About this product
The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack (2-inch receiver) is a sturdy two-bike hitch-mounted carrier designed for riders who need reliable, versatile transport. Its StrongArm system secures bikes by the wheels rather than the frame, making it compatible with disc-equipped, full-suspension, and carbon bikes, and accommodating wheel sizes from 20 to 29 inches. The rack handles a combined load of up to 120 pounds and includes side-to-side adjustment so both bikes can be spaced out without contact. A tilt-down function allows easy access to the vehicle's rear hatch without removing the rack. SKS locks are included, securing both the rack to the hitch and the bikes to the rack. For those needing extra capacity, the HoldUp is compatible with the Yakima HoldUp +2 add-on (sold separately). The rack comes in a Black/Red finish, fits standard 2-inch receiver hitches, and is backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. Part number 8002443.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Yakima HoldUp 2in for its wheel-mount design that protects frames and carbon tubes from contact, its solid stability on a 2-inch hitch with virtually no sway, and its ease of loading bikes. The tilt-down feature for rear vehicle access and the integrated cable locks are also frequently highlighted as convenient. The most common complaints center on the rack's considerable weight making it cumbersome to remove and reinstall, a tilt mechanism that is awkward and hard to operate under load, and limited tire-width compatibility that can be a tight fit for wider 29er tires. Some users also note that the included hitch bolt wrench is poorly designed, and that the safety pin attachment feels flimsy. At its price point, it is generally seen as a solid value, though some reviewers suggest competitors offer more refinement for a modest price difference.
