Pivoting Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The StageTwo has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook. To unload your bike, press the button on the upright arm to release the ratcheting hook, and slide the hook up.
Sliding Rear Wheel Cradles
The wheel trays have cradles with ratcheting straps to secure your rear wheel to the rack. The cradles slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.
Stadium-Style, Tiered Trays
The StageTwo has stadium-style, tiered trays that hold your bikes at different levels to help avoid bike-to-bike contact. The increased angle also adds ground clearance for backing down steep driveways.
Front-Mounted Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The rack quickly installs in your hitch receiver, without the need for tools. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. Insert the safety pin into the hitch pin hole to help prevent the shank from sliding in the receiver.
Complete Security
The rack includes locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. Integrated cable locks thread around your bikes' frames and inserts into the lock at the top of each arm. The cables store inside the arms when not in use.
The lock on the hand knob secures the rack to your vehicle. The hand knob will spin freely when locked so a would-be thief can't operate it. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Hitch Bike Racks
- Best Hitch Mounted Bike Rack For Carrying 2 Bikes Off-RoadI recommend the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR as being the best for carrying 2 bikes while off-roading in the desert. This rack is capable of carrying 2 bikes weighing up to 42lbs each while being used off-road. The design of this rack makes it great for off-road use as the carrier angles up away from your tow vehicle giving you increased departure angle. This will reduce the chances of the rack dragging when on rocks and hills. The Kuat NV 2.0, Sherpa and Piston Pro specifically...
view full answer... - Can the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Be Used on a Flat Towed VehicleIt sounds like you are talking about using the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR in the hitch on your flat towed Jeep. If that is the case then yes, the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR is rated to be used on a flat towed vehicle.
view full answer... - Will the Yakima Stage 2 Rack fit a 2011 Toyota RAV4 w/ Rear Spare Tire Carrier?We haven't tested this bike rack out on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 with the rear mounted spare tire so I called Yakima to ask them about your question. They didn't have that specific of information on their Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # Y47VR but they were able to give me a partial answer and a way for you to confirm it will work. You will have no problems with your bike contacting the rear of your RAV4 when mounted on the carrier. In order to confirm the carrier will work in the...

- How to Install Yakima StageTwo and Ramp for Loading Heavy e-BikeThe Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR is a wonderful new option from Yakima that can handle up to 2 bikes weighing 60 lbs each and you can definitely get the Loading Ramp # Y39VR to make loading/unloading much easier. We currently (March 2022) don't have a video of these 2 parts together but I'm linking the instructions for the ramp as well as a clip for you to check out. Basically there is a slit at the rear-tire-end of each tray that the hooks of this ramp fit into and keep...

- Does Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Allow Tailgate to Open on 2022 Toyota TacomaWe tested the Yakima StageTwo bike rack on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma to see if it will allow the tailgate to open, and indeed it does, even with the bikes loaded. So all you have to do is tilt the rack down, and you can fully open your '22 Tacoma's tailgate. The StageTwo comes in your choice of two different colors: - Black: Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR - Gray: Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y87VR
view full answer... - Can Discontinued Yakima DR Tray Bike Rack Be Used With A Ramp?The now discontinued Yakima DR tray bike rack you have is not compatible with a ramp, and cannot use a ramp due to having no way for one to attach. If you're handy you can probably DIY something with materials from a local hardware store, but if not the only way to use a ramp would be replacing the rack completely with a newer model like the StageTwo # Y47VR which can use a ramp # Y39VR.
view full answer... - What is the Bike Tray Spacing of the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike RackThe distance between the center of one bike tray to the center of the other on the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is 10-1/2". Not every bike rack list the distance between the bikes which can make it difficult to find a suitable bike rack if your bikes are making contact. However, I do have another option that may work for you depending on what style of bike that you have. - Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR is a wheel...
view full answer... - Will Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Work with Front Fender BikeIf your e-Bike has really short fenders then you will be okay to use the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR, but as a rule of thumb we recommend not using a wheel mount bike rack with a front-fendered bike just to avoid damaging the fender. For a standard fendered e-Bike I recommend checking out the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR instead. The StageTwo is a new bike rack design from Yakima and doesn't have a direct predecessor to compare it to. The only other StageTwo Yakima released is just a different...
view full answer... - Why Is The RV Per Bike Weight Capacity Lower For The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack The suspension of an RV is much less sophisticated than a standard vehicle so it places more stress on the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR. Because of the additional wear and tear on the bike rack testing has shown that adding more than 40lbs can damage the rack, leading to damage of the e-bikes. The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR is rated for RV use and has a 60lb per bike capacity when used on an RV. It mounts via the wheels using a strap and ratcheting arm so if you have front...
view full answer... - Is There a Way To Convert The Yakima DR. Tray Replacement Tray To an Add-On For Carrying a 3RD Bike?You are going to have to consider getting a new rack as Yakima discontinued their Add-On 8002475 in 2020. Also there is no way to modify the Replacement Tray # Y86CR you found to work as the mounting arms required are welded to the Add-On tray and not available separately. We do have the Yakima StageTwo # Y47VR with its Add-On # Y77VR. If you are looking for something different please let me know and I can help you find better options.
view full answer... - Will The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Work With Bikes That Have Fenders The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR would have enough capacity for your 60lb e-bikes, but it doesn't have a ramp and attaches to the front wheel, which would interfere with the fenders of your bikes. You could take them off like you said or use the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y36FR, which fits within all your requirements and has a frame mount design that won't interfere with the front fenders.
view full answer... - Best Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Honda CR-V With Hands-Free LiftgateFor your application I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848. This has a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish so it will really blend in with the fascia on your 2022 Honda CR-V, plus it won't interfere with the hands-free liftgate feature, although you may have to kick to either side of the receiver instead of just swinging your feet under the bumper. Attached is an installation video and a photo showing this hitch installed on a 2021 CR-V for you to check out. If...

