I looked up some pictures of a Yeti 575 to get a better idea of the frame design. The unique top frame bar design would require the use of a bike adapter bar in order to hold the bike on a two arm bike rack such as the Kuat Beta, # B202-114.

There are several different bike adapter bars available. I recommend the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. It telescopes from 16 inches to 31-1/2 inches and the black aluminum finish compliments the the dark finish on the Beta, # B202-114. I have included a link to a video review showing how the bar works.
