Yakima Unveils New, Expansive 2025 Product Line

The new Yakima collection for Spring 2025 delivers innovative solutions for every adventure, from enhanced bike racks to expanded cargo options and revolutionary camping solutions.

“Our 2025 lineup represents our continued commitment to over-delivering on safety, support, and satisfaction,” said Garrett Barnum, Director of Category Management at Yakima, “while adding a healthy dose of innovation to help our customers reach new heights in their outdoor pursuits.”

The updated StageTwo platform hitch bike rack leads the charge with significant enhancements. The new V-shaped tray design makes loading bikes a breeze, especially when paired with the RampUp accessory. The RampUp now stores right on the rack. Whether you’re hauling traditional bikes or e-bikes, the StageTwo’s has an increased weight capacity (up to 70 pounds per bike for 2-inch hitches) and expanded wheelbase compatibility (30-52 inches).

Yakima’s cargo box lineup expands with new sizes in the SkyBox NX and CBX collections. The SkyBox NX Skinny offers a slim 26-inch profile perfect for urban adventurers or those looking to keep space on their rack for a bike or kayak. The SkyBox NX XXL provides a cavernous 22 cubic feet of space for gear-heavy expeditions. The CBX line similarly grows with the introduction of the CBX LG and XXL models, featuring a premium automotive finish.

SkyPeak HD

The new SkyPeak HD hardshell rooftop tent transforms any vehicle into a base camp extraordinaire.

This four-season home-away-from-home features three-sided access, dimmable USB-powered lighting, and strong T-slot mounting points for up to 300 pounds of additional gear. It has a full suite of accessories, including an annex room and crossbar kit. SkyPeak’s softshell brother, SkyRise, has been completely redesigned.

The SkyRise HD is built tough for all conditions, with durable Ripstop polyester fabric and a waterproof coating. Both tents feature quick deployment, comfy memory foam mattresses and panoramic views. All new Yakima tents also feature our new, custom barefoot comfortable ladders, and our new low-profile tent clamps.

The OverNOut awning family welcomes two new members: the OverNOut 180 and 270 XL. With up to 120 square feet of coverage and optional full wall kits, these awnings ensure mother nature never rains on your parade. Full Wall Kits are available for the new styles.

LowRider Trailer

Finally, the new LowRider™ trailer rounds out the 2025 lineup. It offers a purpose-built solution ideal for the fishing community but perfect for paddlesports enthusiasts, as well. With adjustable crossbar positions, fully submersible LED lighting, an available upgrade to alloy wheels and a 750-pound capacity, the LowRider makes transporting kayaks and canoes as smooth as glass on a calm lake.

Yakima is set to significantly expand product availability globally into Europe and Australasia. This includes tents, awnings and regionally specific offerings by vehicle type. This builds upon Yakima’s existing international distribution network and strengthens its regional footprint with facilities in key markets such as Brendale, Australia, and its European distribution center.

The complete 2025 Yakima product line is now available through authorized Yakima dealers and at Yakima.com, with the exception of SkyPeak HD (early April).
