For over 40 years, Yakima has been a trusted name for outdoor enthusiasts needing reliable transport solutions. Now, the company is raising the bar with its 2025 product line, featuring upgraded bike racks, expanded cargo options, and advanced rooftop tents. 

“At Yakima, we don’t just want to carry your gear, we want to carry your trust,” said Garrett Barnum, Director of Category Management at Yakima. “Our 2025 lineup represents our continued commitment to over-delivering on safety, support, and satisfaction while adding a healthy dose of innovation to help our customers reach new heights in their outdoor pursuits.” 

Standouts in the New Yakima Collection 

A standout in the new collection is the redesigned StageTwo platform hitch bike rack. Featuring a V-shaped tray for easier loading and a RampUp accessory for smooth mounting, this rack now supports bikes up to 70 lbs — ideal for e-bike users. 

Yakima’s cargo solutions are also expanding. The SkyBox NX Skinny offers a sleek profile that allows space for additional equipment like bikes or kayaks, while the SkyBox NX XXL delivers 22 cubic feet of storage for extended trips. The CBX series introduces new sizes with a premium finish, merging style and functionality.

Gear for Everyone 

For rooftop tents, Yakima’s SkyPeak HD hardshell tent is a top choice. This four-season tent includes USB-powered lighting, three-sided access, and T-slot mounting for extra gear. The SkyRise HD and SL tents also get an upgrade, now featuring durable materials, memory foam mattresses, and panoramic views for an enhanced overlanding experience. 

Paddlesports lovers will appreciate Yakima’s new LowRider trailer, designed with adjustable crossbars, a 750-pound capacity, and fully submersible LED lighting for effortless kayak and canoe transport. 

The 2025 Yakima lineup will be available through authorized dealers and Yakima.com, with the SkyPeak HD tent launching in early April. As Yakima expands globally, more adventurers will have access to its trusted gear. For more details, visit www.yakima.com.
