Yakima full swing hitch rack

[BIG-DUKE-6]

Has anyone tried loading a Wild on one of these racks? Will it fit? Can the top tube support the weight of the bike?
Getting ready to order a 2023 and this just occurred to me. TIA

Looking at the website, it states a max of 40lbs per bike.

How much does the Wild weigh? I'm guessing substantially more than that? Even with the wheels off, I'm not sure you'll get under that limit.

That’s 40 lbs per bike. Rack holds 4 bikes. Max I’ll carry is 2. Just not sure if rack will fit under top tube , or if the top tube can even support the weight. Thanks for your input though.

The website states 150lbs max for the rack. And that each bike max is 40lbs.

To me, that's saying that anything above 40lbs (like 18kg?) is too heavy.

Email the manufacturer and ask if its suitable for a heavier bike?

Not something I'd be prepared to risk personally. There's plenty of carriers that will safely handle ebikes or heavier bikes in general.
