Amazon.com Product Description: Easily carry up to five bikes whether you're driving across the country or simply heading to the trail with the Yakima DoubleDown 5 five-bike hitch-mount rack. The DoubleDown 5 is outfitted with a user-friendly TriggerFingers system, which lets you fold the mast easily out of the way when not in use.

The rack also protects your bikes thanks to its standard SwitchBlade anti-sway cradle, which eliminates bike-to-bike contact. And thanks to the RocSteady hitch tongue, the DoubleDown 5 is extremely stable. Other details include narrow arms that fit a wide variety of frames, an integrated bottle opener, and a durable powder-coat finish. Compatible with 2-inch and 1-1/4-inch hitch receivers right out of the box, the DoubleDown 5 carries a limited lifetime warranty.
