With probably the cleverest innovation in hitch bike rack design in quite some time, the Yakima FlipSide Hitch Bike Rack (8002426) tilts 90 degrees to the right or left, whichever you choose, and completely out of the way for full access to the rear of your automobile. Simply pull the knob and the Yakima FlipSide flips down to the right or left for superior rear-of-vehicle access! Also includes all security & stability features you'd expect from a top-tier receiver hitch mounting bicycle carrier. Fits both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch hitches right out of the box, no adapters needed! The Yakima Flip Side handles up to 4 bikes. Includes new RocSteady hitch tongue for superior stability, eliminating any possible hitch rack wobble found on competitors' models. So easy to use, you'll have your bikes loaded lightning-quick and putting to use the integrated bottle opener before your friends are finished loading even one bike on any competitor's hitch bike rack!
- Simply pull the knob and the Yakima 2422 FlipSide hitch bike rack flips down 90 degrees to the right or left for superior rear-of-vehicle access!
- The Yakima Flip Side bike hitch rack is compatible with all types of bicycles - new narrower dual arm design eliminates the need for top-tube adapters normally used with bike styles including women and kid bikes. Please note, for easist loading of each bicycle with an unconventional frame, including freeride / downhill mountain bikes we highly recommend the Yakima TopTube Adapter (sold separately; see accessory add-ons below).
- Yakima TriggerFinger release enables arms to instantly fold down when not in use (ideal for garage and parallel parking without having to remove the bike rack from the rear of your car).
- Includes SwitchBlade anti-sway bike cradles. Eliminates bicycle to bicycle contact and bicycle to vehicle contact. Includes Yakima Chain Straps to anchor each bike in place. Quickly adjust for perfect bike spacing and lock down when in use.
- Finest padding made of EVA foam used on the arms allowing for optimal bike protection.
- Includes the integrated Yakima LockDown security cable lock & keys for simultaneously locking the bicycles to the bike rack and the entire rack itself to the receiver hitch. No additional locking devices necessary.
- Includes new Yakima RocSteady hitch tongue for superior stability, eliminating any possible hitch rack wobble found on competitors' models.

- Carries up to 4 bicycles.

Well thought out rack.
this Yakima Flipside review by Stephen Marks
vehicle year/make/model: 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
item(s) transported: bikes for the whole family
The Yakima Flipside is a good rack. We have had no problems thus far. It is extremely rugged and durable. We use it often and has proven to be very reliable. The “flipside” feature is very nice, much better that the drop down feature of other racks, which when down, can get in the way when you’re trying to access the hatch. Because this one swings over to one side, it is out of the way. Smart thinking for sure on Yakima’s part. The support arms also can fold down which is nice for when you’re not using the rack. The other thing I’ll point out, which is another plus, is the fact that it can work with both 2" and 1-1/4" receiver hitches. It uses a sleeve to convert from one configuration to the other which is a simple idea but one that not all hitch racks use.
