No-touch and light-touch designs are the holy grail for bike racks, and today there are more options to choose from than ever before. Recently a few brands have been accused of appropriating the minimalist design of one of the first no-touch racks on the market, but Yakima has found their own way to scratch-free frames with the refined HoldUp Evo.
- 2 trays standard. Can purchase 2-tray add on for $399.
- Hitch-mounted rack with models for either 1.25- or 2-inch receivers.
- Built-in locks for securing the rack to the car, and bikes to the rack
- Weight limit: 50lbs. per bike Designed to fit most bikes, from kids’ bikes to fat bikes
- $549 MSRP
Installation
The Yakima HoldUp Evo rack requires a good bit of assembly out of the box, but the instructions are easy to follow and based on my experience, everything goes together smoothly and logically. It’s best to assemble the rack on your vehicle as instructed, using the hitch mount to hold everything in place.
