Description
The Yakima StepUp Swing Platform Hitch Bike Rack offers a practical way to transport two bikes securely without frame contact. Ideal for riders with road, mountain, or ebikes who want quick rear vehicle access without removing the entire rack, this model is a smart choice for daily riders and weekend adventurers alike.
Designed for 2-inch hitch receivers, the StepUp Swing accommodates up to two bikes with wheelbases and tire widths typical of standard and fat tire styles. Its no-frame-contact design reduces potential bike damage, while the swing-away feature provides unobstructed access to your vehicle’s rear hatch or trunk without unloading your bikes.
Loading is straightforward: gently roll bikes onto wheel trays and secure them with adjustable straps and a hook-and-loop frame clamp for added stability. The rack folds when not in use, simplifying storage. Installation requires no additional tools beyond your hitch wrench and is designed for fast mounting and removal.
Constructed from durable materials, the StepUp Swing offers a sturdy platform and lock-ready design for securing your bikes and rack to the vehicle. The robust build supports stable transport, reducing bike sway during travel. Yakima’s reputation for reliability backs this rack’s quality, offering peace of mind for your next adventure.
