Saris Hitch Bike Racks

A hitch bike rack slides into the receiver hitch on the back of your vehicle, so bikes ride behind it at waist height with nothing on the roof. Two styles decide most of it. Hanging racks carry bikes by the top tube on two arms, take two to six bikes and cost less; platform racks hold bikes by the wheels, take one to four with add-on trays and suit e-bikes, fat bikes, step-through frames and bikes with fenders. Then check the hitch: a 1.25" receiver carries fewer and lighter bikes than a 2" receiver, and some racks are made only for 2". Swing-away racks pivot clear so the tailgate or rear door opens with bikes loaded; RV-rated racks are built for the bouncing behind a motorhome or on the back of a trailer. Call 1-800-272-5362 with your hitch size and your bikes and a Rack Specialist will confirm the rack and any adapter it needs.
