Located in: Car Racks, Bike Racks

King Joe 2 is the beefiest strap rack Yakima makes. The Quick Trigger Hub System makes installation super easy, and the narrow arm design fits a wide variety of bikes. The great thing about the King Joe (besides its incredible strength)is its folding arm, making storage easy. The six strap system secures the rack solidly to the back of your car, with padded feet that protect your car's paint job.

The King Joe 2 was easy to set up & install. I have only used it a few times,but no problems so far. I plan on using it on a 600 mile trip to the beach soon. I'm sure there will be no issues....

I MADE STICKERS FOR THE STRAP HOOKS READING "U" FOR UPPER, "L" FOR LOWER AND "S" FOR SIDES AND IT MADE THE INSTALLATION EVEN EASIER.

Comments about Yakima Racks King Joe 2:

This is my 2nd bike rack and I love this one by far. I was a little confused when I first took it out of the box but after studying it and reading the manual it was very simple to figure it out. This rack is very well made.

Comments about Yakima Racks King Joe 2:

this is my first bike rack for car. installation was very simple and is easy to get on and off the car. A little tricky to fit a larger childs bike onto it but did it. Was nervous about the stability but don't know if that has to do with my being new at it or the rack itself...made it back just fine/6 hours round trip with some high wind and rain.

as promised, delivered, mounted, works
