Sturdy construction and nice finish. It’s a bit heavy to maneuver during installation or removal, but it works as described. It’s especially helpful for car camping trips to allow full access to the rear hatch of my minivan without removing bikes from the rack.

Thank you for your answer. Presently we have hybrid bikes but in the futur we might go for eav hybrid bikes (2). Does the Yakima offers both swing sides (driver or passenger)?
