Installs Easy and Simple to Use
this Yakima DoubleDown 5 review by SHEP
We purchased the Yakima Double Down bike rack from ORS Racks Direct. We just wanted something simple and effective and that is what we got. Rack went together easily and installed in minutes. We make use of the fold down features often. Cradles keep bikes from swaying and hold them securely in place. Overall, we are very pleased and would recommend this rack to anyone.
