Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
![Yakima FullSwing allows full rear cargo access with bikes loaded]()
The Yakima FullSwing is a premium, 4-bike rack packed full of user-friendly perks. The swing-away mast provides convenient access to your vehicle's rear cargo area - even with bikes loaded. Folding dual arms with adjustable anti-sway cradles support your bikes, while ratcheting ZipStrip straps keep them in place. A built-in cable lock secures your bikes to the rack. And installation is tool-free with an integrated anti-rattle device that locks the rack to your vehicle.
Full Access to Rear Cargo Area
![Yakima FullSwing rear cargo area access]()
The FullSwing has a hinged arm in the base that lets you swing the rack away from the rear of your vehicle with your bikes still loaded. This eliminates the need to unload the bikes or remove the rack to get to your stowed cargo. To open the hinged arm, simply loosen the T-bolt and pull the spring-loaded pin. Then swing the rack out away from the rear of your vehicle. The arm will lock into place once it's fully extended so your hands are free to open your hatch and remove cargo.

To close the rack, press the hinge release lever and pull the spring-loaded pin to swing the mast back into position. The spring-loaded pin will click when you've fully closed the rack. Tighten the T-bolt to completely secure the rack in place.
Tool-Free Installation with SpeedKnob and AutoPin
![Yakima FullSwing tool-free SpeedKnob and AutoPin]()
The FullSwing has an integrated SpeedKnob and AutoPin that allows tool-free installation. The knob controls an anti-rattle wedge on the shank. Simply turn the knob to tighten the bike rack shank in your hitch receiver. This not only secures the rack to your vehicle, but also reduces noise and movement of the rack in your hitch.
The AutoPin is the rack's spring-loaded hitch pin that pops into place when it enters the side pin hole of your hitch.

A handy thumb-release button disengages the AutoPin so you can easily slide the rack out of your hitch. And, since the AutoPin is part of the rack, you won't lose it.
Folding Dual Support Arms
![Yakima FullSwing dual support arms]()
The FullSwing's dual arms offer excellent bike support. Your bike's top tubes rest in grooves on the padded arms. The grooves cup your bike frames, and the TPE padding absorbs road shock and minimizes vibrations.
Pull the red TriggerFinger control lever on top of the mast to lower the arms for storage or parking clearance. When you're ready to load bikes again, simply lift the arms back up until they lock into place with an audible click.
Adjustable Anti-Sway Cradles
![Yakima FullSwing anti-sway cradles 3-point support]()
The FullSwing has anti-sway cradles that grip your bike frame at 3 different points - twice along the top bar and once along a downward bar, such as a seat post. This third point of contact helps to prevents sway and bike-to-bike contact.
![Yakima FullSwing ratcheting ZipStrips]()
Ratcheting ZipStrips let you quickly and easily secure your bikes in the cradles. These straps require none of the tugging and stretching that conventional straps require. Simply insert the strap into the buckles on the cradle, and push it down until it's snug around your bike frame. The ZipStrips can be removed quickly by pressing the release levers on the sides of each anti-sway cradle.
![Yakima FullSwing adjustable anti-sway cradles]()
You can adjust the cradles by sliding them along notched tracks in the bottoms of the arms. This allows you to optimize the spacing between your bikes on the rack. Simply lift the cradle's control lever to move it, then lower the lever to lock the cradle into position.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
![Yakima FullSwing integrated cable lock]()
The FullSwing includes an integrated cable lock that can be threaded through all 4 bikes and locked into the end of the right rack arm with a Same Key System (SKS) cylinder. The braided steel cable is 1/4" thick, and it is coated with vinyl to prevent scratches and scuff marks on your bike frames. When not in use, the cable stores in the rack arm.
![Yakima FullSwing locking SpeedKnob]()
The SpeedKnob also includes a SKS lock cylinder, operated by the same key that opens the cable lock. This lock prevents a would-be thief from being able to loosen the knob and remove the rack from your hitch.
SKS cylinders can be swapped out if you own other Yakima products and want to use the same key to lock them all.
![Yakima FullSwing built-in bottle opener]()
And the FullSwing includes a built-in, machined-steel bottle opener in case your beverage of choice doesn't have a twist-off cap.
