The Yakima HoldUp EVO 1.25 Inch is a hitch mounted bike rack designed to carry up to two bikes. The Yakima Hold Up EVO is a redesign on Yakima's original HoldUp with a few key improvements: easy-access tilt mechanism, Yakima SpeedKnob for tool-free installation and Fat Bike compatibility.
The HoldUp EVO 1.25 inch is fully locking with cable locks built into the ratcheting arms and the locking SpeedKnob at the base. Both of cable locks and SpeedKnob utilize Yakima's SKS (Same key system) which means if you already have Yakima products the HoldUp EVO can be keyed alike your existing gear.
Tool-free installation
The HoldUP EVO utilizes Yakima's tool-free locking SpeedKnob which makes installation and removal of the rack quick and easy. The SpeedKnob works by tightening up a wedge mechanism inside the hitch receiver which takes away the up and down movement along with the side to side movement inside the hitch. The SpeedKnob can then be locked preventing someone from being able to loosen off your rack and remove it from your hitch.
Easy-access tilt down feature
On the HoldUp EVO Yakima has moved the tilt down mechanism to the front of the rack. This makes it much easier to fold your rack down and access the hatch of your vehicle without needing to remove your bikes.
Fat bike compatible
The HoldUp EVO was designed to carry the widest range of bikes possible, from Fat bikes with 5 inch tires to kids bikes and everything in between. This was done so you don't need one bike rack for road bike and a different bike rack for your fat bikes, instead you have one rack that carries all your bikes regardless of what you feel like riding that day.
