INTRODUCING THE FULLY REDESIGNED RECON RACK

At 1UP USA, we know you trust our racks to safely and securely transport your bikes on adventures far and wide. That’s why we’re proud to announce the all-new Recon Rack, completely reengineered from the hitch up to offer improved usability, easier maintenance, and unmatched performance for serious riders and weekend warriors alike.

This is more than an update. We fully redesigned the entire rack, built around the belief that the best gear should be built to last.

In a world of throwaway gear, the new Recon stands apart. We’ve eliminated welds entirely in favor of a fully bolt-together design. This means every part is serviceable, swappable, and repairable. No matter what happens out on the road or trail, your rack will be there to transport your bikes for many years to come.

This isn’t just a mechanical change — it’s a commitment to sustainability and longevity. We want you to ride more and waste less, and the new Recon makes that possible

Every ounce counts, especially when you're loading, unloading, or installing your rack. The redesigned Recon is now lighter than ever, thanks to a combined aluminum and steel construction. We retained the steel upright and cross bars for strength while swapping in aluminum baskets, lower wheel cradles, and side plates. The result is a rack that's easier to carry, easier to assemble, and easier to live with — without compromising durability or performance.

Your rack should stay put, no matter how bumpy the road gets. That’s why we’ve introduced a brand-new wedge-style hitch that delivers rock-solid stability. This anti-wobble system locks your Recon into place and keeps it there, mile after mile, without the sway or rattle common in other hitch racks.

More confidence. No wobble. 

Need to get into the back of your vehicle? Our new pivot system is designed for quick, easy access without sacrificing strength. A heavy-duty securing pin keeps the rack locked upright during travel. When it’s time to lower the rack, just remove the pin and lift the red lever to smoothly tilt the rack out of the way.

It’s a small detail, but one that makes a big difference when you’re in a rush or loaded down with gear.

We’ve redesigned our baskets to be lighter than ever. These baskets are built to handle a wide range of bikes, including standard gravel, MTB, and fat tires, without the need for adapters or extra baskets.

Less weight, easier setup, more compatibility. 

The new Recon is available in 4, 5, or 6-bike setups, giving you the flexibility to choose the configuration that fits your lifestyle. Whether you're hauling your family’s bikes for a weekend getaway or stacking up for shuttle runs, we’ve got you covered.

The newly added 4-bike option is perfect for riders who carry 3 or 4 bikes most often.

Every Recon Rack is proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in Wisconsin. We don’t outsource quality. By keeping production local, we ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship and support American manufacturing at every turn.

When you roll with 1UP USA, you're not just getting premium gear, you're supporting hard-working engineers, fabricators, and bike lovers in the heart of the Midwest.

From team adventures to shuttle loops to road trips with the family, the redesigned Recon Rack is ready to roll. Every detail has been refined for strength, serviceability, weight savings, and all-terrain capability.

Ready when you are. Wherever you’re headed.
