When you’ve got a full group ready to ride, the HangTight makes sure no bike gets left behind. It holds up to 6 bikes—mountain, road, BMX, kids’, fat bikes, and lighter e-bikes—on 2" hitch receivers. Each bike mounts vertically by the handlebars, so you can load and unload in any order without juggling positions. Families, teams, or tour groups can get rolling fast, with every bike secure and spaced 12" apart to avoid contact on the road.
The HangTight is tough enough for real-world hauling. The inner two positions handle 70 lbs each, perfect for heavier builds like e-bikes, while the outer four positions support 37.5 lbs each. Whether you’re loading light road rides or power-assist cruisers, the steel frame and anti-rattle hitch pin keep things stable. A 500-lb minimum tongue weight rating gives you confidence that it’s built to carry serious weight safely.
Bikes stay steady thanks to padded handlebar cradles and rotating wheel cups that fit wheelbases from 24" to 50" and tires up to 5" wide. Ratcheting straps hold each wheel tight, while a cam-buckle safety strap runs through every frame to cut down bounce and sway. For bikes with dual-crown forks, the optional DH cradle (sold separately) swaps in easily. The setup is quick, tool-free, and built for repeated use.
When you need to reach the rear cargo area, just press the spring-loaded foot pedal and tilt the rack forward. Even with six bikes mounted most of the time, this feature makes unloading or grabbing gear simple once the rack is empty. It locks back upright with an audible snap, ready for the next run.
The threaded hitch pin tightens into place to stop movement in the receiver, and the included SKS lock secures the rack itself. An integrated lock loop lets you add a cable lock (sold separately) for extra bike security. With solid steel, black powder-coated construction and rust-resistant finish, the HangTight stays strong through years of travel and steady use.

Easy way to transport up to 4 bikes. Extremely heavy duty! Only issue was the shippers destroyed the shipping box and multiple pieces were damaged. etrailer compensated me for the damage. Obviously NOT Yakima’s issue. Excellent product!
This bike rack is incredible. It is built very well and works perfect. Etrailer was incredible. It was at my door in 2 days. I would recommend using etrailer for anyone who hasn't in the past. I've have no issues.
Easy to assemble as long as you have a 15/16” socket wrench. Do not lower without help when bikes are loaded. Also need second person to take off from hitch to store.
This has been a great carrier to transport the entire family around to all the trailheads so they can go biking. It has really increased the number of family bike outings due to how easy it is to load and secure the bikes. Not really much difference in vehicle handling when fully loaded when used with our Sienna. The rack also holds a wide range of bikes, though for the really small one the pad that secures the rear tire has to pivot to 85°. It also comes with a hitch receiver pin that screws into the rack and then you attach the supplied lock onto that pin.
Some notes:
This holds 6 bikes with flat bars, but you can put a drop bar on the right most position.
If you are using all drop bars then it becomes a 4-bike carrier (and you have to remove two cradles and reposition the other 2 to provide more space).
If you are looking to carry a bunch a downhill mountain bikes with crown forks you'll need to get different cradles as the fork will interfere with the narrower default cradles.
If you have a rear trunk, like us, then you'll need to unload all the bikes before you can pivot the rack to open the trunk.
Storing the rack can be interesting, we store it on the side with the top bar fully extended (so it looks like an H) against the wall.
