Holdfast 2 Bike Platform

Short Product Summary

The Holdfast 2 Bike Platform is a tow ball mounted rack that carries two bikes side by side. Each bike sits in its own channel with a support arm braced against the frame, and the whole unit is built for straightforward, no-fuss transport, with a folding arm and a padlock system as standard.

Why This Product

Lifting a bike onto a hanging-style rack, or wrestling it into place while balancing the frame, gets old fast. This platform design gets around that: the bike sits low in its own channel and rolls into place rather than needing to be lifted overhead. The channels adjust to take a range of frame sizes and tyre widths, and the padlock system means you can leave the bikes on the rack at a fuel stop without worrying about them.

Key Features

• Carries 2 bikes side by side – each bike gets its own wheel channel rather than sharing a hanging arm
• 210mm bike spacing – keeps the bikes apart to help protect them from scratches and damage
• Adjustable wheel channels – take mountain bikes, road bikes and other frame types up to 3-inch tyres
• Tow ball mounted, gooseneck compatible – fits standard and gooseneck towbars
• Built-in rear lights and number plate holder – keeps the rear of the rack visible on the road
• Padlock system – lets you lock the bikes to the rack at a stop
• Folding support arm – collapses flat for compact storage when the bikes come off

Ideal For

• Cyclists who want a simple, dependable platform rack without paying for extra features they will not use.
• Riders with two bikes of different sizes since the wheel channels adjust to fit each one.
• Anyone who wants to lock their bikes at a stop because the padlock system secures them to the rack.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

Before you order, check the following:

• Check your towbar's rated towing weight against this rack's 40kg loaded weight, since the rack and two bikes need to stay within that limit.
• Measure your bikes' tyre width against the 3-inch (76mm) maximum before you order.
• It is tow ball mounted, so you will need a standard or gooseneck towbar fitted; it is not for vehicles without one.
