The 1up USA Super Duty Double Bike Rack: long term. Is it really the best?
• The 1up USA Super Duty...
Whats that? You spent all your cash on your new bike and gear and forgot to budget an extra 400, 500, 600.... 1,200$ for the rack to haul it around?? You're not alone. I worked around it for a long time but it was finally time to bite the bullet. I winced at the bill but now the shock has worn off and I can appreciate that this thing is a work of art.

Thanks for the review! That being said, I literally just went through this process my self. I waited years until a week ago when I decided it was time to buck up and get the 1 Up since my kids are getting bigger. I hope it works out and is as good as everyone has said!
Thank you for the video, very helpful. I am buying my Wife and I a couple of very expensive E Bikes next weekend. I was contemplating on buying the Chinese brand name racks and stumbled on 1up. Expensive, made in the USA makes it worth every penny, I will be ordering today.
Thanks again for the funny and informative vid. I will make sure to let 1up know you're the reason I pulled the trigger!
Just got this rack myself. Love it, but do have the similar grips. Nice vid.
Have the same rack and hated spending the money but love the rack it’s great. Sidenote they sell keyed alike locks that go through your wheels and the ratcheting arms
i enjoyed the MK stance/gear up sequence
Best part of the video IMO 😂
I've got the Super Duty Double to carry two 20 inch ebikes (60 lbs each) on the back of a Sprinter RV. I will have to modify the Rear Fenders to accommodate Wheel Clamping System. Additionally, I have the 1UP RacAttack Swing Arm and their Add-On Cargo Accessory. Obviously, all this is costly, but IMO it the best and will when you consider, there is no other Bike Rack available that can do what the above Set-Up can. This is a great feature for a RV Van,
Had my Super Duty 1UP since Nov. 52lb Giant Trance e mtn bike with 2.3 tires is fine. Being a surfer/windsurfer I'm paranoid about dumping a bike at 80mph, so I use it on local runs. It's a tad wobbly, so I use windsurfing straps on the top tube, through the 1Up 'bar' down below. Then backcountry ski straps on each tire. Wondering if anyone has tips /tricks to end ALL wobble. It's a safety issue for me, if the rack parts fail, I might get a heads up before seeing NO bike back there! That and the lock tumbler keys are so generic, lose 'em like I did and 1UP can dupe 'em, so good luck finding a locksmith to pick that lock. Great real world video, will check out your others.
Wheel locks are available. Not integrated, but I actually prefer them to integrated. Plan ahead when you buy your locks. You can get them keyed alike, but only if you purchase them all at the same time. I recommend you buy your hitch lock & wheel locks at the same time, plus a couple extra cylinders for future expansion (for instance, if you start out with a single or double rack, but expect to buy rack extensions for additional bikes). You can always buy extra lock-skewers later, but you can't get cylinders or keys that are keyed the same as your previous. It's a security feature - nobody can get a copy of your key, but neither can you.
I’ve done exactly this since making this video. Also purchased their hitch extender so it fits on my jeep better. Another 170$ later… 🤣
I have the same Jeep Wrangler set up you do and used a 7 inch hitch extender I got off Amazon to bring the rack out far enough that I can flip it vertically when not in use. A very short extender is all you need. The rack raised up vertically takes up less space than when raised to a 45 degree angle. Wobble in the hitch extender is eliminated by using an inexpensive hitch tightener which is also available on Amazon. The one I used was made by “Funmit” but I’m sure any will work.
Yo thanks for the tip! I’ve actually been considering a setup like you described for a bit so it’s nice to hear that it’s working for you!
I grabbed a super duty. I really didn't want to spend this much but it the end it was worth it. 1Up racks remind me of Rouge Fitness equipment. Stuff is expensive but its built like a tank.
