Yakima StepUp Swing 2-Bike Metal Swing-Away Rack for Vehicles, Fits 2" Hitches

The Yakima StepUp Swing 2-Bike Metal Rack is a dedicated swing-away hitch rack designed for immediate rear-vehicle access without unloading bikes. Engineered for 2-inch receivers, it carries two bikes up to 65 pounds each on paved roads, accommodating mountain, road, fat-tire, and e-bikes. The integrated swing mechanism moves the entire rack clear of the tailgate or hatch, while a remote 3-position tilt provides additional clearance or folds the rack flat when not in use. This system serves users who require frequent trunk access during daily use or extended travel.

Loading is handled via the StrongArm hook, which secures the front tire to ensure zero frame contact. A flip-away rear wheel strap facilitates faster unloading. To prevent mechanical interference, StadiumSeating architecture tiers the bike trays, while adjustable offsets allow for fine-tuning based on bike geometry. The rack supports 16-inch to 29-inch wheels, tires up to 4.5 inches wide, and wheelbases from 32 to 52 inches.

Security features include SKS locks, a HitchLock, and an integrated locking cable to secure both the rack and the bikes. The unit is rated for 65 pounds per bike on paved roads and 43.5 pounds per bike for RV or off-road applications. Installation is completed via a threaded-bolt system that ensures a stable connection to the hitch receiver. A built-in bottle opener is included as a standard utility feature.
