New & Redesigned for 2026! A natural evolution of one of the best & most reliable 2-Bike hitch racks on the market. Easy to install on the car, fast & easy to load/unload bikes, and takes a huge range of bikes including kids & E-Bikes.

The HoldUp has long been a trusted favourite for riders who want a reliable, easy-to-use bike rack without the fuss. As bikes evolve, so does the HoldUp.

The latest model builds on everything riders know and love, with thoughtful updates to accommodate modern bike designs, including increased weight capacity, longer wheelbases and a slightly lighter rack.
