All hail KingJoe 2! This premium, trunk mounted two-bike carrier from Yakima features quick installation, sturdy construction , padding for your vehicle and easy-to-use arms that distinguish the KingJoe 2 as royalty in the bike carrier kingdom.

KingJoe 2 installs easily with quick-trigger hubs that lock the base in place and a six-strap system to secure the carrier firmly to the vehicle. With a pull and quarter-turn, the hubs are released and the rack can easily be opened or closed to match your vehicle shape. As you turn the knob back, it snaps into place and locks the rack in its current position.


The feet and strap buckles are all covered by premium padding that spares your vehicle's paint job from scratches during transport. The soft padding on the carrier feet helps prevent dents from mounting the rack.


The same style of quick-trigger hubs that control the fit of the base are used to fold the dual arms of the KingJoe down for effortless storage. The narrow design of the arms also allows you to mount a wide variety of bike styles while reducing the need to bike adapter bars.

The arms also include integrated, anti-sway (StableCradle) cradles that hold your bikes in place, preventing front to back rocking, and helping to keep the bikes off your vehicle.

The KingJoe boasts a wide variety of fits, extending to minivans and hatchbacks. The carrier comes with glass hatch hooks for mounting on glass trunks, gate mounts and on other hard-to-fit vehicles.
KingJoe is constructed from sturdy bomber steel and comes backed by a lifetime warranty.
