Description
The Yakima HangTight Vertical Hanging Bike Hitch Rack is designed for riders who need a secure, no-frame-contact solution for carrying two to four bikes on a 2" trailer hitch receiver. Its vertical hanging design cradles bikes by the handlebars, protecting frames and accommodating a variety of bike types — from kids' bikes to fat tire mountain bikes and standard road models.
This rack holds bikes weighing up to 70 lbs on the two center cradles and 37.5 lbs on the outer cradles, making it suitable for heavier mountain and electric bikes within these limits. It fits wheel sizes ranging from 20" to 29" and accommodates tires as wide as 5". The rotating rear wheel cups adjust for wheelbases up to 50", ensuring good fit across most bike designs. Note, this bike rack does not support aero or clip-on aero handlebars, nor handlebars thicker than 35mm in diameter. Dual-crown fork bikes require the separately sold HangTight DH Cradle accessory.
Loading your bikes is straightforward thanks to fully padded cradles that protect handlebars from scratches and damage. The rack includes a foot-operated tilt mechanism, allowing easy access to your vehicle's rear without unloading your bikes or removing the rack. When not in use, the rack folds down for convenient storage and better access to your vehicle.
Security is thoughtfully handled with an included HitchLock that fastens the rack to your vehicle. While a bike cable lock is not included, the rack features an integrated lock loop for adding your own lock, helping to safeguard your bikes when unattended. The HangTight is not compatible with RVs, campers, or trailers, and you should verify hitch pin hole depth for fit.

"Absolutely Fantastic customer service!!!"
"My husband needed to buy a new roof rack for a truck he recently purchased and was told to get a System One brand that makes the racks from aluminium (so it doesnt rust). So I went searching online and originally went to System One's website to see if I could buy it direct from them, but I couldnt, so I found rackwarehouse.com who did sell them. Initially I was hesitant to buy something like this online since we had a bad experience with the 1st roof rack we bought 10 years ago from an online dealer, but it was impossible to find this thing in a bricks and mortar shop so we were kinda stuck buying online. So kind of reluctantly we went ahead and made the $$$$ dollar purchase with rackwarehouse, just praying we didnt get ripped off or have it arrive 6 months late and in hot pink or something. Well to my surprise, we had THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WEBSITE! Not only did the rack arrive in 24 HOURS, but the following morning after I placed the order, a kind man phoned me to let me know we ordered the wrong sized rack for the truck we had (they ask you for the truck make and model when you buy it to make sure you get the right one) He said we bought the wrong size which was for a compact truck and that the correct size was about 9 bucks more. So he sent me the invoice, I paid within the hour, and then he shipped it THAT DAY and it arrived THE NEXT DAY. Bam! Perfect! I was so grateful he phoned up and he was soooooooooooooooooo nice! Really kind person and said this happens all the time. So dont forget to leave your vehicle details during checkout when prompted! I highly recommend this company. They are based in VT and have A+ service. The ladder rack was perfect as well. If we ever need anything rack related we will be going to this website from now on forever more. Thanks guys!!"
