Pros & Cons

Pros

I like being able to easily switch it out without having to do an upper body workout, lol, so this is perfect. The rack is terrific, easy to manipulate and hang. I'm pretty mechanically minded and everything seemed pretty intuitive.

The hold down straps are not velcro and seem well designed. Lock straps are easy to use and have great non slip grips. The straps are very long, so i recommend adding some velcro straps to keep them wrapped up.

Saris rack is sturdy but not as sturdy as my hitch-mount rack. Holds electra townie securely. I carry 2 heavier mountain bikes, i probably use this thing on average 15 to 20 times per year.

Price


It’s perfect and the price was so reasonable.


So after deciding the bmw tax was just too high to put on a receiver hitch i opted for the saris rack.


This cost me two batteries so i know what i'm talking about.


I bought this, more than i wanted to spend, but worth the cost.

Was going to install a rear hitch, but as i had a honda fit and subaru crosstrek, i wanted to be able to switch between the two...  Read More
