Using the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack is easy. First, make sure your vehicle receiver is clean and in good condition. Then, use the Tool - free locking SpeedKnob™ 2.0 to attach the rack to your vehicle. It's quick and doesn't require any tools. Once the rack is installed, use the StrongArm hook to secure your bikes. The hook works well for different types of bikes like road, mountain, and fat bikes.
If you want to access the rear of your vehicle, just use the forward - facing remote tilt lever. You can even tilt the rack forward with the bikes loaded.
When it comes to carrying more bikes, you can add the StageTwo +2 to increase the capacity to four bikes.
Here are some things to keep in mind. The maximum weight per bike is 27.2 kg on the road and 16.3 kg off - road. Also, the wheelbase of the bike should be up to 132 cm/ 52'. If you have fat bikes, you may need the separately - sold StageTwo Fat Bike Kit for wider tires.
For maintenance, regularly check the locking cables and the SpeedKnob to make sure they are in good working condition. Clean the rack after each use, especially if you've been on off - road trails. This will help keep your rack in top shape and ensure it lasts a long time.
