Heritage & History
1UP USA was founded in Dickinson, Wisconsin with a clear mission: build a bike rack that actually worked — one that would hold bicycles rattle-free at highway speeds without complicated straps, cradles, or padding. The founders, avid cyclists themselves, were frustrated by the limitations of existing racks and designed the 1UP from the ground up using aerospace-grade aluminum extrusions and a strikingly simple clamping mechanism.
The design eliminated the foam cradles, rubber straps, and buckle systems that plagued competing racks, replacing them with rigid clamping arms that grip bicycle frames directly and prevent movement entirely. The result was a rack that cyclists quickly recognized as the most secure and damage-free option available. Word spread through the cycling community organically, and 1UP USA built its reputation without the retail distribution that larger competitors relied on.
Made in Dickinson, Wisconsin
Every 1UP USA rack is manufactured in Dickinson, Wisconsin using 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum. The Wisconsin manufacturing facility machines, welds, and assembles each rack from raw aluminum extrusions — a process that ensures the dimensional consistency and weld quality that the rack's rattle-free performance depends on. The hitch receivers, clamping arms, and tray systems are all machined to tolerances that imported racks rarely achieve.
The Super Duty Double is the company's flagship product: a two-bike rack that holds bicycles by the frame crossbar with a clamping force that eliminates the micro-vibrations that cause paint damage and wear on competitors' cradle-style racks. The Quick Spin folding mechanism allows the loaded rack to swing away from the vehicle's rear without unloading bikes, a feature that drivers of SUVs and hatchbacks find essential for hatch access. Made entirely in Wisconsin, 1UP racks carry a lifetime warranty.
