Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Great, fast service. Once I placed my order, I had the bike rack 3 days later. From Missouri to South Florida, Awesome !!!
Been a Yakima user for some time. Last bike rack was the Doubledown 4. Great rack but with the newer bike frames having top bars in different shapes and sizes, putting bikes on the Doubledown was a challenge. Had to go to a platform rack. Holdup was the fit. Carries 2 kids bikes without issues as well as my 29” and 27.5”. It is big and heavy but is solid and stable. Just makes it so much easier to carry 4 bikes. Just did a 500 mile round trip drive with them and no issues. Built in security cables is a nice feature. I did change out the two SKS cores to match up with the others. I’ll need to replace the stabilizer pin’s holder. It’s make out of plastic and broke right when I pulled out the pin so the cable is just hanging now. If I had to do it again, I’d buy it again. etrailer has quick shipping and great customer service.

Yakima HangOver Bike Rack for 6 Mountain Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
The Yakima Hangover 6 made it about 2 months before a rubber strap broke that holds the bike from flying off the rack. I discovered the tear after a 250 mile trip and was thankful I didn't lose a bike. I inspected the other 5 and contacted Yakima. The wait time for my warranty issue to be addressed was ridiculous. I ordered a new strap from etrailer as my hopes for Yakima to come through were not high. 6 months later, Yakima responded to my claim and did sent 6 complete strap assemblies. However, the assembly included bolts that were too small? So to utilize a new rubber strap, I have to disassemble both assemblies and reassemble. The rack does the job. I use a device to stop it from swaying on the hitch as much as it does. There are better designs out there and sort of wish I spent some more money for a better design.
I would strongly recommend NOT dealing with this company. My bike rack arrived very late and after delivery I realized it was not compatible with my bikes. I was looking for a six bike rack that could hold my family's bikes (2 adult + 4 small children's bikes) and this rack is very specific for ADULT MOUNTAIN BIKES ONLY. I did not realize this and called the customer service to initiate a return after having a hitch put onto my car. I was told I could not return. I was out over $1k and ended up giving this rack away on my local free cycle as it was NO value to me and took up space in my garage. I am not a bike expert just a mom with 4 small kiddos looking for ways to enable them to play outdoors, I would have appreciated a better product explanation up front so I understood this would not be a fit for my needs. I would have benefitted from better customer service. Suggest passing on this product/company.
What our customers are saying:
"Everyone that bought before me was right! I got my rack in time for my next days off and putting it together was fast too. And I'm a grandma!! Thank you for being fast and honest! You beat anyone in my town hands down!"
