Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
this rack was a huge disappointment. first of all, the velcro straps are hardly reliable. they weather easily in the rain and wind, and don't provide a secure hold on the bike. also, two of the rubber pieces that hold the velcro have snapped from the pressure of securing the straps tightly. another problem is that when i ride on the highway, my bike flaps in the wind. if i have a passenger, i usually have to them "spot" the bikes, to make sure they don't fly off the back of the car! many times, the wind causes the bike to inch towards the end of the poles, which puts a lot of weight at the least stable point of the rack. also, over time, the straps that secure the rack to the trunk loosen, and are hard to re-secure. i have basically had to tie a series of complicated knots in the straps to keep the rack in place. for the avid rider, this rack is definitely not a good choice!

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
A great overall rack that installed in less than 20 minutes. Its very solidly built and fits well on the trunk of my car. The only minor problem is that the sides of my car trunk are not completely vertical. They come down at angle and so the side straps tend slide down over time.

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
This is a great rack. It's a different construction than the other bike racks I used in the past as it just has one pivot point and the bottom and side straps are actually just two straps that run from the bottom of the truck lid, through the rack, and then to the side of the trunk lid. It worked best on my Mazda 626 so that the bikes are held high. It looks a little funny but I can leave the front wheel of my mountain bike on during transit and not worry about it hitting the ground. Also this rack has the bike stability feature that holds the middle tube of the frame for, well, better stability. I've had no problems with the rack looking or feeling like it was going to fall off my car and I've put it through some rigorous tests on back roads [...]

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
I love my bike, but I don't love installing bike racks! I'm quite a girl when it comes to things like this, but even I made it work. At times, the installation instructions were confusing--it was hard to decipher what straps the pictures and steps were referring to. It took me a while, but the result was worth it. I safely got my bike home without a scratch to my car! It's durable and reasonably priced. And the best part is now I can bring my bike with me when I travel! :)

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
I bought a Thule rack first, but my small bike couldn't fit on it. The guys at the REI store helped me open some boxes for other racks and found that this one was an easy fit. I installed it on my car super easy and it was perfect!

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
Haven't had any trouble yet but have only had it a month. The newly designed rack uses rubber straps and the mounts are firmly attached so some of the earlier flaws have been fixed. Only problem I could see is if your bike had an odd geometry it would be tough to mount on this rack. Also tough to mount a womens and a mens bike at the same time.

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
Says it will fit my Lexus GS350 on the fit test, but they forgot the 07' trunk closes automatically and when it thinks there is something in the way (bottom strap), it doesn't close, therefore, it doesn't fit! Maybe good for another make/model.

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
I've owned/borrowed several examples of this type of rack, and this is the best. It sets up easily, and thanks to the seat tube clamp, the bike is literally immovable. On extended trips, the straps will loosen a bit, so be sure to check them when you stop for lunch or whatever. Oh yeah: I can also open my trunk with the rack (and even with the bike) installed. Nice!

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
Initially, the Yakima name was enough to give me high expections for my new bike rack. Unfortunately, I could not get my mountain bike to remain stable at any speeds over 45 mph. One of the cradles the bike sits upon would wiggle all the way to the end, making the bike extremely unstable. The rubber straps continually came undone during transit, and I found myself having to pull over every 15 minutes to resecure the bike. The rack itself fits the car easily and setup is a breeze, but there was no way that I could keep the bike stable. I don't know if the rack I owned was defective, or if this is common. I was definitely using the rack correctly. On my 3rd and final use of the rack, I nearly lost my bike. I returned the rack and went with a different one.

Comments about Yakima SuperJoe 2 Trunk Rack:
I purchased a King Joe 3, but it didn't stay on my car's trunk. I exchanged it for the Super Joe 2, and I couldn't be happier. This is definitely a case where less is more.
Install was a snap and it fit much more securely than the King Joe ever did.
My only complaint is that the strap buckles seem a bit flimsy. They'll do for now, but overtime they could be an issue.
