Amazon.com Product Description
The Yakima SuperJoe 2 is an ideal trunk-mounted bike rack for occasional riders who still want the extra protection of anti-sway cradles. Designed to hold up to two bikes at once, the SuperJoe 2 is outfitted with Yakima's easy-to-install Quick Trigger Hub System. All you need to do is hook the secure six-strap system to your trunk and you're set. Once installed, the SuperJoe 2's narrow arm design fits a wide variety of bikes, from racing models to mountain bikes. And thanks to the integrated StableCradles--which hold your bikes firmly in place--and the padded, paint-protecting feet, you needn't worry about damaging either your bikes or the car. Designed to fit several vehicle types, including minivans and hatchbacks, the SuperJoe 2 comes with glass hatch hooks for glass trunk or gate mounts and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

 Ease of use was my concern. August 3, 2008

Having a different make of rack in the past that was difficult to assemble and mount, I was apprehensive about getting a universal type mount this time, but the Super Joe II was everything thing that I hoped it would be. It was practically pre-assembled when I got it and the directions were very clear with plenty of diagrams showing how to install it. The only drawback that I see is that the rack itself has no theft deterent. Anyone can simply loosen the straps and remove it from your trunk lid; not good if you live in a high theft area. Luckily I don't.

After reading all the reviews of other racks..I decided on this on... I'm glad I did... Been using it for a month... I have two trek mt bikes, they fit just perfect. I have a 2004 honda accord..fits perfect. I run a cable from the hook on the back bumper, up around the bikes and lock it... Anyway it rides real stable, no swaying. Highly recomend it!!

This bike rack works exactly as described. The enclosed instructions list most models of cars and provide settings that worked perfectly for me. The product is sturdy, high quality construction. I am glad I chose the Yakima Super Joe instead of one of the higher priced racks I found on the Internet. This one suits my needs perfectly.
fits my car, work well, easy to install, remove & re-install June 24, 2010

I bought this particular auto bike rack because other models' instructions led me to believe those racks wouldn't fit my car. I own a 2004 Infiniti G35x sports sedan. This rack fits very well. Once the straps were adjusted for length the first time, re-installation after removal becomes very easy. Takes about 2-3 minutes to put back on. The trunk of my car is short externally and this bike rack easily fits inside the trunk when removed. It hold two bicycles. I've never used it to transport two, I only use it for my road bike (one bike at a time). The bike is well secured by the rack and I drive with confidence that the bike is safe and secure. I've wondered if two bikes would fit well because I put my single bike on the outside arms of the rack; the inside arms are a little (too?) close to the trunck, and I wonder if there is room for the pedals of the bike if I used the inside arms (but this is just conjecture, b/c like I said, I never tried the inside arms). This rack is nice because it has three contact point with the bike (not just two) where the rubber straps wrap around the bike tightly. Also, it has six points of contact (three on each side) with the car via the 'cloth' adjustable straps (some cheaper racks have on 2 on each side). Product was delivered promptly in good condition. I recommend this to folks. One thing, the instructions were not crystal clear - it might take a little thinking to figure out how to install it the very first time, but once it is set up subsequent installations are a snap.

This bike carrier is well constructed, and relatively easy to install once you determine the correct set-up for the make/model of your vehicle. The list of vehicles provided needs to be updated, I don't recall any make/model newer than 05 on the list. I drive a 2008 Chevy Malibu, and my car was not on the list. I had to improvise a little to determine the correct set-up for my car, so the installation for the "maiden voyage" took about 20-25 minutes. I can install the carrier now in about 5 minutes.
Once I got the carrier installed, and my bike mounted, I drove about 8 miles in town to get to the trail head with no mishaps. The carrier held the bike in place very well, I especially like the frame stabilizer mount, and the strap provided to keep the front wheel in place (no more bungees!). I have since made numerous in town and highway trips with no concerns about the old Fuji back there. I have not used the carrier to haul two bikes yet, but I have no doubt that it can do the job.
I would recommend this carrier to anybody, it does a great job, and the price was definitely right.
