Made from rugged nylon, this pad will last a long time and stand up to years of use.  The soft felt backing protects your paint and keeps the bikes looking as fresh and clean as day one.

Even when fully loaded with bikes, the FullSwing has the capability to open at a 90 degree angle, making sure the rack is completely out of the way of the rear door. The FullSwing is a great way to carry four bikes, ranging from kids to adults. This rack has a total carry weight of 150lbs; Yakima suggests a maximum of 40 lbs per bike. Designed for everything from road bikes to mountain bikes, even those heavier cruisers. Installation is very easy with the Auto-Pin technology; just slide the rack into the hitch receiver, and wait for the click; then turn the SpeedKnob until tight. This rack does require a 2” hitch receiver. Yakima’s FullSwing holds your bike with two fully padded arms that allow the bike to rest underneath the top tube of the frame. The new ratcheting ZipStrips lock the top of the frame to the padded arms, to make sure the bikes aren’t getting tossed around. Finally use the SKS (Same Key System) to securely lock the bikes and the FullSwing to the hitch for travel. The SKS makes the adventurer’s life simple, so you only need one key to lock all your Yakima racks. Once you’ve come home from your adventures, take the bikes off, fold the padded arms down - nicely minimizing the size - so you can easily store your vehicle and FullSwing into a parking spot, or garage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yakima","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46413760856360,"sku":"8002465","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/yakima-full-swing-bike-hitch-mast-8002465.jpg?v=1753022688"},{"product_id":"yakima-backswing-hitch-swing-arm","title":"Yakima BackSwing Hitch Swing Arm","description":"\u003cp\u003eMake accessing the rear of your vehicle easier with your existing Yakima bike rack by getting the Yakima Backswing; an adapter that gives riders the ability to pivot their traditional 2” hitch rack 90 degrees. This places the rack to the right hand side of the vehicle and completely out of the way for full rear door access. Now riders have plenty of space to gear up for the ride, or chill out on the tailgate post ride. Once the extension arm is fully opened the Backswing securely locks into place. No need to worry about that rack swinging back at you. Don’t forget, when closing the Backswing towards the tailgate, make sure to push from the outside of the rack - if you pull the Backswing arm from the inside you’ll quickly find yourself in a pinch. This attachment works best with many of Yakima’s 2” hitch racks, and can handle a maximum weight of 250lbs - that means the weight of the attached rack to the Yakima Backswing, plus the weight of the bikes. It’s fairly easy to install and remove, with great instructional videos on Yakima’s website to help guide folks through the process. One of the benefits of this attachment is it’s minimal size for easy storage. The extension also uses the SKS (Same Key System) to securely lock the attachment to the hitch.

It’s a simple design and concept, and works really well for what it does.  I never knew what one was until I needed one.  I had a traditional mast-style hitch rack and my wife had a small full-suspension mountain bike.  The geometry of the bike made it super-awkward to get the thing on my rack.  If you are ever driving around and see someone’s bike on their rear rack and it’s tilted in some really unnatural way, that person needs a Yakima Tube Top adapter.  It fastens from the seatpost to the top tube below the stem and creates an accommodating top tube that can be attached to most mast-style racks.  Otherwise, the funky geometry of not only smaller full-suspension bikes, but also step-through style and even junior\/girls bikes with more sloped top tubes will make it virtually impossible, and likely unsafe, to attach your bike to the arms of the rack.

Using a finger, hold in the core while removing the control key. Always double check you did everything right by locking your core with the corresponding key.
