New this year, the Holdup hitch-mount rack cradles any bike wheel size
Yakima’s 2013 update on the Holdup bike carrier continues to baby your bikes. New for 2013, you can fit almost any sized bike wheel into the tray—from 20-inch folding bikes to 29-inch fat tires. Once the bikes are in place, you can adjust their position next to each other so the handlebars don’t tangle. The beefed-up arm grabs and secures a bike by the wheel, not frame, so paint and carbon finishes stay unscratched.

The 2013 Yakima HoldUp’s arm pivot never touches your frame. New side-to-side adjustability lets you position bikes next to each other so handlebars don’t tangle.
Speaking of security, Yakima has integrated the included cable lock into the tubing of the rack. Need a coffee break en route? Pull the cable up from the rack and coil it around your bikes’ frames. The Holdup rack also locks to your 1.25-inch or 2-inch trailer hitch for added security.
