Yakima KingJoe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

Another reviewer found a theoretical flaw in the design and did not use the rack.I understand the critique, but I have used my King Joesuccessfully for several years with very expensive road bikes.The benefit, as I see it, of using one strap for two tension points is that it is easy to apply and balance the tension points.Unless a strap or buckle actually breaks (unlikely unless damaged), the rack and bikes are secure so long as the straps were placed properly (as easy task) and then tightened.

The rack is well-designed, sturdy and takes only a minute to place and remove.

Product Description:
Compatible with the broadest range of vehicles of any Yakima bike rack, the Yakima KingJoe 2 fits up to two bikes on the trunk of your sedan. The KingJoe 2 is equipped with a quick-trigger hub system that makes installation a snap, along with a six-strap array that holds your bikes securely in place--even if your car has a spoiler. Plus, the unit's premium tri-padded feet and metal buckles are expressly designed to protect your car's paint job. And thanks to the narrow arm design, the KingJoe 2 holds a variety of different bikes, from cruisers to mountain bikes. Other details include folding arms that make storage easy; glass hatch hooks to accommodate glass trunk or gate mounts; and integrated StableCradles for maximum stability.

Yakima Hitch Ski Mount Review

Yakima Hitch Ski Mount
Average Reviews:

The Yakima Hitchski worked well with my DoubleDown4 bike rack mounted to my Jeep Patriot. Some reviews say the Hitchski causes handling of the vehicle to decrease, but I did not notice a difference in this smaller, 4 cylinder SUV. The skis remained secure even though the bike rack had some bounce to it. Yakima has improved the width of the ski clamps, so loading twin tips is not much of an issue. However, some styles of bindings may limit your ability to clamp down skis as shown in the picture. You may have to clamp in the skis side by side. This limits the capacity, but is not an issue for me because I don't plan on hauling 6 pairs at one time. This rack will never outsell roof mounted systems, but the ease of taking on and off the hitchski is a definite plus. I would recommend this rack to anyone who is looking for a more portable, easier to access ski rack.

This is my 2nd Yakima rack set up. My first set i abused for the last ten years. Some times loaded the roof of my jeep with up to 2 bikes a stacked canoe and kayak next to my Cargo box all at the same time. I'm guessing we put 400 + lbs. It never let me down. So if you dont know much about the Yakima systems all I can say is ya cant go wrong, The best money spent if you do allot of outdoor adventures
