Washington State’s bike/cargo specialists, Yakima have a number of new and updated products for 2025. Added to the lineup are the brand new SkyPeak HD rooftop tent, OverNOut awnings, Cargo Boxes, and Bike Racks.
We have much to cover, so we’ll get right to it.
Let’s start with the brand-new rooftop tent.
SkyPeak HD Rooftop Tent
Retail: $2,999
The SkyPeak HD is Yalima’s first hard-shell roof-top tent. It’s also their first wedge-style tent. I’ve had some experience with Yakima’s soft shell roof top tent, the SkyRise HD Medium, and reviewed it here.
There are T-track slots on the sides and top to add your accessories. With the T-slots, you can mount an awning and cross bars. The available cross bars can hold up to 300 lbs of cargo on top of the tent, so adding your steed, fishing kayak, or even solar panels is no big deal.
Yakima also offers a large, covered annex room for the SkyPeak HD. Once installed, it would make a great room to get out of the elements, or a private place to change into jammies before you climb up to bed.
You can climb into the tent by using one of the three ladder mounting positions, giving it three sided access. Inside are dimmable USB-powered lights, dual pass-through slots for A/C or heaters, solar panel wiring management, organization pockets, and a memory foam mattress with a removable cover and anti-condensation mat.
The SKyPeak HD dimensions are 85″ x 58″ x 6.5″ closed, with a max interior height of 67.5″ when open.
SkyRise SL & HD
Retial: $2,499 (SKyRise HD), $1,799 (SkyRise SL)
Softshell rooftop tents tend to be a bit lighter than the hardshell versions. Both the SkyRise SL and HD are for the camper that is looking for something lighter, with the SL coming in at 119 lbs, and the HD at 130 lbs. The new SkyRise SL and SkyRise HD both offer fast deployment, a great mattress, and huge panoramic windows.
Also new for 2025, all three tents now get a newly custom-designed ladder that has curved rungs that are barefoot (or sockfoot) compatible (comfortable).
OverNOut awnings
Retail: $999 (OverNOut 270 XL), $949 (OverNOut 270 LG), $799 (OverNOut 180), $389 (OverNOut MD), $329 (OverNOut SM)
Throwing shade just got easier, and finding the right size awning for your needs just got better. Yakima’s new awning collection not only gets a name change for all four awnings in the collection, but grows with two new sizes, the OverNOut 180 and OverNOut 270 XL.
Both are self-supporting awnings that use heavy-duty support arms and T-slot clamps for easy attachment. Both also include guy lines and support legs to help keep it stable during big winds.
SkyBox NX Cargo Boxes
Retail: $779 (SkyBox NX Skinny), $749 (SkyBox NX LG), $799 (SkyBox NX XL), $899 (SkyBox NX XXL)
Adding to the NX line of cargo boxes comes the new SkyBox NX Skinny and NX XXL. The NX Skinny offers a slim 26″ profile, which would be perfect for skis, snowboards, shovels, Gazelle tents, and other long-ish, narrow things. Its skinny profile is great for those who need a little extra cargo space but still need room on the roof for bikes or a kayak.
But if you need maximum storage capacity from your cargo box, then the new, much larger SkyBox NX XXL will fit the bill. With a huge 22 cubic feet of space for gear-heavy expeditions.
The LowRider Trailer
Retail: $ 1,999
The new LowRider trailer takes your cargo takes your cargo space needs and puts them at the rear of your vehicle. The new trailer is specifically designed for kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards. It sports adjustable crossbar positions, has fully submersible LED lighting, a 750-pound capacity, and available alloy wheels.
StageTwo Bike Rack
Retail: $849 (StageTwo ’25), $649 (Plus2 Bike Extension)
The updated StageTwo comes with a myriad of new features. First off, the new StageTwo boasts updated ratings for on-road, RV, and eBikes, now accommodating bikes up to 70 lbs. Other new features include a redesigned SpeedKnob and tilt mechanisms.
Plus, the rack gets new V-shaped trays that will help keep wheels centered, making loading easier, especially when paired with the RampUp accessory, which now stores directly on the rack.
The new rack can fit wheels from 16″ to 29″ and tires up to 5″ wide. The StrongArm hook secures bikes by the wheel, protecting painted surfaces and carbon frames.
MOD Drawer System
Retail: $949, $1,099, $1,249 (MOD Home Base MD, LG, XL), $649, $749, $849 (MOD Topper MD, LG, XL), $169, 199, (GearCrate MD, LG/XL) $79, $99 (GearTote MD, LG/XL), $79 (MicroTotes), $99, $129 (WorkSpace MD, LG/XL), $59 (Stetch Net), $99 (Fridge Slide Kit)
The MOD Drawer System can redefine how you pack your vehicle. Especially a vehicle that is short on interior cargo space, like say a Jeep Wrangler. I will bring in this system for review shortly. It could be a game-changer for storing and transporting gear in the Jeep. Stay tuned.
The MOD System is designed to maximize your storage space and keep all of your essentials within easy reach and organized. The beauty of the MOD System is that it’s a non-permanent, modular system: Simply attach the MOD HomeBase to existing tie-down points.
Don’t worry, if your vehicle doesn’t have tie-down points, there’s a MOD Fit Kit for you. Once tied down, you can start building your ideal setup. It has the flexibility and customization to fit all your needs.
The MOD System can be built into more than 30 configurations when paired with various available accessories. The foundation of the system is the MOD HomeBase. It has built-in attachment points for the MOD Toppers (half-size drawer add-ons, featuring the same premium bamboo finish as HomeBase). Then you can add the MOD GearCrates, which are premium, quick-attach, lidded totes.
The super convenient MOD GearTotes fold down flat and are lidless totes, perfect for easy-in/easy-out storage. When adding the MicroTotes you can dial in your drawer organization to another level.
Adding accessories like the MOD Work Space, which is a drop-in tabletop for the HomeBase drawer, and the Fridge Slide Kit for Dometic powered cooler, you are reaching pro-level organization. Use the Stretch Cargo Net that attaches to the Toppers to keep items from sliding around on top of the MOD System. Finally, add the Riser Kit to allow the HomeBase drawers to clear hatch openings or to simply add storage underneath your HomeBase.
