Description

Yakima BackSwing — Swing-Away Tailgate Access for 2" Hitch Bike Racks

Turn your hitch rack into a swing-away solution and regain fast tailgate access without unloading bikes. The Yakima BackSwing adapter pivots your loaded rack out of the way, making it easier to reach coolers, drawers, gear bins, and pets—perfect for SUVs, trucks, and adventure vans.

Built for real-world travel, BackSwing opens a full 90° and locks in place using a simple release lever. A secondary safety latch keeps everything secured while driving, so your rack stays tight, stable, and ready for highway miles or rough access roads.

Compatibility is the win here: BackSwing works with most 2" receiver bike racks (including Yakima favorites like HoldUp EVO, StageTwo, OnRamp, and more). It secures to your vehicle with a threaded pin for reduced wobble, and the included SKS lock helps protect your rack investment at trailheads and campsites.

Rated for up to 250 lb total load (rack + gear), BackSwing is a strong choice for heavier setups and many eBike-rated racks—while still keeping daily usability front and center. Note: this adapter is not compatible with RVs, campers, or travel trailers.

Designed with smart clearance in mind, the BackSwing tongue features a 3° upward bend in the shaft to help maintain better positioning at the hitch. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, it’s a premium upgrade for riders who want function, security, and access—without compromise.

* What are item Condition and what do they mean?

AO store sells Brand New, Open Box, Like-New, Good, Fair, and AS-IS Condition items, and here’s their definition:

  • Brand New – a brand new and sealed item. Manufacturer's warranty applies.
  • Open Box – a new item that has been opened, but has never been used before with less than 5% cosmetic imperfection. This includes demo models and unused customer returns. Manufacturer's warranty applies.
  • Like-New – an item that has been previously used, in new working condition, and contains 6-40% cosmetic imperfections. 1 Month warranty and 7 days exchange applies.
  • Good – an item that is in working condition without any functional defects, with cosmetic imperfections that are between 41%-75%. This includes items which have been previously repaired. 1 Month warranty and 7 days exchange applies.
  • Fair – an item that is in working condition without significant functional defects, with cosmetic imperfections that are 76% or more. This includes items which have been previously repaired. 1 Month warranty and 7 days exchange applies.
  • AS-IS – an item may be in an untested and unknown condition, both functionally and cosmetically. There may be parts missing/ significantly damaged. This option is for those looking for spare parts to complete their sets. No warranties, refunds, or credits apply.

*NOTE: Our Used items come from previous owners and sometimes miss small, non-essential parts (like lock hole covers for roofracks). We always check that the main parts work properly and replace anything we have in stock (like straps for kayak racks). Feel free to reach out if you’d like to confirm what’s included before you order!

How long do Pre-Orders take to ship?

Our goal is always to fulfill any order within 24 hours, which means we will make every attempt at getting the item shipped within that time frame.

We cannot guarantee a date since used items can take time to aquire. Don’t worry, one of us will be in touch with every step of the way. We sometimes even give loaners until we find the right item for you. Reach out and we can confirm your requirements.

Be advised of the following when placing a pre order:

  • There is a 25% cancellation fee for pre orders due to the hard work that our staff put into attempting to fill your order in the background.
  • You can always switch your choice to a new one if it’s taking too long.

Is the Pre-Order refundable?

Yes it is, and here are the terms.

  • All Pre Order cancellations are subject to 25% fee of the total (after tax) due to the extensive costs incurred throughout the process of filling your order.
  • Any Pre Orders placed by accident are subject to a 5% cancellation fee if notified within 1 hour of order placed. Otherwise 25% fee applies as mentioned above.


We believe this is fair because our hard working staff deserve to get compensated for the work and time they put to get your order filled. Thank you for your understanding.

What is your warranty?

Yes, we ship Canada wide on most of our items, so go ahead, give the gift of outdoors!

It is fully refundable within 48 hours, and non-refundable after. But you can still use it to buy another product from us instead.

Why are your products so affordable?

We have a cool business model to cut the costs for us and pass the savings to you.

  • We cut out fancy packaging and adopted simple and reusable packaging.
  • We accept trade ins or buy outdoor equipment from our patrons to reduce waste and recondition them to meet our high retail standards.
  • We have just a simple warehouse storefront and a customer-oriented team to exceed your product and service expectations, nothing fancy.

We believe this model allows us to further cut the environmental impacts of the packaging and waste while saving you money with our premium outdoor equipment.

We offer 7 day refund or exchange on all our NEW unopened items.
We offer 7 day exchange only on all our USED items (except AS-IS condition).
