Yakima 8002770 StepUp Swing Bike Rack 2"

The Yakima StepUp Swing 2” heavy-duty platform hitch bike rack features a premium swing-away mechanism for unobstructed vehicle access. Built to haul heavy electric bikes and oversized fat-tire setups, this e-bike rated rack provides frame-free wheel attachment while maximizing ground clearance via a tiered architecture. Its sleek layout ensures quick trunk access and straightforward loading without risking vehicle body or paint damage.

Features:

• Swing-away base pivots the entire loaded rack away from the bumper to grant clear entry to your trunk, tailgate, or hatch.
• Heavy e-bike compatibility safely accommodates two bicycles weighing up to 65 lbs each, including mountain, road, and youth models.
• Zero-frame-contact hooks secure your bikes firmly at the front rubber tire, preserving custom paint finishes and delicate carbon frames.
• Tiered StadiumSeating™ spine positions bikes at differing heights to prevent handlebar rubbing while raising clearance for steep inclines.
• Three-position remote tilt drops down easily for rapid rear-vehicle entry when loaded and stores flush against the bumper when empty.
• Lateral tray adjustments allow customizable side-to-side positioning to completely clear out pedal and seat post interference.
• Roll-on ramp compatibility pairs with V-shaped wheel trays to support effortless loading, stowing cleanly away when not in use (sold separately).
• Lock system features matching keys to cable lock your bikes to the rack and the rack to your trailer hitch.
• Built in cable loop offers an easy way to attach your own additional cable lock for extra bike security.
• Internal anti-wobble mechanism expands within the hitch receiver for a wobble-free connection between the rack and hitch.
• Rack quickly secures to hitch with included Allen key that stores on the rack when not in use.
• Spine-mounted bottle opener integrates a convenient beverage tool directly into the heavy-duty steel frame for post-ride refreshment.
