Does Yakima Hangout Bike Rack Fit 2013 Mini Cooper
Question:
I have a 2013 Mini Cooper - will this bike rack fit my car. I need to carry a Kona mountain bike. my worry is that the bike will hang too low to the road? - the cross bar is not the same as the bikes loaded in your pictures and videos - its slants down so the bike would hang lower at the front end

Expert Reply:
I checked with Yakima and the Hangout 2 part # Y02637 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Mini Cooper and would be a great option.
Since your bike has an sharply angled crosstube you'd want to use an adapter bar like the part # UB01 to span the distance between the seat post and the steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment point for the rack. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