I see the price of a high quality hitch rack as a good risk/reward benefit. Example 1, my friend drove us to the trail and her rack was the type that held the top tube... It scratched my high dollar frame. Example 2, my first rack was $50 and the metal hooks clipped to the trunk with straps. It fell off in a gas station parking lot when I rolled over a speed bump with two bikes attached. Luckily it wasn't on the freeway and my bikes survived with only minor damage. If you're carrying $30k worth of bikes, spend the $750 for a quality rack that properly holds and protects your bike.
This is sound logic
I watched this video to see how other people use the 1UP rack I just bought, but I'm leaving a thumbs up for what appears to be all the Tenba Air Cases in the van. :)

I’m sensing the presence of another photography professional...
@@ShreddingSpree Yeah, something like that. I don't actually use the gear, I just make the cases.
@@peterwaisnor2241 well thanks for helping keep my strobes protected against the rigors of TSA
Great video. Just a heads up. 1UP now makes an extender that uses their anti-wobble system. So you can extend it out past the spare tire if your kids get bigger bikes.
Thanks Donald! Already got it and in use! 🤘🏻
Best to add a 7" hitch extender to put the rack further back from the rear of the vehicle, a common problem with Jeeps with the spare tire mounted on the outside rear of the vehicle. Basic rack is OK but plan on adding their wheel stop and tire saver and forget about the 1up ramp and buy one for motorcycles and you will need to make your own license plate mount as only the Yakima and Thule racks provide a viable solution (1up works only in the down position and only if not using their ramp.
Yeah I added the hitch extender. The rack is a bit more wobbly than I’d like now but it’s a good solution.
I like the diy lol..I'm going through same issue. 1up is back ordered until 3031 i think..?
I've been spending money on nice racks my whole life lol. I just bought the one up super duty double and am waiting for it to ship. I'll be installing it on the rear of my RV mostly. To me its a no brainer, I have thousands of dollars in bikes so to put them on a cheap Chinese made POS is not an option. Made in America, all aluminum, take my money! I will say you can put an extender on your receiver and they make a clamp on device that stabilizes it with a U-bolt and metal plate, then install the 1 up into the extended receiver.
I have since started using the extender. It’s good. Been intending on posting an update video about stuff like this
Great Jeep license plate!
Love my super duty rack. Ebike approved.
A hitch receiver extender might solve a couple of the problems you pointed out.
The prices are indeed stomach churning, but no one in my family enjoyed the old way and I’m likening it to a quality tool; built to last and hold value.
I hear that! Unfortunately it already sticks out so far off the back that I don’t really want it to come out any further. Also I feel like it’ll become more wobbly if I add an extender. I’ve got it worked out pretty well now. I might just end up removing the basket from the tire carrier on the Jeep since I’ve just been leaving the rack on the back all the time.
@@ShreddingSpree There are hitch extenders with wobble-stop accessories, 1UP sells one and they're also like $30 on amazon.
@@maconbake yeah I’ve since got the 1up one.
great review man! question... any thoughts on black vs. silver? do you wish you had black? thanks!
I preferred silver because I think it’ll show less scratches and wear. Haven’t regretted for a second
Rigd makes a wobnot hitch extension to clear your tire and rack so you can put any bike in first tray.
I actually recently bought the 1up hitch extender which has a bolt tensioner (as many others do) to minimize wobble. It works fine but definitely wobbles more
I just ordered the super duty single... i have a wrangler jk ... but I'm just thinking about getting the 7 inch extender they have on the site for the 2 inch hitch. It comes with the anti-wobble lock... should be snug enough to make the wheel clearance???
Yes. I’m running the extender on my TJ now and it clears the spare. There’s a bit more wobble than there used to be but it doesn’t bother me. I slid some thick washers inside my receiver between the extender and receiver to minimize the up/down play it had.
if you need it on the jeep get a hitch extension, it will solve both of the issues
I just used my new super duty 2" hitch rack. IT REALLY NEEDS A BETTER WAY TO UNLOCK AND SWIVEL. 1up wants you to spend $90 more, on top of the $665-$715, for their extremely poor implementation of a latch and positioning thereof, that allows swinging rack up and down!
