Yakima Security Cable

This cable is specifically engineered for Yakima DoubleDown and BigHorn hitch-mounted bike racks. It is not a universal lock, so it won't be compatible with other rack models or brands.

Yes, the cable features a weather-resistant construction designed for outdoor use. You can keep it attached to your rack, though we recommend checking the lock mechanism periodically to ensure it remains free of debris and operates smoothly.

The cable loops around your bike's frame and the rack's structure, then locks into place. This creates a physical barrier that prevents someone from simply lifting your bike off the rack while you are parked.

The length is optimized for the DoubleDown and BigHorn racks to secure the bikes currently mounted on them. While it can secure multiple bikes depending on their frame geometry, it is primarily designed to lock the bikes directly to the rack's main mast.

No lock is completely theft-proof. This cable serves as a strong deterrent for opportunistic theft when you need to leave your gear unattended for short periods, but it should be used as part of a layered security strategy.
