Yakima has the trick new HangOver vertical bike rack, the  OutPost HD and OverHaul HD truck racks, the multi-functional Easy Rider trailer and BigCatch kayak carrier.

HangOver

It’s their first vertical bike rack and was designed to meet the brand’s demanding standards. Tested in the lab and on the road, the HangOver safely hauls up to six mountain bikes to the trailhead.

Perfect for group rides, big families and tour operators, the HangOver’s vertical orientation carries more bikes in less space, and its easy-to-operate tilt mechanism makes accessing the tailgate a breeze.

Available in four- and six-bike capacities, the HangOver securely holds any bike with a suspension fork. Soft padding protects the fork’s finish, and rotating wheel cups accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases.

The HitchLock secures the rack to the vehicle and, of course, Yakima’s signature bottle opener is built in. The 6-bike version retails for $699 and the 4-bike for $549 (4-bike) and will be available in Spring 2019.

OutPost HD

Yakima is doubling down on its truck racks for 2019. Unparalleled in their robustness thanks to Yakima’s new Off Road rated standards, the heavy-duty rack collection includes three different systems: OverHaul HD, OutPost HD, and BedRock HD. Designed to handle heavy loads on backcountry terrain, the OutPost HD is built for rugged overland adventures. The mid-height design provides a low center of gravity, easy accessibility to gear, and the perfect platform for the SkyRise rooftop tent.

The engineered aluminum construction delivers an unmatched 500lb on-road carrying capacity and is Yakima Off-Road Rated up to 300lbs. And it’s the foundation for a fully loaded overland rack system. Pair the OutPost with the HD Bar length that best fits the bed and gear, then add Yakima SideBars, mounts and accessories to outfit any truck for every adventure. It will retail for $470.00 and be available in Spring 2019.

Easy Rider trailer with Big Catch kayak carriers

Easy Rider

Their Easy Rider trailer has two levels of storage, and it’s capable of carrying up to 500 pounds of weight. The bottom level can accommodate a 48-inch-wide kayak/boat or boxes, while the top level will hold a rooftop tent, bike racks, gear baskets, boxes and up to two kayaks. It has independent suspension for a smooth ride and standard sized trailer wheels and a spare. The aluminum trailer weighs 150+ lbs making it light enough to move around by hand, and the long vehicle attachment arm folds up for storage.

BigCatch

Bust out the big boats! With a whopping 150 lb. capacity, the BigCatch is the first universal kayak saddle strong enough to handle heavy fishing kayaks and sit-on-tops. Simple to install and easy to load, the rubber-padded saddles conform to the kayak’s hull for a super-secure, full-contact carry that’s easy on the boat.? The kit includes felt pads that easily secure to the rear pads to help slide the boat into the cradle. Heavy Duty straps and Bow/Stern Tie Downs are also included, and the universal mounting hardware fits most roof racks. The carrier will retail for $199 and be available in Spring 2019.
