- I got a new car a few months back, and I wanted to also get a new hitch bike rack. 1UP was the rack of choice for me. In this video I install the rack and give a review comparing it to me last trunk rack.

I was concerned there for a minute...like SLAM, there goes the other hand.
I would have clickbaited that!
THATS A GREAT INFO ON THE RACK BRO ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE CAR SENSORS THANK YOU .JUST BOUGHT THE THULE NOT USED YET BUT THINKING OF SPENDING THE EXTRA DOUGH ON THE 1 UP VERY STRONGLY
No problem 👍 The 1UP is worth the money, but the Thule is nice too!
Just ordered the same rack except for a single one in black. Can’t wait to get it! Been waiting a week already. How long did it take to get yours?
It took a minute, but that was pre-pandemic. I have the 3rd rack on mine now, and I got my girlfriend the same 2 tray rack I have.
Great video!! Thank you for creating. Mine arrived today. Got the black too
So easy to install.
Welcome to the 1up club. MrTonka & BKXC's reviews sealed it for me this past fall, well worth the money.
Marc Cox for the price of my first bike, I’m safely transporting a way more expensive bike!
Great vid. I’ve had my black 1up rack sitting under my bed for almost a year. Finally got a hitch installed on my car today. Can’t wait to start using the rack! Planning to order one of the add-on racks soon.
Joe Seven same. I need the add-on
I’m a yuge fan of my 1up rack. Totally worth the few extra dollarie doos. If you’re a solo rider like me you can save a little cash by just getting the single rack which can be expanded to two later. 🤑
Jordan Byron yeah I thought about it, but my little dude is getting into it so it made sense to pony up now.
YEA THAT A GREAT ADD ON FEATURE
Nice! I like this format!
Downhill Dewey thanks Derek!
Love mine. So solid.
Alden Wilkins it’s so sturdy. Worth the money for the piece of mind.
I want one but my car does not have a hitch
My hitch was like 200 or 300 installed. Well worth it
Thanks for the great video!!! Just ordered mine today!😄
It's so great! I just got back from Arkansas where we had 2 extension racks on a 2" hitch and it was fine.
My first and possibly last bike rack I'll ever own. I dig my 1up dual tray. Put mine on basically the same exact car. 2018 crosstrek, sunshine orange
minutes ago edited nice!
I ordered the single today
Thomas Mooney awesome! You’ll love it!
Thanks, I've had my eye on 1Up for that past month or so. Ironically you posted a vid so i had to respond...my first. Thanks for your vids, so cool and fun to watch. Maybe i'll see you on the trail. Cheers.
Thomas Mooney thanks! Lmk what you think about the rack
I hate my 1UP. Just ditched it for a Thule e-bike rack.
I still love mine 🤷🏽♂️
I love my 1up! I started with a single tray and then bought an add-on. My original tray is about 5 years old and still works as new (even after being rear ended twice). I also have a Subaru and the beeping is annoying but I end up taking my rack off often and just throwing it in the garage when I'm not riding.
Bill T sounds like a lot of work 😂
I love the reviews and how to’s even if I already know about the product or task. (I’m odd that way) I really would like to see more of them. Regardless of the content keep it up. I respect and support what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
John Armstrong thanks! I’ll do my best
I think that Subaru makes your bike and overall riding better. Oh and....more reviews please.
Misfit Outdoors Subaru superfan here so I believe it! I’d like to do more reviews for sure.
Nice tool wall bro
Thanks!
I have this same exact rack and you wouldnt believe how long it took me to locate that release latch at 3:32 to put it up into the stow position haha!! Awesome rack though and I would recommend it, especially if you have a longer wheelbase bike that just doesnt fit well on other racks.
Agree. Really great rack!
I've got the same one, 2"! I use a little furniture dolly to move it from the back to the car to the storage spot or risk scraping it against either car. :o
In reference to your backup sensors going off. My Jeep allows me to turn them off, for situations just like this. Not sure if Subaru does, but worth looking into.
It doesn't. I tried 😔
My 2017 outback does
Once the KUAT fails... the 1UP will be purchased. Dug the review man! Rack needs some 'Stay Shreddy' stickers.
