Product Description
The Double Down Series carries up to 5 bikes depending on model - the largest bike capacity offered by Yakima.
Amazon.com Product Description
Easily carry up to four bikes whether you're driving across the country or simply heading to the trail with the Yakima DoubleDown 4 four-bike hitch-mount rack. The DoubleDown 4 is outfitted with a user-friendly TriggerFingers system, which lets you fold the mast easily out of the way when not in use. As a result, you won't have to take the rack off the car just to get a soda from the cooler. 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 4 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 4 carries a limited lifetime warranty.

 Better quality than bargain racks! July 3, 2010
clp
The rack feels high quality and operates well. It seems the finish is more durable than cheap powder coated brands. Kind of like tents for camping (4 person is big enough for 2), The 4 place rack fits 2 bikes easily and is a tight fit for more. It did fit my full suspension mountain bike without the top tube adapter. I also bought the deadlock system. Some say even with the locks you can just remove the pivot bolt and walk away with the bikes and rack. My easy, cheap solution: Use some JB Weld and cover the nut and threads of the bolt. Make sure to wire brush them and clean the surface. After that a wrench won't fit on the end and the bolt is "welded" to the nut without any problems with the pivot function.

Its a great product but lack of security even with deadlock accessory. The pivot bolts can be taken out if you have the correct wrench. I have to custom made by drilling a hold through the vertical bar so that I can secure with cable and padlock against my hitch/vehicle.
 great April 25, 2010

great sturdy bike rack. There is a nut that could be taken off and the rack and bikes could be stolen even after i bought all the locks that secure the bike rack and the bikes. But other than that it does the job is sturdy and doesnt move too much on my hitch. easy to get in and out of my suv.
Yakima DoubleDown 4 - One year review October 3, 2009

Purchased this product one year ago. Rack is used for road and mountain bikes, all frames are different shapes and sizes. Securely holds bikes without damaging them. Bikes will not move when all straps are used. Well built heavy duty unit. Very little wear and tear after one year of use. Fold down arms and fold down mast feature work well. Individual bike cradles are movable and adjustable for any frame or spacing between bikes. Fold down mast allows access to back hatch (Jeep Cherokee) with no problem. I have even folded it down with bikes on to access the hatch (not recommended, but it will work). Previously owned a Rhode Gear rack mount which was good, but this is a much better product by far. Also purchased lock for hitch pin which works well. I would highly recommend this product.