- Will the Rack Valet Work With the Yakima Stage Two Bike RackYes, your Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR will work with the Hollywood Racks Rack Valet Rolling Storage Cart for Hitch-Mounted Bike Racks # HRRV-1. This storage cart has two receivers, so it'll work with both 1 1/4" shanks and 2" shanks.
view full answer... - Recommended E-Bike Bike Rack For Vehicles, A Motorhome, And A 5th Wheel TrailerHey Steve, I recommend the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack - Black # Y47VR or Gray # Y87VR. It is rated for use on all vehicles, fifth wheels, travel trailers, motorhomes, and flat towed vehicles. When on vehicles it has a 70lb per bike rating and when on an RV a 60lb per bike rating. The wheel cradles can fit tires up to 3.25" wide with up to a 52" maximum wheelbase. The loading ramp for this rack is sold separately with part # Y39VR. I've attached a short video below where AJ will go over...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack For Use On A 2022 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS Fifth WheelThe Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH83JV is not rated for use on 5th wheels so you would need the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y47VR ( # Y87VR for gray) instead, which is rated for use on 5th wheel trailers. It has a 60lb capacity when used on an RV and 70lb capacity when used on a vehicle. It's a wheel mount design just like the T2 Pro you were looking at. I've attached a short video below where AJ will show you this rack in use and go over more of the features.

It looks like Draw-Tite recently (December 2021) updated their fit list to include the 2021 model and if you check out the attached clip from the linked instructions you can see that there are provisions for cutting the fascia on the S model. If you are planning on towing with this vehicle then you need wiring like the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit like part # 989900. If the purpose...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV For Carrying 2 E-Bikes Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT22MR will fit your 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV. This will allow you to carry your 2 e-bikes using a bike rack like the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR. This particular rack is rated to carry up to two 70lb e-bikes. The e-bikes can be easily loaded using a Ramp # Y39VR which at full extension is 65-1/4" tall. In the event your bikes impair the view of your vehicle tail lights and license plate we do have the Kit # Y59VR you can add to...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Height and Looks on a 2022 Kia TellurideAs far as height clearance goes all of the trailer hitches that fit your 2022 Kia Telluride will be similar. We haven't had the opportunity yet (November 2021) to install all 3 hitches on the exact same vehicle so I don't have a direct comparison though. I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR because it has the matte black finish that not only looks better than the traditional glossy black finish, but it also does a much better job of hiding any damage that...

- 2022 Ford Escape Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike RackThe trailer hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR because it has a matte black finish that does a great job at blending in with the trim on your vehicle plus it does a much better job at holding up to the elements than the classic glossy black finish does. If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend going with the Yakima StageTwo # Y47VR because it is one of Yakima's most recent additions to their bike rack selection...

The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 4 Bikes item # Y75AR in gray or item # Y85AR in black has just enough clearance when tilted down. We tested the 2 bike version of the Yakima StageTwo item # Y47VR on a Pacifica awhile back. It's the same bike rack without the extension. I have linked that review video below so you can see the clearance when the rack is tilted down.

This features a hidden crosstube for a clean looking installation and then it also has a mounting bracket for wiring in case you'd like to add wiring like the T-One # TK59VR and a bracket like # 18144. Then if you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend checking out the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR because it has a lot of easy-to-use features and is compatible...

- What is the Best Way to Carry Bikes with a 2021 Tesla Model 3The absolute best way to carry bikes on any vehicle is with a hitch because you'll have access to more bike rack options, the bike racks will be easier to install, and you'll have an easier time loading up your bikes on a hitch rack as opposed to on your roof or on a trunk mount option. For your 2021 Tesla Model 3 I recommend installing the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch which comes as part # 391TES317 if you plan on only using it for a bike rack, or the part # 391TES317T which includes...

- Can Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Be Used on a 2-1/2 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Hitch ReceiverThe Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR won't secure properly to the adapter you're talking about. It's a great rack and I love the anti-rattle system, but the anti-rattle is built to essentially brace itself inside the receiver and then there is a small security pin to help keep things lined up (see attached photo), but in your setup that security pin would be the thing holding the spacer/reducer and the rack wasn't designed to operate like that. For an alternative option I recommend using...
