Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Review
Yakima’s latest platform hitch-mounted bike rack is the StageTwo, which has been revised for 2025. It easily carries two bikes with wheelbases from 30” to 52” and can expand to carry four with the StageTwo +2 Add-On. It has an impressive 70-pound weight limit for each tray; however, and can accommodate tires from 20” to 29” up to 5” wide, which should accommodate the fattest of fat bikes.
