The only bike rack that can carry five bikes at once, the Yakima KingPin 5 hitch-mount rack is a must for families and groups of friends that love to cycle together. The KingPin 5 is designed to fit vehicles with 2-inch receiver hitches, such as many SUVs, trucks, and minivans. More impressively, the rack offers Switchblade anti-sway cradles that keep each of the five bikes from touching each other--no easy task with a quintet of bikes on the same carrier. And thanks to the rack's dual-arm design, the KingPin 5 holds most types of bikes, from cruisers to road bikes.

Compatible with the HitchSki ski-rack accessory, the KingPin 5 carries a one-year warranty.

Very good 5-bike carrier,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I needed a bike rack for all of the family bikes, and this one fits the bill nicely. Very easy to assemble, and although a bit heavy to lift, easily slides onto the 2 inch receiver hitch and quickly bolted into place. For bikes that have a high crossbar (ie. men's bike), the bike is easily placed into the cradles and strapped into place. For bikes without the cross bar (ie. kid's bikes and women's bike), I recommend purchasing the removable crossbars (available at my local bike shop for $35, but likely cheaper on-line). Finagling all five bikes onto the rack isn't so easy, but it will work. The features of the rack are very nice: bars drop-down when not needed and the whole rack drops away from the vehicle for easy access to the rear door of the minivan. For the money, a great buy!

Serves its purpose,

This review is from: Yakima KingPin 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
This is a seriously beefy rack! It will stand up to the 5 heaviest bikes you can load, no problem. As a result, IT IS HEAVY and the shape and distribution of the weight make it a bit ungainly to handle. Once mounted on the vehicle, it's fine except for a some wobble in the hitch receiver fit. This may be a matter of my hitch receiver being worn and allowing more play in the fit but...? Bikes with standard frame configurations fit easily but you must have frame hangers for any bike with an angled top-tube (extra $$). Overall, I would reco this rack if you have to have a 5-bike rack but this unit works better with only 4 bikes.