Singletracks & Whiskey nice
I've been using a 1up rack for a few years now. It's great - holds everything from my enduro bike to my triathlon bike without any issue. I've had more people stop me to ask about my bike rack than about any of my bikes. I had to turn off the beeping on the backup cam, just to maintain what little sanity I have left. You also might want to lock the rack to the car if you plan on leaving it on all the time.
Sadly, I can't turn off the beeping, only the rear automatic braking.
subie gang 👌
Super roo!
Love my 1up, but Kuat appears to be releasing a similar tray mount system soon that looks pretty sweet
boostenmkiv interesting...
Does it lock the bikes in tight even with no center bar or wheel straps,? Also with no pin locking into the hitch has that bolt ever loosened up? Just a little concerned on a long trip if it did could the whole bugger just fall out on the road?
Just check it periodically. I've never had it get that loose. And I trust the bikes on there 100%.
We have the same set up and Subaru crosstrek except mine is quartz blue pearl.
Paolo714 nice! Love my car
*insert "nice rack" comment here*
I went from the Saris Bones to the 1up as well. And use a super heavy duty chain and lock to secure it to the car, bc I'd be pissed if someone stole it. Last rack purchase ever.
You sir, are hilarious. We share an anger toward cardboard.
Unboxing angers me 😂
Work with fender bike?
I have a fender on my front, and it's fine. I guess it depends on the wheelbase. The longer the bike, the less vertical the rails.
You should be able to turn off your back up sensor. Check your car’s owners manual.
Mister OTB I can’t. I have to disable it every time I throw it in reverse
Re: the part about your Saris rack burning out the rear windshield wiper motor - ouch! I have a 2-bike Saris rack currently, and I've definitely accidentally triggered the rear wiper a few times and had it get stuck (though, luckily it didn't burn anything out).
Love my 1UP rack. So well made. My friend has had the unfortunate luck of being rear ended twice with his and it’s barely been scratched. Did I mention how jealous I am of your Subie?
Twitchy Nick that’s wild. I guess they’re really durable. Superoo for life!
Is there any space/void you can hide an Apple Air Tag in for theft prevention/recovery?
In the bike rack? I haven't really tried, but probably.
Does it set of the blind spot detection when the bike is loaded on the rack only?
My car "learned". With the bike off, it now just gives me a warning that it's basically not going to slam on my brakes, but it knows that there's something additional back there.
Really well done Eric. Wow! A Subaru in Texas! That's like seeing a republican in Oregon! Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Mountain Bike Advice haha we’ve had only Subaru’s for 8 years. Good thing we go to Colorado a lot
Can you open the Crosstrek hatch without tilting the rack backward while it's folded up? Looking for that feature and so far can only confirm it in a Küat model. Thanks for the video!
Depends on how far you have it positioned from your bumper. Pushed the whole way in, I don't think you can. I only know that I don't like riding with it up, because it obscures my plate and I've been pulled over for that. I know there's a plate attachment for the rack, but haven't purchased it yet.
I am currently using a trunk rack with my Fiesta hatchback. I hate having the weight of three bikes on my trunk and rear window. I am dying for another option, but I have no hitch.
They have a 1.25" diameter hitch version, and you should be able to install a hitch mount to your frame for < $150.
eTrailer has a good bolt-on hitch option for ~$120. With strap style racks going for ~$100 - $200 it's not too bad. I just got a new bike so adding these costs on top of what I've already spent this season is not going to fly with the wife.
Looks easier and more secure to attach the bike than my Kuat NV 2.0. Only things I am not see compared to my Kuat is a locking hitch pin and built in bike locks. Does the rack lock on the car, is there a hitch pin, and are there built in locks for the bikes?
MTB Daddy no locking pin or built in lock so I bought a heavy duty 6ft chain lock.
I had to sell a bike to afford this rack , solid sturdy
Abraham Pacana worth it though?
Rack looks awesome, wonder if they have a 4 bike
They do have a 4 bike option, it's basically the two bike rack with a two bike extension. The four bike option does require the full size hitch as the smaller hitch found on a lot of cars can't take the weight.
Mike Simms ahh thanks, yea we have a 4Runner and a Avalanche so 2”receivers
Yep, you'd basically get the rack I have and then add on two tray extensions.
That rack looks like it could hold 2 dirt bikes. Solid👊🏼
JC TRAILS not sure about that. I think it’s rated for 200 lbs or so for the 2” receiver.
