How Much Movement Will Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Rack Have During Travel

Question:

Can you please tell me how much does the Yakima HoldUp wobble up and down and side to side?. Before I purchase something at this price point I want to make sure it will be very, very stable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

The Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Platform Rack # Y02443-2 referenced in your question is a really nice carrier that can support 4 bikes of up to 50 pounds each. I have attached a test course video on this bike rack that you can take a look at. As you can see in the video, even with 4 bikes loaded, the carrier experiences very little movement when going over speed bumps and making turns.

This rack does have a really stable connection at the hitch during travel, as it includes a couple components designed specifically for this purpose. The anti-rattle hitch lock not only secures the carrier to your vehicle to help deter theft, but the threaded pin also drastically reduces movement inside the hitch receiver.
