Will the Saris Freedom SuperClamp Bike Rack Hold Bikes with Fenders on a 2014 Toyota Prius
Updated 05/05/2014 | Published 05/01/2014
Question:
On the Saris site they say this rack will work with a bike with fenders I can under stand it handling the front shorter fender but does it really work for the back longer fender. I drive a 2014 Prius. Thanks for your help.

According to my contact at Saris, that is correct. Since it also uses front and rear wheel straps, as long as you can get the front wheel clamped down really well you can just do the best you can with the rear hook and it will be good to go. The front fender on a bike stops right where you would want the hook to be so ideal placement is not hard to get for the front wheel. For the back tire then you can either float the hook slightly over it to prevent it from bouncing out in some kind of extreme situation or if it is just a single bike on the rack you can clamp the hook down below the fender where ever possible.