Beefy! Thanks for the review.
I too drive a Crosstrek. Do you think the single bike carrier would be low enough to not block out the camera? I realize my car would probably still beep at me, but curious if I’d be able to at least see through the camera. Thanks!
Probably any of them will trigger ABS.
How has the black anodized color held up overtime? Debating getting the silver only because others have mentioned fading with the black. Thanks!!
Mine's still solid. No wearing or rubbing.
I'm really interested in this rack for my 2020 Crosstrek and I was so glad to see a video with the rack being used on a Crosstrek. One question I'd love to know is if your car is equipped with the factory hitch. I ordered my Crosstrek with the factory hitch and I really need to know if there will be enough clearance between the rack and the bumper. If you don't have the factory hitch, do you know if the factory hitch will be mounted in the same position (in line with the bumper) as yours? Thanks so much for posting this helpful video.
No. I got an aftermarket Curdt hitch. 2”.
@@nofrontbrakes Okay, thanks. I've seen some pictures of the stock hitch and it looks to be flush with the back bumper so I think the 1UP will clear.
I love my 1Up what were you using before? Also this rain needs to piss off already haven't rode in weeks.
Nevermind you answer it at the end of the vid lol ...you definitely got your money out of that thing.
A Saris 3-bike trunk rack.
Is there a hitch pin hole to secure it? Or just the tightening bolt in the middle that you showed?
The Crashing Dad just the tightening bolt but it’s literally the largest Allen key I’ve ever used.
@@nofrontbrakes interesting 🤔 I would be nervous about it and check tightness every week or so....
The Crashing Dad good idea 🧐
@The Crashing Dad I have the regular version. On my old car I did notice it come loose once. So far on this one it has not, but one thing that helps is on this one I can push it all the way into the receiver. It's so easy to take off and throw in the trunk, too, so if I know I won't be riding for several days, I'll do that.
I put a very skinny hitch pin through the receiver and one up rack. When I tighten the Allan I wiggle the rack back and forth, doing so you will get another turn to turn and a half, now it’s tight.
Thanks for the video!! Super useful seeing this mounted to a Crosstrek! Which brand hitch receiver did you go with? I drive a 2014 Impreza NA, and I want to mount a 2" receiver to it, but not sure if anyone makes one for my car.
Chris Trinh ah that’s part of the reason I didn’t put one on my old car... my 2010 Impreza only to 1.25” mounted hitch.
How do you like that ecohitch? Any issue with security, and does it seem like it would have an issue holding 3 bikes on a 1up on the crosstrek?
Derek Ackerman so far, so good! I don’t worry about it.
Is anyone using the quick rack single? Curious as to how much lighter it is than the other two versions.
Does the rack tilt down so you can open the rear hatch without removing the bike?
Chris CXK no, but they make a swing arm add-on which looks slick
Wrong, it does tilt down. I have the Super duty 2 rack system.
Weird question but where is the serial number located?? I can't find it
No idea. Have you contacted 1UP?
Good video - I like the format, too. I have the super duty and purchased two super duty add-ons so I can carry 4. Got the SD's so I can carry my eBikes with batterys attached and stay within the weight limit! I liked the fact that it's well made and you can get parts for it if it breaks. The only dislike is unlatching the bar so I can swivel it up/down (especially with it set-up for 3 or 4 bikes).
There is a locking pin you can purchase for it that covers up the Hex bolt.
Also you can purchase locking pins for the bike holder that locks through the wheels.
I personally use a 10ft coated cable and lock that I run through the frame, wheels, and hitch (when i feel it's necessary to lock this up).
William Newton I do the same thing! I still usually try to keep the rack and bikes in sight if possible.
Also os this a 2 inch receiver?
Alvin Enobio you know it
Does this rack fold out when loaded to allow you access to open your rear hatch? I have a 2019 Crosstrek
My rear hatch isn't impeded by the rack. The only time it stops me from opening the hatch is when the rack is folded up against the back, but that's not often because I will get pulled over if the rack obstructs my license plate.
Is this the heavy duty one?
Alvin Enobio yessir
I dont know if you know it or not but you right hand is constantly giving the camera the middle finger.
Raynell Holmes 😂 actually that’s my pointer finger
What version of the rack did you get? Is that the HD or Super Duty?
I believe it's the super duty.
