Question:
Does this rack have a ramp for loading a heavy bike?

Hi Sue, great question. I totally get wanting a ramp so you’re not lifting a heavy bike up there.
The Saris MHS DUO part # SAR23MR does have a loading ramp available, part # SAR54GR, so you can roll the bike up instead of lifting it. The only catch right now is that ramp is on backorder for about 2 months as of today.
If you’re hoping to get something sooner, the Kuat Piston SR part # KU88ZR is a really nice alternative. It also has a ramp option, part # KU63VR, and those are available now. That setup gives you the same easy roll-up loading, and the rack comes with locks included which is a nice bonus.
The Saris does fold up a bit more compactly, while the Kuat still folds but not quite as tightly, but both are great options depending on what matters more to you.
Will you usually be loading the bike by yourself or with a riding buddy?
