Summer and Kara from Yakima show us the new Yakima HoldUp and the optional HoldUp +2 (to carry 4 bikes total) that’s new and improved for 2013. The HoldUp is easy to install and loads in seconds. It folds down to load the bikes and has a sliding wheel tray that allows up to 4 inches of movement to reduce bike to bike interference. A new longer StrongArm ratcheting system also allows for compatibility with 20-29 inch wheels. Other features of the HoldUp bike rack include a wheel tray strap, integrated SKS cable lock system, a knob to tilt the rack down for rear vehicle access and the integrated bottle opener. The HoldUp hitch bike carrier is available in 2″ and 1.25″ sizes for $439 and additional $329 for the +2 extension.
