Yakima KingJoe 3 Strap Mount Rear Car Rack

September 12, 2009 by Rick · Leave a Comment 



The Yakima KingJoe 3 Strap Mount Rear Car Rack is designed to fit most cars. This rack will usually fit over most spoilers. The simple hub adjustments on theis rack let you fold it up to fit in your trunk when not in use but you can quickly adjust it to fit your car. Six Straps hold the King Joe 3 to your car. Triple padded feet fit your vehicle well and will keep the paint from being damaged.

The arms on the King Joe will fold down while installed on the vehicle. Most trunk racks will always have the arms sticking out in the way even when you are just transporting the rack. The KingJoe will also fold into a smaller package than most Strap Racks when not in use.

MSRP: $155.00 USD | Product # 8002620

I like this rack and would buy the KingJoe 3 as instead of the King Joe 2. The extra length of the arms on the three bike model make it easier carrying just two bikes also.  Chuck likes this rack.

The Yakima Quickback 3 Trunkmount Bike Car Rack has a very unique method for adjusting to different vehicles. When I first saw how this worked I asked “Why didn’t I think of that?” The upper feet are mounted on bars that slide into the lower feet bars for adjusting. This telescoping idea works great.

All of the Yakima Trunkmount features are included in this their top of the line trunkmount, strap mount rack. The Narrow arm design, tri padded feet. The SwitchBlade antisway cradles help to cut down on bike to bike contact. Even if I only was going to carry two bikes I would buy the three bike model. You never know when you will pick up another rider and when carrying just two bike you have even more space between your bikes.
Suggested List:$199.00

This is a top of the line trunkmount rack. I really like the design and how this rack works.
Be sure to check out the Video on mounting the rack on the Yakima Quickback 3 Trunkmount Bike Rack page.

Yakima SpareJoe Spare Tire Bicycle Rack

The Yakima SpareJoe Spare Tire Bicycle Rack will fit a lot of Small SUVs.   There are several features that I like on this rack.  The arms are offset and you can change the  offset from one side to the other.  Many spare tires are not mounted in the middle of the vehicle and if your bike s mounted right straight behind the tire your bike will be sticking urther off one side of your SUV than the other.

Most Spare Tire racks stay mounted on the vehicle.  They are not as easy to mount and dismount as strap mounted racks.  The arms of the Yakima Spare Joe fold down out of the way while this rack is mounted on your car.

Suggested List $130.00 of the Yakima SpareJoe Spare Tire Bicycle Rack
