Yes, it does! The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 4 Bikes item # Y78TD and item # Y88TD can both be converted to a 2-bike carrier. The capacity for the bike rack breaks down as follows:
70 lbs per bike - inner 2 positions closest to the vehicle
40 lbs per bike - outer 2 positions farthest from the vehicle
What kind of bikes do you have?
