Why we tested the Velo Wall 2D
Apartment storage is the toughest constraint in cycling, and a wall rack that folds flat when empty is rare. We tested the 2D across a road bike, a gravel bike, and a commuter e-bike.
What we liked
The fold flat design is the headline feature and it actually works. When the rack is empty, the cradles tuck against the wall and the entire unit projects only two inches. It disappears into a hallway in a way a Steadyrack cannot.
What could be better
Horizontal storage uses more floor footprint than vertical. If you have two or more bikes and limited wall length, a vertical pivot rack will fit more bikes per linear foot.
Value
At $99 the Feedback Sports Velo Wall 2D Rack is the right Sports & Outdoors in 2026.
Feedback Sports Velo Wall 2D Rack vs. the competition
| Product | Our rating | Price | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steadyrack Classic | - | - | Alternative - Vertical pivot stores more bikes per wall but holds the wheel not the frame. |
| Delta Cycle Leonardo Da Vinci Single | - | - | Alternative - Cheaper but plastic cradles flex and do not fold as cleanly. |
| Topeak Swing Up DX | - | - | Skip - Similar concept but the swing mechanism is overkill for most apartments. |
| Feedback Sports Velo Cache 2D Floor Stand | - | - | Upgrade - Free standing version for renters who cannot drill walls, costs more. |

Should you buy the Feedback Sports Velo Wall 2D Rack?
The Feedback Sports Velo Wall 2D is the horizontal wall mount that finally solved storage in our narrow apartment hallway. The cradles fold flat when empty so the rack disappears into the wall, and the rubberized arms grip any frame shape without scratching paint. Capacity is 50 pounds, which covers everything from a 16 pound road bike to a 38 pound e-bike with battery removed. Installation into a single stud took 12 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Will this work with a step-through commuter frame?+
Not reliably. The horizontal cradle expects a top tube. Step-through and extreme sloping frames need a vertical rack like the Steadyrack Classic.
Can I mount it on brick?+
Yes with appropriate masonry anchors, which are not included. The supplied lag bolts assume a wood stud.
Does it hold an e-bike?+
Yes up to 50 pounds. We hung a 44 pound commuter e-bike with the battery removed and it sat steady.
