Yakima HoldUp Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2014 Toyota RAV4- Video

Today on our 2014 Toyota RAV4 we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Hold Up 2 Bike Rack, part number Y02443. This is for 2" hitches only, can carry up to two bikes, and one of the most prominent features about this bike rack is the fact that it can tilt away from the vehicle with the bikes still attached. To do that, holding onto the bike as you do this, you come to the front to this red handle. You pull it out like so, let it tilt forward. Now unfortunately due to how close the bike rack is to the vehicle you will make contact with the handle bars, although you have some space to get what you need with it open this much. To put it back in its original position we'll just lift up again on our bike rack, you hear that click and it's locked back into place. How the bike actually is gripped into the bike rack, we're going to have two points of contact. more
