Yakima Kingjoe 2bike Trunk Mount Rack

Compatible with the broadest range of vehicles of any Yakima bike rack, the Yakima KingJoe 2 fits up to two bikes on the trunk of your sedan. The KingJoe 2 is equipped with a quick-trigger hub scheme that makes installation a snap, along with a six-strap array that holds your bikes securely in place–even if your car has a spoiler. Plus, the unit’s premium tri-padded feet and metal buckles are expressly designed to protect your car’s paint job. And thanks to the narrow arm design, the KingJoe 2 holds a assortment of dissimilar bikes, from cruisers to mountain bikes. Other details include folding arms that make storage easy; glass hatch hooks to accommodate glass trunk or gate mounts; and integrated StableCradles for greatest or most complete or best possible stability.

Works great, easy to install, secure
By D. C. Wells
Another reviewer found a theoretical flaw in the design and did not use the rack. I understand the critique, but I have used my King Joe successfully for several years with very expensive road bikes. The benefit, as I see it, of using one strap for two tension points is that it is easy to apply and balance the tension points. Unless a strap or buckle actually breaks (unlikely unless damaged), the rack and bikes are secure so long as the straps were placed properly (as easy task) and then tightened.

The rack is well-designed, sturdy and takes only a minute to place and remove.

’95 Buick Regal GranSport (4 doors)
By S. Bullock
***UPDATE***

My wife and I took our two bikes from our home in suburban Washington, DC to Ocean City, Maryland via Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Total driving time with traffic was about ten hours and about 400 miles. I never went over 65 miles per hour and tried to avoid sharp turns and sudden braking/aceleration. I also stopped at least once per trip to make sure the straps were still tight–which they were. The rack worked like a champion! I am so happy with it–it really does well. I guess I was nervous because it seems the lower base is kind of narrow, but it worked out very well in the end. I’ve heard that it’s not a good idea to leave the rack on your car when not carrying bikes. I wonder what the sun’s UV rays do to the straps over time, too. And how would the straps perform if wet? I can’t imagine I’d want to try driving to the beach with this rack in the rain, but I cannot say for sure. Over all–solid.

(Original Review Below)
After searching high and low for weeks, I finally found a bike rack that fits my car. I strapped it on this weekend and was able to shake my whole car just by pushing and pulling vigorously on the bike rack itself–the rack didn’t budge and the straps remained tight. I’ll update my review if I see any problems in the future, but for now my assessment is that the rack is solid.

Perfect Fit for Honda 2010 Insight
By Nighthawk
The 2010 Honda Insight has a rear shape unlike any other car to date, and so, finding a rack that fit it well wasn’t easy. This rack does! Also, it seems to be sturdily built and easily adjustable with BIG pads for the car’s painted surfaces. When attached with all the straps, it’s very firm and steady and it keeps the bikes away from the car’s exterior paint. Soft but firm clamps to prevent marring the bike frames, and has support to keep the bikes vertical on the arms.
