Holdfast 4 Bike Platform Sport

Short Product Summary

The Holdfast 4 Bike Platform Sport is a tow ball mounted platform rack that carries up to four bikes side by side, spaced 210mm apart to help keep handlebars and pedals clear of each other. It takes mountain bikes, road bikes and up to two E-Bikes, and a vice-style clamp on the tow ball stops it shifting about once the road turns rough.

Why This Product

Loading four bikes for a family trip usually means a mix of frame sizes, tyre widths and, increasingly, an E-Bike or two that weigh more than the rest. This platform gives each bike its own adjustable channel, so wider tyres and a longer E-Bike wheelbase fit alongside standard road and mountain bikes without crowding each other. The frame grips tighten by hand, so there is nothing to fetch from a toolbox once you are at the trailhead, and the whole rack folds down when the bikes come off.

Key Features

• Carries up to 4 bikes – spaces them 210mm apart to help protect handlebars and pedals
• Takes up to 2 E-Bikes – supports the longer wheelbase of an E-Bike alongside standard bikes
• Vice-style tow-ball clamp – stops the rack shifting about once the tar turns to gravel
• Hand-tightened frame grips – no tools needed to secure each bike at the trailhead
• Rear lights and plate holder built in – keeps the back of the rack visible on the road
• Pad-lock secures the rack – locks the whole unit to the vehicle, not just the bikes
• Folding support arm – collapses for compact storage once the bikes are off

Ideal For

• Families who want every bike on every trip since the platform takes up to four bikes at once.
• Riders adding an E-Bike to the mix because the rack takes up to two, with batteries removed for transport.
• Anyone tackling rough roads or gravel thanks to the vice-style clamp holding the rack steady.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

Before you order, check the following:

• Check your towbar's rated towing weight against the rack's 60kg total loaded weight, spread across the bikes.
• Measure your bikes' tyre width against the 76mm (3-inch) maximum, and take E-Bike batteries off before loading.
• It is tow ball mounted, so you will need a standard or gooseneck towbar; it is not for vehicles without one.

FAQ

Can I carry an E-Bike?
Yes, up to two E-Bikes, with the batteries taken off before transport.

How much weight can it carry?
Up to 60kg total across all the bikes; check this against your towbar's rated towing weight.

Does it need tools to load bikes?
No. The frame grips tighten by hand, so there is nothing to fetch from a toolbox.

Which way should I load the bikes?
Put the heaviest bike, usually an E-Bike with its battery removed, closest to the vehicle to keep the rack steadier on bumpy sections.
