Question:

comparing the Saris SA805BL & the Yakima Y02634 I have a 2018 Mazda CX5. I have womens bike and was comparing the 2 recommended for my car. This will be my first bike rack as I usually just put it in the back on my car, but that has become more difficult with a bad shoulder. I have read some of the reviews on both. Still cant decide. Can you give me any insight ? I do understand that I have to purchase the extra part to secure my womens bike. Thank you,

The Saris Bones part # SA805BL and the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 are both really great bike rack choices. I would recommend the Bones for you though since you said you have a bad shoulder. This rack only weighs 10 lbs whereas the Fullback weighs 28 lbs so it's going to be much easier to install and remove. Aside from that they are both really well made and easy to use so going with the lighter option would be my recommendation.
