Product Reviews
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well This is a very nicely built unit. My one complaint is that I wish it was closer to the rear of the car. I can see why they make it like this as it is more likely to work with multiple vehicles and possibly even with a rear mounted spare tire.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Second time was the Charm This is the second Backswing I purchased from Moosejaw. The first one was unusable do to defects in manufacturing and I gave a 1 star review. The box was pretty beat-up and as a result the outer latch has a ding in it. Obviously not Yakima or Moose fault. The product is well built and seems quite robust however has several flaws. In particular the hitch stabilization for both the vehicle and rack receiver don't work well. They only stop wobble in one plane thus the rack still wobbles. My solution was to add a hitch stabilizer (that I usually use on bike racks) that looks like a steel plate with two big U-bolts. This pretty much stopped all the wobble. The stabilizer bolt used for the rack receiver will cut into the racks hitch bar. So good bye to the threads on the end of the bolt and hello to rust on the racks hitch bar. This could easily be fixed by incorporating a shoe on the end of the bolt like the ones on C clamps. The hitch lock is a joke. I figure it would take about 3-5 seconds to knock it off with a hammer and chisel. It would be nice to have the option to swing out to the left as well as the right but for me this is not a deal breaker. Over all I find the product adequate for my needs and Moosejaw is excellent.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor Workmanship Most of the components of the Backswing seemed very robust however one defect made my copy unusable. The hitch bolt could not be tightened down so either the bolt or the nut was not cut properly. To make matters worse the holes in the receiver for the hitch bolt were drilled eccentrically thus a standard hitch bolt could not be used rendering the product useless. Poor QC of this nature is just inexcusable for a product at this price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sturdy product, but it should be What I like: It's solid What I don't like: Threaded pin I take my bike rack off and on a lot and having to get a socket and ratchet to remove this from the hitch is my least favorite part of owning it. If it weren't for this, I would give 5 stars. It does what I need it to do and it's sturdy. But then again, considering the price, it better be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gets the bikes out of the way! We are avid campers and we always take our bikes with us. To unload the gear was such a pain before. The backswing allows us to unload everything with ease. It doesn't stick out to far and holds the rack well. Must add if you need to get in the back of a truck or car when carrying bikes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for my Jeep Wrangler Bought this to allow me to carry my bike and open the Jeep tailgate. This swing-away was exactly what I needed for my Jeep. I use this with a Rhino Rack bike carrier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Back swing is awesome!! I bought the Yakima Back Swing after a frustrating camping trip full of moving bikes around. It was super easy to build and mated perfectly with my Yakima Hold Up bike rack. I use this on a Chevy Express van and it allows great access to the rear of the vehicle and the gear inside. The rack doesn't bounce around noticeably, even on the mean streets of Park City, Utah. I highly recommend the Back Swing for anyone needing to get their bikes outta the way.

What is the weight limit of this hitch arm? can it handle a 4 bike rack?

Asked by: Alan
Hey there Alan, good question! The weight capacity of this hitch arm is 250 lbs. If your 4 bike rack, bikes included is under 250 lbs, you should be good to go! I hope this helps!

I have a Saris Thelma hitch rack with a 2" receiver. Will this work with it? Also, if I order it and it does not work, can I return it to my local Moosejaw store?

Asked by: Tommyboyks
Thanks for reaching out! YES, the Yakima BackSwing Hitch Bike Rack will be compatible with your 2" receiver. And if for some reason it doesn't work out, feel free to return it to our shop :)

Would this work with a Thule helium Pro 3 bike rack which has a Snug Tite connector?

Asked by: JohnD
Hey there, thanks for your question. The Yakima BackSwing Hitch adds a swingaway feature to most 2" hitch racks. As long as you are able to use your Thule Helium Pro 3 with its 2" receiver this should work great. The Thule Helium converts to fit either a 1.25" or 2" hitch assuming you have all the parts. I hope this helps!
