Description
When starting your search for a bike rack, the best place to start is by asking yourself: where on your car do you want to carry bikes? A bike rack is a type of bicycle accessory that attaches to a vehicle to transport one or more bikes. In the car rack world, there are three locations to choose from: trunk, hitch and roof. We only manufacture trunk and hitch racks. If you’re looking for something specific to fit inside vans, SUVs and trucks, we have the Traps Single and Traps Triple Track. Our line-up has bike-carrying solutions for one bike up to five. We’ve put it in each rack’s name so that it’s fast and easy to find. Our bicycle racks are designed to make it easier to simply get out and go.

We recently purchased a 53 lb "commuter" ebike with a step through frame and fenders. Our existing rack can not carry such a bike so I went looking for a new one. I have many requirements. 1. Support for both a 1.25" and 2" hitches (I have vehicles with both) 2. Support for the e-bike with the weight, step through frame and fenders being notable challenges 3. Support for carbon fiber frames 4. Support for a few other bikes I have I spent hours doing research and was nearly convinced that a rack that could do everything I wanted did not exist. Then I ran across this Saris. I'm happy to say that everything on my wishlist is fulfilled! Of course no rack is perfect and this one has its own pros and cons: Pros: 1. Sturdy. Loaded up with the ebike and another bike, this rack is solid. There is some axial movement when going over bumps but it's not worrying to me. 2. Bikes are held very securely but also gently. I really like the tire straps and the fact that most of the bikes weight is supported by it's tires. The holders are nicely designed and interface the bike with soft surfaces. 3. Lightweight. At only 21 lbs, this rack is easy to install and carry around. My 1.25" hitch is only class 1 (100 lbs max weight) so the 21lbs avoids cutting too much into the weight budget for that hitch.. Cons: 1. Getting the heavy ebike into the (recommended) back position requires some strength. I fold down the center bar which helps a lot but still I'd say any bike being put in the back position will need to be held at chest height for 30 seconds to a minute or more. 2. It was quite a puzzle getting everything to fit the first time. The tire holders need to be slid into the best positions and the center support is too short to reach the horizontal bar of my road bike. The tire holders are also a bit close to the center bar and to each other, meaning that there are possible interference issues with the center bar and the bikes. I was able to puzzle through it all and have a satisfactory solution. Now that everything is where I decided to put it, the bikes go on very quickly. 3. The shape of the rack makes it a bit awkward to store. I put up some storage hooks that are getting the job done but I wouldn't call it a tidy package when off the car. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this rack.

The Saris Freedom 2 bike rack is extremely easy to assemble. I followed the instructions for installing the hitch portion into the receiver of my truck. This makes it easier to bolt the frame work together. Actually, I laid out all the parts first to make sure everything was there. Placing the bike on the rack and fastening it down is easy as well. Just remember to push the bar down on to the bike tire first, this will hold it in place so you can fasten the wheel straps. I like the fact that you can lock the bike with the key lock that's integrated with the bar assembly. Also the hitch has a lock that fastens to the bolt that tighten's to the receiver. I go over two different sets of railroad crossing's and the bike stays in place. I've even forgotten to lock the bike and it stays in place. A bit pricey, but, well worth the investment I think. I added the reflective tape, just as an added caution for people that like to tailgate me.

The Saris Freedom 2 was easy to assemble and robust but light weight, as compared to a Freedom 4 I recently sold. I added some 3M reflective because 1) I don't want someone backing into my new rack, and 2) I don't want to catch a shin at 6am. Loading bikes for the first time took a few minutes. A more expensive rack with independent wheel restrains would likely be much quicker. Road bikes with a horizontal top tube would be quicker too. The rack does not come with a second slot to lock the rack to the hitch but the screw-in type pin does secure the rack tightly to the hitch. Overall, for the money the Saris Freedom 2 is a very nice rack for the money. I paid $319.99 which is a great price for a rack made in the USA.

Very disappointed with the quality of this, in fact, this rack is junk! Considering the price of this rack, I was expecting much better quality. I got this to replace an inexpensive rack, but although this is more than triple the price it is in no way any better. I can not trust this rack at all. I think I'd trust my cheaper department store rack more than this thing. Very, very disappointing. The straps for the tires and vertical post are very cheap plastic garbage that I'm sure will be broken soon. These straps are also a frustrating royal pain in the butt to get tight. The plastic "protection" in the post strap is useless and will not stay slid up on the straps to protect anything. I, unfortunately, bought the 2 bike version and the bar that goes from the rack to the receiver is extremely small or to put it another way, it is very undersized for the load that is supposed to carry with 2 loaded up bikes. When you're bouncing down the road it will likely not hold up to the stress of daily use. It even has a sticker warning you not to step on it. If it can't hold someone stepping on it how is it supposed to hold up to 120lbs as you head down the road?!? One reason I picked this one was because of its higher advertised weight rating of 60lbs per bike. This whole thing is made from light gauge metal and a lot of plastic that will never hold up to the stresses of the road. Even with the hitch bolt installed and tightened correctly there is a lot of flexing or movement due to the light gauge metal just not being a heavy enough gauge. One other big reason I bought this rack was because it was made in the USA and I was expecting a well-built, somewhat heavy-duty rack, but this thing is so disappointing!! This entire rack is made with lightweight cheap parts. I may as well have bought China-made junk. So sorry that this was the one that I picked!!

