Saris SUPERCLAMP EX Hitch Bike Rack, Bike Rack for Car, 2 Bikes

I have both the 2 and 4 bike hitch rack. I need this as I have a graphite shaft bike and can only clamp on the wheels. The great versatility allows for carrying any none e-bike. This rack allows for the ability to interchange out the wheel saddles for wider ones if need for fat tire bikes. It's made in the USA and rock solid performance. I use it to haul my bikes to several states with no issues.

I really like this bike rack. This is my 4th. Two were damaged in collisions (they do get backed into by other cars, just FYI), and the other one partially disintegrated while carrying a bike (the bike fell off while the car was moving and of course it was damaged). Now you would think because of that I wouldn't buy another but I really like the set up. It is SO easy to use with minimum fussing over straps, etc. I do put the arms up now when I park so people can see the thing, which is a minor irritant, but I've tried other bike racks and just didn't like all the straps and steps to secure the bike. I'm hoping this one doesn't deteriorate in the sun like the other one. If it does, I'll be in touch with Saris. However, don't let this stop you from getting this rack. It's great.

I bought the Super clamp ES two by kitchen due to its light weight. It did not disappoint! It is lightweight and easy to use!

I like that is is pretty light, and I like that it secures the tires & not on the carbon frame. However, the tire hooks are sometimes a little sticky/stubborn and temperamental to release. The lock cables are heftier than previous racks, but they are still a tad short. You really could have given 6 more inches - or maybe that wouldn't fit inside???

To this date the rack has worked well. I had to tighten the bolt that connects the rack to the hitch, that's about it. It takes some practice learning to use the thing....at this point I load the bike quickly. I purchased two months ago. So far nothing horribly wrong!

I've had this for about a year. I have a 70s street bike (Fuji) and an 80s hybrid (Trek). This is a heavy rack but not necessarily heavy-duty. In the time I've owned it, the plastic components have broken. The wheel holder I couldn't fix as it bears the weight of the bike, so I ordered another one. The clamp I was able to epoxy back together. This bike rack cannot withstand being dropped from bumper height. Ask me how I know.

Can't believe this holds 60lb bikes for how light it is! Super versatile and easy to adjust. Love this rack.

We purchased this rack, for 2 bikes, after borrowing the one that holds 4 bikes. Its perfect for my wife and I. Simple to install on the car. Not too heavy. Not too light. Solid construction. Its easy to mount the bikes on and secure them to the rack. the initial adjustments were also very easy. Now we are ready for whatever bike adventures we want. Looking at the price. It seams reasonable compared to other racks we similar features.

This is a good bike rack but it would be great if the holding arms laid out more flat for easier loading or so it would be possible to use a loading ramp. As a smaller woman, Im unable to lift my bike high enough by myself to get it over the clamp arms.

Overall great. Hard to reach bolt to tighten it. Difficult angle

Works fine but would have been better if I'd an idea that a stabilizer might be a good add-on. First trip without that was a little nerve racking.

I had a desire to upgrade my rack this fit my wants (platform v hang, integrated security, low profile that doesn't block visibility of license plate & camera). I haven't owned a whole lot of bike racks but the price was higher than comparable models, but I chose Saris model because of my past purchase history with Saris. I wanted to have a rack that didn't block my rear-facing camera when not in use and also wanted no frame touch. I have a small sports car so the low profile works great for me, but also this rack looks right at home on a larger SUV. This model doesn't have tilt-away but I didn't need it. I know that the integrated lock is ONLY meant as a deterrent and not for major security, but my complaint is that its difficult to "secure" the wheels and the frame at the same time because cable is 6in too short. Otherwise I think this rack checks all of the boxes

Tilt assembly is not sturdy. At the beginning i received with the handle broken once replaced by Saris I used it only once on a 500 miles trip and the metal shows some dents in transport position. Good thing is that Saris provides good support and lifetime warranty

I do not usually write reviews about anything but I appreciate what other people say. I did a lot of research on every bike rack out there and this by far is the best there is. 10 minutes out of the box and it is on your vehicle. Easy to set up easy to put bikes on. There are some carries you need to be careful with if your bike or bikes have fenders. This takes every bike every size and holds them solid with two attachments to the wheels instead of one like most others. And it does not weigh 50 lbs so taking on and off is easy. Folds up nice and tight to the vehicle and is out of the way of your trunk. It truly has all the good features of all the other carriers combined.

