitch from etrailer for my bike rack. Shipping was on time and I was able to install it myself after viewing the videos online. Installation took about an hour, if I would of had one more set of hands it would of been easier and faster. Thank you etrailer.

This two bike rack has been great for the occasional bike ride outside of our home area. I like the sturdy construction, but beware that it is a little heavier than it looks (I’m retired and a bit older so maybe not as strong). Easy to fit into the factory trailer hitch on our 5 passenger SUV and no problem securing the bikes for transport. My only complaint is, the stick on Yakima Graphic started coming apart the day we got it. Sorry, no free advertising for Yakima.

The Yakima RidgeBack 2 is an excellent bike carrier. Simple and intuitive to install with good looks and easy functionality - this is simply what I have come to expect from Yakima. The unit is reasonably priced compared to the competition. This is the third Yakima bike rack system that I have owned.
Purchasing the product from etrailer was so easy and much cheaper because the bike shops wanted me to pay shipping. This is my first experience with etrailer and it was a good one.

The rack arrived fully assembled and the additional HandCuff Cable Lock was securely packed in the same carton. The installation of the Cable Lock was very simple (watch the Etrailer video concerning the lock -- made things very clear though the printed instruction were easy enough to follow). Installing the rack on my 2017 Ford Edge was extremely simple (again, watch the Etrailer video). The rack slid easily into the hitch and tightened up very snugly. I have not used the bike rack yet for transport, but it appears very sturdy and the clips holding the bike in place are very secure.
Etrailer customer service was exceptional and I was very surprised to see the cable lock arrive with the rack since I was originally told it was on backorder.

This is the third Yakima Ridgeback that I have purchased for three different family members. These bike racks are durable,secure the bikes well and are easy to use. I continue to see cars, SUVs and trucks all over the midwest with Yakima bike racks. They work well with road, trail and hybrid bikes. Look no further and Enjoy the outdoors!

The rack installs easily with good instructions. It is still a little heavy for me to put in my Subaru Crosstrek (I am 68), but it is manageable.
We used this heavier rack since we sometimes put on our electric bikes for short distances. They are at the heavy end of the weight limits, but should work OK. Unlike the last car I had (Subaru forester), we don't want to keep the rack on the car unless we need to use it.
The rack was delivered slower than expected. The web site said it was in stock, but there apparently was an issue with the availability. The customer service team kept me well apprised of the shipment status.

This rack has been outstanding! Very stable and although it is a tad on the heavy side (not necessarily a bad thing) it is relatively easy to install and remove when needed. The ratchet straps are very effective and easy to use. I would highly recommend this bike rack! .............. By the way, ETrailer.com is an outstanding company to deal with as well! They are very good at what they do!

This was installed in a 2" hitch but can accommodate the smaller receiver as well. This rack holds on to my large frame mountain bike just fine with virtually no sway during the short trips to my local trail.
All features work as advertised, but please note that while the kit comes with a long strap to hold multiple bikes together (to prevent the frame bouncing against each other I assume), the kit does not include a strap to hold the front wheel/fork steady. I improvised one with a short bungee cord.
Shipping from etrailer was fast and communicated well via notifiactions.

The RidgeBack 2 is easy to install and easy to use. The quick-release ratchet straps hold my bikes securely in the cradles, the rack is very sturdy and the tilt-away feature works great to access my hatchback. I'd agree with other reviewers that Yakima would be wise to paint the logo rather than use a stencil that peels off at the lightest touch. Not a problem for me, but it doesn't help Yakima advertising. Overall, an excellent product so far. I've only had it for a little over a week but have driven a couple hundred miles over highways, rural roads and dirt/gravel paths. To date, it's solid.

I ordered both a Curt class three hitch and Yakima bike rack. The hitch and bike rack came in great condition! However, I'm unsure if my car's frame will be able to handle the weight of my bikes, bike rack, and hitch once I load everything on. The gauge of the steel on the actual frame of my Subaru crosstrek is thinner than that used for the Yakima bike rack. I just talked to Subaru and they weren't able to answer my questions of the frame's weight limitations because I didn't buy their parts. I understand but it stinks not to have a clear answer. We'll see what happens. I may be having to test etrailer's return policy, but I hope not. Crossing my fingers.

The Yakima Ridgeback 2 bike rack is an excellent product. I was tired of my other rack rocking in the hitch receiver and this one is soild as a rock and fold down and out the way when not in use and something I can leave on my truck. Service was excellent, ordered on Wednesday took advantage of free shipping offer and received the following Monday. Great service, thanks a lot!

This Bike Rack does everything well and seems to be designed very well. The only gripe would be the Yakima decal is very thin and in the summer heat peels off easily. I plan on contacting Yakima and requesting they send me a new one since mine was peeling off when I removed the Bike Rackfrom the box.

The rack was very easy to install. Like anything you do for the first time, the next time would be much easier. Could do 5 or 6 in the time that the first install required. The bike lock was also an easy installation. The two make a nice unit.

- Will the Replacement Pull Pin # Y8880153 Work with My Yakima RidgeBack 2While the Replacement Pull Pin for Yakima HoldUp Plus 2 # Y8880153 is not confirmed to work with your Yakima RidgeBack 2 # Y02457, I confirmed with Yakima that the correct part you need is the Replacement Hitch Pin for Yakima Hanging-Style Bike Carriers # 889-0231. Yakima also confirmed that this part comes with all hardware needed for the pin to function on your Ridgeback 2.
view full answer... - Does The Yakima RidgeBack 2 Fold Flat For StorageYes, The Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02457 does fold flat. The arms fold down with a quick-release control lever and the shank folds in for storage. I have attached a photo of the bike rack folded flat for your reference. You can also fold the arms down while the rack is still on the Wrangler when you are not using it. I have attached a photo of that as well.

This is due to the extra movement and stress caused by the further distance from the axle. If you really like the Rhino-Rack 2 Bike Rack # RRRBC045 but want to use it on a motorhome then I recommend taking a look at the popular Thule Camber 2 # TH9058.

One popular solution is to use a swing-away hitch adapter, which allows you to pivot your bike rack (even with bikes loaded) out to the side...
view full answer... - Can Yakima Ridgeback 2 Bike Rack Be Used with Curt Class I HitchHey Ashlynn, this is a really great question but what I was able to find is that the Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02457 CAN be used with the Curt Class I hitch part # C11567 and here's why. Yakima states this normally should be used on Class II and up hitches but if the hitch doesn't have the weld splatter designed to prevent Class I accessories from being used it can be used with a Class I hitch. Well Curt does not put that in their Class I hitches so this rack will fit and work fine.

Most platform bike racks max out around 50 inches in wheelbase like the Thule T2 # TH83JV you're looking at.

There are no hanging racks that are able to carry that heavy a bike so you'll need a platform rack, and I recommend checking out the Swagman Current Bike Rack # S64678. The Current # S64678 has a 60 lb per-bike capacity and is the most budget-friendly option for a rack with the capacity you need.

- Is It Possible To Convert The Yakima Ridgeback 2 Bike Rack Into a 4 Bike Rack? Yakima does not manufacturer the Upper Arms for the Ridgeback 4 Bike Rack # Y02458 as a replacement part, so you will not be able to convert your 2 Bike Rack # Y02457.

The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457 does not have any horizontal adjustment, however this bike rack does have a tilting feature when the bikes are unloaded which can allow for full rear-cargo access. Since you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle, I recommend using a hitch extender Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # RM-071-1075. This will push the receiver of your hitch on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler 7-3/4" to allow for more room for your spare tire.
