2 Bike Platform Bike Rack Recommendation Plus What Happened to Yakima TwoTimer
Question:
I saw the review of the Yakima TwoTimer T02468 on youtube, but I dont see it on your site. Has it been phased out? If so, what would you recommend that is comparable? I was considering the Swagman XC2 but it seemed less solid than the Yakima.

Expert Reply:
Yakima likes to upgrade and change models quite a bit. The Yakima TwoTimer is not something we are carrying currently.
They actually got away from the frame mount platform bike racks entirely (as of June 2017) and only have wheel mounted platform racks like the Holdup part # Y02443.
For people considering the Swagman XC but want something more stable the Hollywood Racks # HR200Z is the best option. It's rock solid (see test course video), and is at a really great price.
