Hello Paul,
You can carry just two bikes instead of three if you like when using the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638.
That won't change it's 35 lb per-bike weight capacity though.

Hey Paul, how did things go using the Yakima HangOut 3 with just your two bikes? It’d be great to hear if the setup felt stable and secure on your trips. Your feedback could help others looking to carry fewer bikes on the same rack.
