Overview
Yakima designed the SpareRide for vehicles with a rear-mounted spare tire, and it holds two bikes. It has integrated SKS locks, trail stops and a bottle opener.
For a vehicle that already has a rear spare, this carries bikes on the back without roof bars. The limit is the load rating, which is modest, and the dependence on that spare tire mount.
Who it's for
Drivers who haul one or two bikes to trailheads and have a rear spare tire will find a simple fit. Anyone whose vehicle lacks that tire, or who carries heavy bikes, needs a rack with a bigger load rating.
Pros and cons
- Mounts on a rear spare tire
- Integrated SKS locks
- Needs a rear spare tire
- Low load capacity
- Care steps not listed
Performance notes
The rack takes its support from the spare tire, so it works only as strongly as the tire mount. The load rating is the limit to watch with two heavier bikes, and trail stops help hold the bikes in place on rough roads.
