  • Our take on the StageTwo

    The Yakima StageTwo is a hitch-mounted platform bike rack that carries two bikes on wheel trays with upright frame hooks. It is built for heavier bikes and rough roads, with a sturdy steel-and-plastic frame and tool-free tilt-away access to the rear of the vehicle. It suits riders who want a platform rack that holds bikes by the wheels and stays put on gravel and highway alike. Against cheaper hanging racks it is more stable and protects frames, but it is heavy to lift on and off the hitch and costs more than entry-level trays.

    Questions and answers

    Does the StageTwo fit my hitch?
    It mounts to a standard hitch receiver, but check your receiver size and tongue-weight rating against Yakima's fit guide before buying.
    Can it carry e-bikes?
    It is rated for heavier bikes, but confirm the combined weight of your bikes stays within the rack's stated limit.
    Does it work with fenders and small wheels?
    Wheel trays adjust for a range of wheel sizes, but very small wheels and full fenders may need extra care.
    Can I open my trunk with bikes loaded?
    Yes, the rack tilts away from the vehicle so you can reach the rear hatch or tailgate.
    Is it hard to install?
    It uses a hitch pin and is straightforward to fit, but it is heavy, so a second person helps.
    Does it lock the bikes?
    Yakima sells locking hitch pins and cable locks separately; the rack itself does not secure bikes on its own.
    Where is the StageTwo cheapest?
    At Yakima, for $949.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the StageTwo?
    Rated 5 out of 5 from 7 ratings.
