With probably the most clever 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.
  • Durable, strong and lightweight construction combined with premium metallic powdercoat finish.
  • If you snowboard or ski we highly recommend the Yakima HitchSki ski-snowboard rack attachment (sold separately; see accessory add-ons below) for use on the Yakima FlipSide during the winter months.
  • Compatible with both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch hitches, no adapters necessary!
  • Carries up to 4 bicycles.
  • Even comes with a built-in bottle opener included!
  • Easy-to-follow Yakima 2426 FlipSide instructions included.
  • Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!

Excellent Rack

this Yakima Flipside bike rack review by TeamH12
vehicle year/make/model: 2010 Honda Pilot
item(s) transported: cruiser, commuter, and women's mountain bikes

I have always loved Yakima products and this is no exception. This mount works well and is very solid. The ability to flip the rack down (when the bikes aren't loaded) is really handy for loading up the vehicle while keeping the rack attached...something you will want to do if using regularly as there is a threaded bolt to increase rack stability. The integrated lock works really well and horizontal adjustments were easy. One pleasant surprise I had was that the rear window on our Honda Pilot was still easily able to clear the rack when still loaded & upright! One downfall - I was unable to load four bikes on it because two of them were small (one kids) women's mountain bikes that required top tube adapters. Because of the short length of the frame, the handles from bike 3 wouldn't clear the seat of bike 4, so I ended up putting it on top of the vehicle. I expect this would have been true of any comparable rack though.


Heavy Duty, Smart Design

this Yakima Flipside bike rack review by Karger
vehicle year/make/model: 1999 Toyota 4Runner
item(s) transported: road and off-road bikes, kids bikes

I agree with the last review - this is a smarter design than the fold-back racks. The mechanism, and the rack itself, is heavy duty and I expect it to last for many years. Loading bikes with confidence is worth a lot in peace of mind. To the RAV4 owner with clearance issues - there are adapters out there that will effectively drop your hitch a few inches. Google "receiver hitch drop" for more info.


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.


Very Solidly Built

this Yakima Flipside review by Donna Stweart
vehicle year/make/model: 2006 Toyota RAV4
item(s) transported: 2 bikes

We just took this out of the box yesterday, put it together in 10 minutes and inserted it in the hitch. I wanted to make sure it cleared the spare tire. There was more than enough room (about 6 inches extra space) but to my disappointment, when we flipped the mast to the side the door did not clear the post. The main reason I bought this hitch was because the mast folded to the side when not in use so now we have a relatively useless feature. So if you have a 2006 Toyota Rav4 or newer model you might not want to spend the extra money on this rack. Otherwise it is very solidly built.