I may change my review to a more favorable rating after I've used this rack a few times. I've gone through three different bike rack assemblies now, and this one was by far the easiest to put together. I really do not like the plastic "cups" and don't trust them to hold the weight of my ebike, even though my bike meets the weight limit for this rack. I also found out that the 2.5 tire cups do not fit my bike. Other 2.5 ones did -- so I had to order (at a cost of $50 more) Saris's extra wide tire wheel holders. If you are only carrying one bike or you have two bikes of different weight, you must put the heavier bike on the inside mount -- closer to the car. It is really, really difficult, unless you have two people, to get the bike onto the inside mount. I like the heavy metal frame but I am extremely nervous about those plastic wheel holders. If that plastic cracks, you are going to lose your bike. I really wish those were metal. There is little support at the top part of the bike to hold it in place. I'm going to be doing a lot of extra strapping with Velcro straps to help insure the bike stays in place. In summary, I'm really nervous about this rack, especially with an ebike.

Bought for my BMW SUV 2 inch hitch. Also bought an inexpensive hitch stabilizer through Amazon and a simple hitch lock at Harbor Freight for $13. I’m a 57 yr old male who generally works in an office but it was easy to install with a crescent. Bought to transport my 2 Qlife commuter e-bikes. I travelled 300miles on an interstate the first weekend after I installed it and I had no issues whatsoever. The tire straps are very easy to operate. I invested on some 18 inch silicone straps through Amazon to help secure the middle frame because the middle strap is not long enough to wrap around my e-bike frame. I do not recommend purchasing the $18 Obsidian bike cover as it easy ripped 1 hour into my 4 hr trip due light winds even through I strapped it pretty good around the bikes.

This replaced a ten-year-old Yakima rack where the bikes hang from a horizontal U-shaped tube. Materials fatigue over time made it no longer secure. The Saris Freedom 2 was easy to assemble. As a rule, I hate picture-only instructions, but these were quite good -- they even told me to put two shipping covers for bolts into the trash. They include the Allen wrench you need to screw in the bolts; your crescent wrench or even pliers hold the nuts while you do this. The vertical U-tube was missing from the package, surprisingly, but Saris customer service overnighted a new one to me so that I could keep my plans for driving the bike on a weekend trip. Reading some of the comments, I thought that adjusting the rack might be a bit finicky, but it was really pretty easy. By the third time I had the bike on and off, it was second nature. And I liked not having to lift the bike up as high as I did for the old rack. Also, more of the bike was behind my car, which I'm sure reduces air drag at least somewhat. I really like the secure feel of the cradles for the two wheels -- they're not flat but contoured, so the bike isn't rolling anywhere -- the clips provide extra security, of course. The third support point, on the U-tube, doesn't bear any weight but simply holds the bike vertical. Driving at 60 mph, in the rear-view mirror the bike was rock steady on smooth roads. On more typical upstate New York roads :-) it was still very steady, just slight vibration and much less than the Yakima it replaced. I've known for a while that I needed to replace my old bike rack, and I'm very happy with this choice. I don't know if I'll need Saris customer support again but based on my experience with them I expect they'll be super helpful if I do need to contact them.

We can install the rack in the hitch easily, and load and unload the two bikes with no problems once we got the adjustments figured out the first time. The adjustments did take a while with several trials and tweaks with the wheel holders and center-post clamp positionings. We slid the wheel holders left and right several times until both bikes fit in nicely. The rear bike is a 45-lb electric, so to lift it in, we put the center post down to the left fully. Once in the wheel holders, we leaned the bike back and let it rest against the car while we brought the center post back up straight, and slid up the center clamp onto the down tube. The outer bike, only 21 lbs, was a breeze. Again, you can tilt the bike outward to slide the center clamp up or down into position. Once all six clamps were tied down, the whole affair was quite stable. Don't forget to tighten all six of the moveable wheel holders and center clamps once they are in the final positions. The wheel holders stay in position for any particular bike, so they are already tightened, but the center clamps slide up and down with each loading, so those are what you need to remember to tighten once the clamps are on the downtubes. I thought the assembly of the rack was easy - only a few bolts to tighten.
