The Yakima HoldUp 4-Bike Rack # Y02443-2 weighs 98 lbs as a 4-bike rack and 49 lbs as a 2-bike rack. Bike racks that hold four bikes need to be sturdy so they are made from steel, but there is a lightweight 4-bike option with the Saris Freedom # SA4414B, which is just 53 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of this product for you to take a look at.
