Why Choose Yakima?
Yakima's bike racks are designed for ease of use without compromising security. Easy loading, solid bike holding and straightforward installation make Yakima a practical choice for NZ cyclists who regularly transport bikes and want a rack they can trust to do the job without fuss.
Hitch Bike Racks
Yakima's hitch-mounted racks are their most popular product family, attaching to your vehicle's towbar receiver for stable, accessible bike transport. Models like the HoldUp and Dr. Tray provide secure platform-style carrying for two or more bikes, with easy boot access via a tilt function.
Roof Bike Racks
For vehicles fitted with roof bars, Yakima's roof-mounted bike carriers provide an alternative to hitch racks that doesn't restrict boot access. Fork-mount options like the ForkLift hold bikes upright and secure through the fork dropout, keeping the frame clear of any contact points.
Trunk and Boot Racks
Yakima's trunk-mount racks provide a strap-on carrying solution for vehicles without towbars or roof rails. Easy to install and remove, these are a practical option for occasional bike transport and fit most standard hatchback, sedan and SUV body styles common in NZ.
Locking and Security
Yakima racks include cable locks and locking accessories to secure both the rack to the vehicle and the bikes to the rack. For NZ cyclists who leave their vehicles unattended at trailheads, having a properly locked rack provides meaningful theft deterrence.

Whether you're heading to Rotorua's world-class trail network, a gravel route in the Marlborough Sounds or a local bikepacking trip, a Yakima rack makes getting your bikes to the start point easy and reliable. Quality transport gear for NZ's quality riding destinations.