Everything about this rack is nice, two bikes are very secure, they’re easy to put on, my hatch opens with bikes on, the locks work nicely, and it doesn’t rattle…what more could you ask for?

Now that the kids are grown, and on their own, my wife and I aren’t as satisfied with just puttering around town on our same old routes. After spending about a month shopping around the different options for our 2016 Honda CRV, we chose the super clamp. EX. SOOOOOO Happy we did! With one year under our belt, here is my take on this rack. Solid construction. Solid welding. Durable and high-quality non-metallic parts. For us being in the 55 to 65 age group, I can mount and unmount it myself; my wife, with sciatica knee issues usually requires a second hand. Once we sized everything for our bikes, and once clamped in, they aren’t going anywhere that our Honda isn’t! Had to get used to a little bit of a slight “wag“ - especially at higher speeds, and during cornering. My mechanically inclined engineer type, friends say this would be normal to no problem. I’ve also noticed that is a lot more stable than other rigs we see using hitch mounts when we’re out on the road. With the bikes naked, there is sufficient exposure of our brake and turn signals to rear traffic. If we’re using our inclement weather black covers for the bike, traffic to our rear still has excellent view of our warning lights. In hindsight, me being a safety guy, I wish I would have bought the added, turn signal and brake light add-on just for that extra 10% over 100% confidence. Easy to get the bikes on and off the rack. The tilt option is great for accessing the vehicles way back section. Both my wife and I can operate this by ourselves with no trouble. When doing so on the road, we received more than a fair share of (dare I say, envious?) looks from other bikers using different rack systems. For being painted metal, it held up well to bumps and scrapes, either during tilting operations, loading, and unloading, etc. As a precaution, I will do a little sand, prime and paint, which I will chalk up to very minor, ongoing maintenance. With SPRING upon us, I’ve already seen how well it will store in my garage and sheds. I even had limited room this winter due to an ongoing fix up project… The rack still was very easy to store out of the way during nonuse season. If you’re looking for a two bike rack hitch mount option, we cannot recommend a better unit.

I am now on my second rack. I love this thing, its great but has a simple design flaw that is easily fixed but they do not want to fix it! The bracket that the pivot bolt is housed is about 1/4 inch to wide and the tolerance is about 1/8 inch on either side of the bracket. This means that the rack wobbles a little then a lot with age. At this point I can rock my bikes about 6 inches down one side then 6 inches down the other side that is a lot! I emailed pictures and videos to them and they said its not a problem. WHAT? Just change the spec on 1 part making it a tighter fit to eliminate the wobble and all new parts will be fine. If people have issues then send them the 1 part. Instead they say there is no problem. They send me a whole new rack! Thanks great job and a year later it is wobbling even more that the first one. Why are they not saving money and just change the 1 part that is easy to take off and change? I would give them 4 stars if they just fixed this one thing.

100% satisfied. Easy to use and has all the bells and whistles.

Love the Saris SuperClamp EX 2-Bike rack. Easy to load and unload my Trek Alant7+ e-bike.

PROs - Solid rack. Once bikes are in, they are part of the rack! Nice and tight. Easy to operate. Built in locks are nice. Tilt feature is nice. Cons - Like others say, the rack bounces around and sways. A lot with 2 heavy bikes. Will give you "rack anxiety." So far no issues, but wow. Fenders and rear kickstands can be a problem. Otherwise, really like the rack. Using it on a 2017 Prius Prime. Rack stays on the car, hauls bikes 3x a week or more. 1 bike no worries, 2 bikes, the bouncing is a little more noticeable, and the Prius can feel the sway. Both eBikes, under 60lbs each. Highway hauling doing 75mph is fine. Slow riding to trail head on dirt road is fine, a little anxiety from the bouncing. I suppose a little play is good, it will take some getting used to the bouncing.
