I need something that will fit two children's bikes, a women's bike and a man's bike. Can you recommend one? I have read reviews, researched it, watched youtube videos and am still confused. I was thinking of the Softride Dura or the Yakima DoubleDown 5 Bike Rack. I will not hold you to this. I am merely asking for suggestions since I aparently do not know what I am doing. Javier

Double Down 5

By:

I did load 5 bikes on it. As I expected, I loosened and turned some headsets to get all five on it.

I like using the rack for short trips, one hour or less, with the mini-van.

I have used it for 5-hour plus trips with five bikes. At times, I held my breath or felt my stomach in my throat when I encountered dips in the Interstate, like you see at bridges. At those times, the rack would swing up.

My bikes were held secure and not scratched or rubbed. I did think the rack sagged in the hitch when five bikes were loaded.

I used to borrow the previous generation Double Down 5 from a friend. To me, it was a better hitch rack: it did not sag or swing up on dips.

Is it true that the arms are only 26" long compared to the Yakima Kingpin5 which is 31" long, according to another review I saw? My sister has the kingpin5 and it is hard to fit 5 on that. I don't want a smaller one. Thanks

swings like crazy

By:

I bought this rack for my Tundra.
Possitive: easy installations, fits 5 bikes ( i tried 4 thus far) I have to removed the seats to make it right.
Tilt down for truck bed access.

Negative: expensive, swings like crazy, I felt like it will break apart on a bump. It survived my 5 hr round trip to a lake. I thought it not supposed to swing that much. I expect it to rattle a bit but not this bad.
I am lazy to pack and return it. I don't feel safe nor satisfied with the purchase. I reccommend buying it at a local store and try it and return if you don't like. Others said that the older model is better.
