The StageTwo is Yakima's platform-style hitch rack for two bikes, built to carry heavy loads including e-bikes up to 70 lbs each. Its StrongArm hook clamps bikes by the wheels, so painted and carbon frames stay untouched, and the tiered StadiumSeating trays offset the bikes to reduce contact between them. A remote three-position tilt drops the rack for trunk access with bikes loaded and folds it flat when empty. It fits 16" to 29" wheels, tires up to 5" wide and wheelbases from 30" to 52", and the 2" version accepts the StageTwo +2 add-on for four bikes. Rivals like the Thule T2 Pro XTR also hold bikes by the wheels, but few match the StageTwo's e-bike rating and fat-tire clearance at this level of build.

Owners of the StageTwo generally praise its sturdy build, the frame-safe wheel hooks and the easy tilt for hatch access. Complaints center on the rack's weight when mounting it solo and on the cost of adding the +2 extension.
The StageTwo is a hitch-mounted bike rack that carries two bikes. Adding the StageTwo +2 extends it to four bikes (compatible with the 2" version only). The StrongArm hook secures each bike at the wheels, which protects painted surfaces and carbon frames.
StadiumSeating tiered, adjustable bike trays are offset to reduce bike-to-bike interference. The V-shaped trays are RampUp compatible for roll-on loading and stow on the rack. A remote 3-position tilt lowers the rack for trunk access with bikes loaded. It folds flat against the car when unloaded. The tool-free SpeedKnob locks for installation and removal.
It fits mountain, road, hybrid, BMX, kids', fat-tire and e-bikes. Integrated SKS (Same Key System) locks secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle receiver. An integrated lock loop accepts your own bike lock. The rack also has a built-in bottle opener.
