HoldUp Bike Rack - 2in

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I like this rack for riders running different bikes because the tray adjustments handle long wheelbases and wide tires without fuss. The tilt positions are practical, not gimmicky, and the rack stays quiet and solid on rough roads. It’s a dependable solution for frequent use.”

We rely on the HoldUp Compact Hitch Platform Bike Rack when consistent loading speed and bike stability matter. Yakima designed this rack around a low-profile, hitch-mounted platform that keeps bikes balanced and separated while reducing overall bulk behind the vehicle. For riders who transport bikes multiple times a week, that ease of use adds up fast.

The wheel-only retention system uses adjustable front cradles and offset trays to eliminate frame contact and accommodate a wide range of wheelbases, including modern full-suspension mountain bikes and electric mountain bikes. Tire compatibility spans from 20-inch wheels up to 29-inch wheels with widths reaching 4.8 inches, covering everything from road and gravel setups to plus-size trail builds. Each tray supports up to 40 pounds per bike, and the rack is approved for RV use within specified limits.

A three-position tilt mechanism allows the rack to fold flat when empty, tilt down for rear vehicle access when loaded, or stay upright for transport. Integrated SKS locking secures the rack to the hitch receiver, with a built-in loop for optional bike locks. For riders looking for a compact, wheel-secure platform rack that adapts easily to different bikes, the HoldUp Compact is a practical, durable choice for daily driving and weekend trips.
