This trunk-mounted rack is an excellent, entry-level option for carrying 1 bike on your sedan, hatchback, or van. It has no moving parts so it's easy to set up right out of the box, and you can remove it quickly for storage in your vehicle.

Specs:
Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
A trunk-mounted bike rack doesn't get any simpler than this. Just take it out of the box and strap it to your vehicle. It has no moving parts and it's small so you can easily store it in your trunk or garage when you're not riding.
Soft, rubber cradles with ratcheting straps firmly grip your bike's frame at 2 points.
The integrated, cam-buckle anti-sway strap grips your bike by the seat tube or down tube, helping to prevent front-to-back sway. This minimizes bike-to-car contact during transit.
It has dual arms that provide better bike support than single-arm racks. They are designed to accommodate women's, children's, and alternative bike frames. The straight arms hold your bike up at an angle for optimal clearance from your vehicle and the ground.
The rack is easy to set up on your trunk or hatch. Place the rack on the center of the back of your vehicle with the shorter, rubber padded legs on top. These rubber pads protect your paint and are slip-resistant to help prevent the rack from shifting during transit.
4 Extra-long nylon straps anchor the rack in place on your trunk or hatch with steel hooks. They are vinyl-coated to prevent scratches and scuffs and are individually labeled to indicate where each hook should be placed for a proper install. Each strap has an easy-to-use ladder-lock buckle to tighten it in place.

This trunk-mounted rack is an excellent, entry-level option for carrying 1 bike on your sedan, hatchback, or van. It has no moving parts so it's easy to set up right out of the box, and you can remove it quickly for storage in your vehicle.I bought this carrier for a 2014 Nissan Maxima. The price, recycled plastic and design all appealed to me. I gave it only 3 stars because I learned - too late for my first ride - that the button on the buckle that the cradle straps pass through does not have enough clearance to release the straps. The button makes contact with the frame of the cradle without releasing the straps. On the video there is much more clearance to depress the button than on my unit. When I got home I used a flat head screwdriver inserted into the back of the buckle to pry up the buckle so the strap could slide. Not ideal but better than having the carrier take my bike hostage.
Happy with this product. Super fast delivery. The carrier fit my 2017 VW Altrack and was easy to install. My bike stayed secure through an 11 hour drive There is no way to lock the bike on the carrier so you will need to remove it if you stay at a hotel or camp ground overnight. It’s very easy to remove and reinstall on the carrier. I did need to wrap one of the pedals to keep it from scratching my car. The pedal could also be removed but I found it easier to add protective padding. I definitely will use this carrier again, for local trails and for further trips.
Super easy to use and remove. Just pull the straps tight and secure your bike to the loops. Use a piece of styrofoam or cardboard between the bike or bike pedal and your truck lid to prevent any scratching of the paint on your car.
I was very impressed with the response time. My order was shipped within 2 hours of placing the order, during one of the busiest times of the year (Christmas). I bought the bike holder for my son and was looking for a quality product that was easy to use. I am very happy with my purchase. I also appreciate the follow up email from the owners. Well done.
Got here much faster than expected, and setting it up on the back of my car was pretty straightforward and easy! Thanks for the excellent customer service!

Nice to hear from you Jeffrey. You definitely have a very frustrating yet unique issue with your bike rack. I reached out to Saris because this isn't something I have dealt with before. I am going to get back to you on some tips to hopefully fix that!
