Carrier Weight Difference Of Yakima HoldUp 2 And Saris Freedom 4
Question:
I’m debating between the Saris Freedom 4 2” rack and the Yakima HoldUp. My ONLY hesitation on the Saris is that it doesn’t into a 2 bike rack like the Yakima. However, it’s a weight issue. I thought the Yakima HoldUp, in 2 bike configuration would be lighter than the Saris, but am not sure. So, the question is, what is the weight of the Saris Freedom 4 2” hitch rack and what is the weight of the Yakima HoldUp 2” hitch rack, but just the first part 2 bike configuration? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Yakima HoldUp 2 BIke Rack Part # Y02443 states that the carriers weight is 49 pounds.
The Saris Freedom 4 Bike Platform Rack for 2" Hitches Part # SA4414B shows a carrier weight of 53 pounds.
With that being said, if you are mainly looking for the use of a 4 bike rack, the Yakima HoldUp 4 Part # Y02443-2 has a carrier weight of 104 pounds.
