Bike rack for tahoe recommendation
Posted on 3/7/25 at 10:39 am

I'm looking for a rack that can hold two road bikes without disassembling. Preferably would be able to swing open so I can open the back without having to remove the bikes. Any recommendations for this? Thanks in advance.

I have this Yakima 4-bike rack and it does exactly what you are looking for. They also have a two-bike model.

I hear that 1up makes the best rack. I've had many years use from various Kuat racks but they eventually have issues. If you value your bikes paint at all spend the money to get a rack that holds the bike by the tires and doesn't clamp on the top tube because it will eventually rub the paint off.

I have a 1up as well as a RockyMounts, and over the years have owned Kuat, Saris, Yakima, and Thule. Some things I like better on the RM and some I like better on the 1up but both are the best racks I've owned and either one is available with a swing-away mount.
Wholeheartedly agree with tire clamp over frame clamps

Not purely for bikes so maybe disregard but the PakMule cargo carrier is pretty sweet and multi versatile if ever need extra cargo room. It's like adding 1/2 the size of a standard truck bed. Can open doors/tailgates depending on how you got it loaded too
they have a bike rack accessory attachment and think it can hold 3 bikes:

I have had this model Yakima for 15 years or so. I like it a lot. Works well. I will tell you though that getting 4 bikes on there is VERY difficult. 3 works great, but I usually throw a 4th bike in the back of the SUV instead.

I've owned a 5 bike Velocirax the last 2 years. Stays on my vehicle 24/7. It's heavy as hell and not something you will want to constantly take on and off.
Has held up great. Some of the rubber tire straps are starting to crack and I'll need to order some replacements soon. I need a 4 bike carrier and I like how the bikes don't stick out as far behind the vehicle. I also have Kuat 2 bike rack and it's served me well also. I have this odd fear that I will fumble the bike on the Kuat and punch a hole in my back windshield with a MTB flat bar one day as the Rev grips I use on a couple of my bikes have aluminum end caps/