Releasing that latch without the handle extension with bikes loading is a pain huh.
For everyday / every week use, I understand why someone would dish out for one of these. But for others, who use one less frequently, I went with an overseas unit, made by Rola. It also has a second use: curls. Do you even lift, bro?
Pfft, brah, 12oz curls every. day.
I hear that though. Why buy the top end when you aren’t planning to use it all the time? Or let it live on the back of your vehicle. Especially when you’re looking for the bicep gains
@@ShreddingSpree 12 oz ?!?! Step up your game: 40's!
SO FUCKING TRUE (except for the divorce part!) used to be able to put my MTB inside my Scion XB but bought a Subaru and waiting on the 1 UP double duty bike rack
Now you need to buy the most expensive Lycra bike shorts and you have become the perfect consumer for the bike industry. What's next Titanium handle bar caps? : )
Sir, are you implying that I’m a sucker?? Haha. Hey I feel like working around the bike rack purchase for about 8 years is showing some pretty good restraint! And I always bought all my bikes used! (Except for my hardtail)
Are you still liking this rack? Being that it's made in WI, it might finally be time to retire my Saris Bones rack :) Thanks for sharing, and If you have time check us out!
This rack is the shit. Been using it consistently and I can’t imagine another rack being any better. I just subbed your channel, I’ll check it out soon.🤘🏻
What kind of bike is the teal kids bike?
Commencal meta ht 20”
Meh I’ll stick to my TIG welded 7075 aluminum rack that I made , did steal a couple ideas from 1UP but mostly improved on their shortcomings and added my own twists. All in , material and stainless hardware I’m at $280 CAD including very nice ABUS locks. I did have most of the aluminum C channel already and box tubing, otherwise it would have been around $450-$500 CAD
Will 4-5" fat tires fit in it ?
I added a fat-tire kit to mine. New ones might ship with the fat-tire mod, I'm not sure. It didn't exist when I bought my rack & I didn't get a fat bike until several years later.
1UP makes a hitch extender that has an anti-wobble pin. You can also just go with an aftermarket hitch extender with an anti-wobble bracket would work too,
Yeah I’m probably gonna go this way in the near future. It’s just gonna stick way off the back of the jeep now. 🤷🏼♂️
@@ShreddingSpree The 1UP hitch extender has a hole at 4" and 7" so you can get it closer to the tire/Jeep.
Did you get the reverse brackets?
I don’t know what that is so probably not. Do you have a link so I can see what you’re talking about?
@@ShreddingSpree we have a large Wrangler with 37s and a 37 inch spare. We were advised to buy the hitch extender or order our rack with reverse side brackets... It shows up Saturday, we'll see how it goes 😂 Maiden Voyage to Big Bear on Sunday
Is it legal to not use a bike rack?
Sure it is. As long as your stuff isn’t falling off on the Highway.
If got money to keep the gas tank full in a Jeep, you’ve got plenty of money for a 1Up.
This is Literally the most hard hitting CZcams comment I’ve ever gotten. I think that thing burns fuel while it’s turned off. 😂
🤣-5 plus years what a councidence
Spell steel and steal and what do they mean?
Terry, thank you so much for pointing out such an egregious grammar mistake in the video. Please spend the rest of your day feeling accomplished and proud. 👍🏼
@@ShreddingSpree thanks.... spelling is sort of important...
Dude, it took you 4min of the 8min review to finally get to the point
True
3:35 in and we got your life story, but not a single bit of info about the bike rack in the title?!? I'm out
Thanks for sticking around for 3:35!
@@ShreddingSpree point being... get to the point. Or change the title
@@MikeJordanUnCamplicated I heard you loud and clear Mike. I didn’t care for your bad vibes so I was being sarcastic by thanking you for sticking around.
@@ShreddingSpree and... I was giving you some constructive criticism. Not "bad vibes". Made it through 1/3 of the video, and not a shred ;) of content related to the title?!? Just food for thought.
