Using the Yakima BackRoad 4 is a piece of cake. First, use the SpeedKnob™ to quickly attach the rack to your car without any tools. Make sure it's locked for security. Then, place your bikes in the cradles. Thanks to the Sliding SwitchBlade™ anti - sway cradles, your bikes won't bump into each other. The ZipStrips™ can be removed to make loading even easier. Use the integrated SKS locking cable to lock your bikes to the rack.
When it comes to accessing the rear of your vehicle, just tilt the rack away. If you want to store it, press the TriggerFinger™ button to fold the arms down.
Here are some things to keep in mind. Always double - check that the rack is properly attached to your car and that your bikes are securely locked. Don't overload the rack; it's designed to carry up to four bikes.
For maintenance, clean the rack regularly with a mild soap and water. Check the SpeedKnob™, locks, and cradles for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything wrong, get it fixed or replaced right away. This will keep your Yakima BackRoad 4 in great shape and ready for your next adventure.
