Compatibility of Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Rack Part # Y02457 with 2010 Honda Pilot
Question:
Hi there, Im considering buying a Yakima RidgeBack 2 Bike Carrier Y02457, but the Yakima websites fit my car feature doesnt show it in the list that apparently contains all the hitch carriers that are compatible with my 2010 Honda Pilot EX-L. My car has a class 3 hitch system, so I dont see why not. Also, does the Y02457 come with a storage bag or do you sell one? Please advise. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack, part # Y02457 has a shank that measures 9-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the closest upright portion of the rack. To determine if this rack is compatible with your Pilot, you will need to measure the distance from the hitch pin hole in your receiver to the furthest rearward portion of your bumper. If this measurement is less than 8 inches, the RidgeBack will work great for you.
A storage bag is not included, nor does Yakima offer one.
For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
