Hitch Bike Rack for Two Children's Bikes

Customer Question:

Hello,

I’m looking for a hitch bike rack for 2 bikes, one girls bike and one boys bike…. Can you recommend a hitch mount rack and will the SportRack handle these?

Racks for All Fit Recommendation:

I would recommend the Thule 912, and if you are carrying children’s bikes, you should add a couple of frame adapters.

The less expensive SportRack will also handle this requirement.

Canoe and Base Rack for 2006 Honda Ridgeline

Customer Question:

Hi, I have a question about purchasing a roof rack. I'm currently buying a 2006 Honda Ridgeline, that has no roof racks at all.

I was thinking about having the factory roof racks installed but decided to look and see if there were any others that would be better for me. Looking at your website, the Yakima Gunwale Brackets W/Straps - YAK_8005007 seems like it would be a good fit for me.

I have a bare roof on the truck I'm looking at. My question is, to purchase this item, what else would I need to purchase, and how much would all of that be? Thank you for the info.

Luggage Rack for Hyundai Sonata Sedan

Customer Fit Request:


I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata 4 door with a clean roof (no rails or racks) and need to carry luggage on a long trip. My budget is $200 or less. Can you help?


Racks for All Recommendation:


We can’t provide a fixed solution for $200. Base racks are about $270 and then you would need a cargo box. Here is the best configuration I can recommend:

Yakima Q Towers - set of four

Qty: x 1

Yakima 48 inch Roundbars

Qty: x 1

Yakima Q39 Clips

Qty: x 2

Thule Nomad

Qty: x 1

I added an inexpensive Thule cargo bag (the Nomad) that will work fine with the Yakima base rack and help with the carrying of cargo and luggage.
