Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
The Yakima SpareRide lets you carry 2 bikes on your vehicle's factory spare tire. The rack features folding dual arms and SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting ZipStrip straps. It installs with a hand knob and universal mounting plate, and it includes locks to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle.
SuperCush Anti-Sway Cradles with Ratcheting ZipStrip Straps
The Yakima SpareRide has premium cradles to carry and protect your bikes during transport. The anti-sway cradles limit bike movement to help prevent bike-to-bike contact. Premium TPE padding protects your bikes' frames from damage by absorbing road shock and vibration.
The cradles also include ratcheting ZipStrip straps that make loading and unloading your bikes a breeze. Simply insert the strap into the buckles on the cradle and push it down until it's snug around your bike frame. The ZipStrips can be removed quickly by pressing the release levers on the sides of each anti-sway cradle.
Folding Dual Arms
The SpareRide's dual arms provide excellent stability for your bikes during transport. The quick-release TriggerFinger control lever lets you quickly fold the arms down when you're not carrying any bikes. When you're ready to load the rack up again, simply lift the arms until they lock in place with an audible click.
Easy Installation with Universal Mounting Plate
The rack installs on your spare tire mount with a plate and shank. The mounting plate fits over the lug nuts of your spare tire mount, and the shank extends from the plate through your spare tire's pilot hole. You can position this plate at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock, depending on your lug nut pattern.
Once the plate is installed, simply replace your spare tire, slide the rack onto the exposed shank, and tighten the hand knob.
The system comes with a standard shank and 2 extensions shanks so you can mount the rack on vehicles with oversize tires up to 12-1/2" wide. The shanks swap out easily with the included Allen wrench.
Rubber TireTread Spacers
The SpareRide features a pair of rubber TireTread spacers on the back of the rack. These spacers stabilize the rack against the spare tire and help protect the rack and your bikes from vibration. These spacers also guard your spare against damage caused by the rack rubbing against the tire.
Complete Security
The SpareRide includes 2 keyed-alike Same Key System lock cores - one in the cable lock and the other in the hand knob. The cable lock wraps around your bikes, through the built-in anchor point on the front of the mast, and locks to itself. The hand knob tightens the rack to your spare tire. These SKS cores can be swapped out to make all your Yakima gear keyed alike.
Integrated Bottle Openers
An integrated bottle opener on the end of each arm allows you to enjoy a cold one after a long ride.

Jeep Wrangler
After a couple of weeks of researching which type of bike rack I wanted for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK (hitch mount or spare tire), I decided on the spare tire mount. And after a 4hr (roundtrip) mountain biking weekend escape, I'm very happy with my decision.
What I like about the rack:
well built, very sturdy with bike(s) mounted (no sway or rattle), arms fold down and lock in place when not in use (looks slick), full access to cargo area without needing to remove rack, rack and bike cable locks included, economical, lifetime warranty and of course the dual bottle openers ; )
What I would improve upon or revise in a future model:
arms should be longer (even just an inch because bikes rub slightly so I had to add padding), more use of aluminum rather than plastic (thinking long term durability of the plastic locking teeth and arms)

This bike carrier is great!
It is very well made and is secured to the vehicle with a keyed lock. It comes with a locking cable for the bike as well. I can open the tailgate and access the trailer hitch while the bike is on the carrier.
I could not be more pleased!

2012 Jeep Wrangler
1 year of use and I am extremely pleased with the Bike Rack. Installed easy, fits well, holds bikes very securely, easy and quick to put bikes on and off with the U shaped straps that click into place like a snowboard binding. Mounting lock and cable lock work great. I do use an extra bungee cord wrapped around bike frames and hooked onto bike rack to even minimize swinging of bikes more. Both men's frame bikes and women's frames with the add-on cross bar work well. Bikes clear Jeep body when swung open. Only issue was with the 2012 Jeep Wrangler 2 door. The metal arm that controls swinging open of rear door failed twice. It was due to the weight of the rack plus bikes overpowering the cheap little pins at the end of the control bar. Added my own strap from a boat trailer winch strap to limit door swing travel from going too far and breaking the arm again. See picture of strap and metal arm. Overall a great bike rack. -Fred O.

Toyota FJ Cruiser
Pros:
1. Awesome rack, and cable locking device
2. Great price from e-trailer (-$40 vs. Amazon)
3, Super sturdy and flexioble rubber tiedown straps make securing the bike easy
4. Had it installed on the FJ Cruiser in < 5 mins.
5. Doesn't stick out too far.
Cons:
1. Wish the felt pads that protect the bike from rubbing against the rack were rubber instead of felt (one had already fallen off)
2. Blocks the back up camera on the FJ (this was called out to me prior to purchase though)
3. The way the bike hangs off the rack, it blocks the rear back up senser so it's always going off if it's activated.

Great bike rack. I had tried several for my Rav4, but none were quite right. This rack is solid, fits nicely on my spare tire. I am now able to access my trunk with my bike rack in place! Relatively easy installation, though had some trouble unscrewing one piece.

