Key Selling Point: Hydraulic dampening system for lowering bikes
Why a Velocirax?
Many families and crews are choosing Velocirax for its high quality construction and easier-to-swallow price tag. While not as fine-tuned at the more expensive Alta Racks, the Velocirax does a solid job for a very fair price. The most unique selling point for Velocirax is its hydraulic dampening system. While several vertical racks can lower to the ground while loaded, the Velocirax’s system allows you to slowly lowera fully loaded rack to unload the bikes (or just to access the rear hatch of...

Why a Yakima HangTight?
Compared to the Alta Rack and Velocirax, the Yakima HangTight isn’t as fine tuned and is harder to load. So why might you want a Yakima anyways? In our experience, there are three compelling reasons. (1) You can buy it at REI and get all of the amazing customer service that goes with that. Additionally, if you’re an REI member, dividend baby! (2) You can load bikes with wheels as small as 12″. If you have many years of littles in your future and don’t want to deal with putting 12″, 14″, and 1...

KIDS BIKES: Many 16″, 14″, and 12″ bikes can also be mounted on this rack. For 14″ and 12″ bikes with shorter wheelbases, you will need a bungee cord to connect the rear wheel to the lower horizontal mounting bar.

Key Selling Point: Best for Yakima Fans with only Full Suspension Bikes
Why a Yakima HangOver?
The Yakima HangOver was one of the first vertical bike racks on the market (Yakima actually claims to be the first!), but there has been a lot of innovation by other brands in the years following. While the HangOver may be a great option for very specific uses, it lacks versatility. The 37.5 pound per bike weight limit will be plenty for your average mountain bike, but if you’re looking to haul ebikes, it may become an issue. While we haven’t tested the HangOver ourselves, Yakima is pretty cl...
