Hi, everyone. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX 5-Bike Rack on our 2016 Nissan Pathfinder.This is going to be able to hold five bikes. There also is a 4-bike rack version available. But on this one, it has five bikes that you can fit on here, and it has three different tie-down points per bike.

Adam: Hi, everybody. Adam with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX 2 on our 2016 Nissan Pathfinder.This will be able to hold two bikes and has three tie-down points per bike.

What this does, it just helps your bike from swaying so it prevents that bike-to-bike contact that you get with some bike racks.This is going to have a 10-1/2" spread, which is extremely .. it's a lot larger than most spreads on most bike racks, so that makes that kind of unique here.