The rack is a quality piece of equipment and I'm very impressed with it's workmanship. I installed it on my 2006 Honda CR-V and it went on without any problems. The entire installation may have taken 15 minutes. Two bikes fit very tightly.
Also, I ordered the rack on a Monday and it was delivered on Thursday. It went UPS ground (no shipping charge). I recommend it to anyone with a CR-V!

The Yakima Spare Tire Bike Rack works great the bikes sit secure and do not pounce or sway back and forth.
by: Derek K.07/30/2014
This is a sturdy bike rack. I like the security feature to lock/unlock the release knob to prevent theft. I have only used the rack for trips of about 10 miles so far but will travel over 200 this weekend (08/14).
Tip: Get something to immobilize the bike's front wheel so it doesn't swing freely.
My only complaint is that the instructions did not mention the need for a hex bolt head (nor the size) for a torque wrench that you will need to attach the rack. Luckily I found a square-shaped head that worked and prevented a trip to Home Depot. Other than this, the directions were very easy to follow.

No complaints. Seems to be a good product
by: Steve08/08/2022
The quality of the Yakima bike carrier is excellent. When mounted, the spare tire holds it securely to my Jeep - the carrier does not move at all. It is very easy to load and unload bikes. etrailer’s customer support is excellent. The endcap on the bike carrier was scratched when it arrived. etrailer immediately shipped out a replacement. I will definitely be purchasing from etrailer again.

Absolutely Love It !!! I liked it from when I saw it on the website. I paid for the 3 day shipping and it arrived on time. 15 minutes later that baby was on the Jeep Wrangler and ready to rock n roll ! I have 30.50 x 15 tires and required the middle size extension piece. Excellent product! My only advice is Keep the key in the vehicle, don't leave the key w the bike in your garage should you have a flat tire on your Jeep.

Great rack and pretty easy installation. Secures bikes really well. Very easy to use once you find the ideal configuration for bikes. The directions could definitely use some clarification. A WORD OF ADVICE TO 2007-12 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS: Based on the stock tire size on the Jeep (P255) the instructions will tell you to use the medium-sized tongue. If you do this, the rack WILL NOT tighten down all the way and will jiggle and rotate on the spare. Use the short tongue that comes pre-installed on the rack system. I had the rack assembled according to the instructions and it was way loose. Had to take it all apart and put back on the short tongue. Other than that setback, assembly was a breeze.

The bike rack is great! I mounted it on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler which had the stock Bridgestone tires on it. It was very easy to install. One bike works great. Two bikes are a little more of a challenge to mount but they do fit (both mountain bikes and road bikes). I used etrailer.com product information and installation videos before I purchased the bike rack. I would highly recommend anyone considering buying this rack to do the same. The videos and the tips they provided were very helpful and saved me a lot of time and hassle. Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast. It was a great experience! I highly recommend the product and etrailer!!

Great, its easy to use on the Rave 4 and we get out with minimum disruption
by: Matt07/24/2019
The product is excellent. Fit my car easily and it has never come loose. I did add Blue Locktite to the threads(just a dot - not too much) and have taken it on and off just twice in the year. The other modification I made was to spread the bike mounts a little further apart on the rails. This meant I had to use a screwdriver to remove a single screw on each and drill new pilot holes about an inch out from the factory ones. This had made it much easier to mount two mountain bikes although I wish I had another 2 inches. Very pleased overall as I don't mind modifying gear a little to meet my needs. Other note - Car Washes such as Mikes won't let you through with this rack. I just go elsewhere.

2012 Jeep Wrangler
Installed on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler. The hardest part was installing the mount behind where you take the spare tire off. It goes on tight, so don't be afraid to give it a smack with a rubber mallet or hammer to get it on there once you line it up. I used the post that came pre-installed, even though the manual says to use the bigger size. Everything fits fine and I tested it out the other day. Works and looks great!

What size tires do you have on your Jeep Wrangler. Mine are about 12 inches wide. Just wondering if I should use the longer post! I also have a 2013 wrangler unlimited. Wonder if that would make a difference.

The bike rack was delivered quickly and arrived in perfect condition..installation was straight forward and was easy. Please with the purchase! This replaced an older receiver hitch rack that didn't fit our Jeep well...at time of review we haven't hauled any bikes with it yet...it seems well built and best if all it doesn't block the usage of the rear gate. It even includes two bottle openers attached to the rack...cheers

- Will the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Jeep Wrangler?I have a great alternative. The Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches # S63360 will not fit on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler with an extra tire attached. This rack has a long hitch shank length of 11 inches from the center of the pin hole to the back of the upright bar. We did measure a Jeep Wrangler with an extra tire mounted, and it measures 13 inches from the center of the pinhole on the hitch. For an alternative rack that gives you extra clearance for an extra tire, I recommend...

When the door is latched it's supported on both sides of the door which has been tested and determined to be strong enough for the rack. Also you need to stay under the weight capacity of the rack too which is 35 lbs per bike. When a vehicle is being flat towed there's a bit of side to side sway as the steering continually...

But even though it will fit your actual tire, Yakima does not approve it for use on motorhomes, just standard passenger vehicles. This is due to the increased movement at the rear of RVs that have more space from the rear axle to the rear of the vehicle. So you decide to use the SpareRide # Y02599 it wouldn't be warrantied.
