Our take on the Yakima StageTwo 2 Premium Platform Hitch Bike Rack

The StageTwo is Yakima's premium two-bike platform hitch rack. Bikes sit on two offset wheel trays with a StrongArm hook that clamps the front wheel, so no frame contact and no risk to carbon or painted finishes. It carries up to 70 lb per bike, fits wheelbases to 52 inches, and handles fat tires, kids' bikes and e-bikes. A remote tilt lever drops the rack for rear hatch access, and SKS locks secure the bikes and the rack to the receiver. Rivals like the Thule T2 Pro and Kuat NV 2.0 also grip by the wheel, but the StageTwo's tool-free SpeedKnob install and wide bike fit are its main draws. Owners like the solid build and easy loading; some find it heavy to lift on and off alone.
