Yakima KingPin 4

KingPin4 Bike Hitch
Everything abut the rack is superb. It is most unfortunate that there are reports growing in number of these hitch racks being stolen right off the back of vehicles. My only comment then would be to change the design so that racks can be locked at the two points of attachment: (1) at the hitch to the vehicle, and (2) at the hinged-area.

A solid rack with easy to use straps.
The KingPin 4 is easy to use and keeps bikes stable and secure. We used a bungee cord to keep it from rattling when just driving around with no bikes on it. Also, make sure that your hitch is rated for this rack. 1 1/4" Class I receivers have a notch that will not allow this rack to slide all the way in to the receiver, even though they are rated for carrying 200 lbs. However, once we figured this out, the rack is great - easy to get off/on, put bikes on, store, etc.

King Pin 4
Rack fits well and carried 4 bikes wonderfully. The fold-down arms allowed us to leave the rack mounted on the vehicle when we were parked and no worries about it getting hit.

KingPin 4 is Great
I've been in love with my bike rack since the minute I received it. I can put all my bikes (4) on it and just go. It's very easy to install and you don't have to worry about the bikes scratching each other or the vehicle. Once again, great rack. Will recommend it to everyone.

Big and Burly
Fits all the bikes for you and your crew. Very solid and very stable. Be careful with little bikes though, the stabilizers make it difficult to get my girlfriend's 16-inch frame mountain bike on it.

Yakima KingPin 2
The Yakima KingPin 2 is for you if you agree that twos company and threes a crowd. This hitch mounting bike rack holds just two bikes and sports plenty of features.
