Yakima BigHorn 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Capacity: 2 in. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. I have now used this rack at least a dozen times over the last few weeks. First, I will tell you the types of bikes that I use on this rack. I’ve put all 4 of these bikes on this rack with NO ISSUES at all. The first time you load the bikes on the rack, take your time and do it right. It took me a good 15 – 20 mins to find the perfect placement. I did need a cross bar for the ladies step through frame bike. I use a saris crossbar for that bike. I also use several bungee cords to keep the handlebars from moving back and forth. The rubber straps that are provided work wonderfully and keep the bikes very secure with virtually NO play and no scratches on the paint. The majority of the roads I have driven on are pretty much flat and smooth. There are a few roads that are brick paved and I have noticed very little if any rattling or shaking. This is a VERY Easy to assemble. Feels solid and well made. Fits well into the tow hitch receiver. We bought this so that my husband and I could take our bikes and our two kids’ bikes (both 20-inch) to local trails. The bike rack was reasonably easy to assemble, apart from getting the rubber straps that secure the bikes to the rack on. On the one hand, we didn’t mind that so much as we knew that meant the straps wouldn’t be likely to come off easily during use. On the other hand, we wondered how difficult it would be to secure and remove bikes once we’d put them on the rack. We had to purchase adapters at $35 each for our two 20-inch bikes, so keep that potential expense in mind. The adapters were easy to use. Once we began putting the bikes on, we quickly realized that securing the bikes and removing them with the rubber straps was going to be a big pain every single time. To load a bike, it’s important to make sure the cradles and straps are positioned such that they don’t get in the way as you are loading the bike. After more than one bike is on, getting access to the r The rack is great, but the 1.25 version does not fit my Honda Fit 2008 hitch. Anyway I looked at Thule and their receiver is about 0.5 inches shorter and can hold more weight. Also was easier to install. Great rack but didn’t fit on Honda Fit 2008 hitch.

The problem is that the receiver tongue is about 0.24 inch too long, so that I could not insert the pin.
Called Yakima. They were nice and mentioned: Known problem.
To their defense I found a statement on their website that stated that with this car it might or might not fit.
Guess I am in the might not fit category.
Personnely I like the Thule better. The only thing I like better with the Yakima are the standard anti-sway cradles. They are awesome.
With the Thule you have to purchase those separately for 20$.
