The HoldUp is one of the strongest, most versatile, and best designed bike racks available. It now also comes with side-to-side adjustability, meaning less bike-to-bike interference. Plus its StrongArm system allows for no frame contact when securing your bikes, making it a great choice for carbon frame bikes or anyone who has concerns about damage in transit. It's also quite a handsome bike carrier, with nice finishes and high-quality materials.
The HoldUp carries two bikes out of the box, and it can be extended to accommodate four bikes with the optional HoldUp +2.
Versatility is one of its defining features, it takes nearly all bikes with 20inch to 29inch wheels and almost any size or shape of frame, whether you have a bike with disc brakes, thru axles or full suspension bikes. However, please note that it will NOT accept bikes with tyres wider than 2.4inch in a 29inch spec bike, and 3inch maximum tyre width in a 27.5inch spec bike. If you have a 29in bike with wider tires, the Yakima HoldUp EVO would likely suit your needs.
It has moveable trays to adjust bike positions, and the StrongArm design also avoids any frame contact by securing just the front wheel. Maximum weight limit is 27.3kgs per bike, with a maximum wheelbase of 122cm. This impressive weight capacity also makes the HoldUp one of the few bicycle carriers more suited to carrying E-Bikes.
Another great feature is the ability to tilt the carrier while loaded, for more convenient rear access than some other bike carrier options available.
The HoldUp also folds flat against your vehicle when not in use so it's out of the way, plus it comes with integrated locks for both the carrier and bikes, which can be matched to other Yakima products for single key convenience. The cable locks for your bikes also retract neatly into the carrier after use, altogether this gives the HoldUp excellent security features. You can key alike your Yakima products by purchasing lock cores separately. If you have any further questions about key matching please contact us for more information.
It comes out of the box requiring very minimal assembly so you can be out on the trails even quicker, installation is a 25 minute job and all necessary tools are included. Please refer to the video and fitting instructions for further details.
This isn't the cheapest bike carrier around, but you really do get a true gem with the HoldUp, it's among the best bike carrier choices when you consider all of its features, its price, and quality, plus it's covered by Yakima's lifetime warranty.
This carrier suits 50mm (2 inch) receivers only, check to see if it will fit your vehicle using the Yakima Hitch Fitting Guide.
Please check your hitch rating and local state laws before using this carrier.
