    Favorite Trail:CCT
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $430.00
    Purchased At:Under The Sun
    Strengths:Design concept and ease of loading. Keeps bike and car well apart. Good for loading especially if you have a tall vehicle and want to avoid putting a bike on the roof. Exceptional warranty service.
    Weaknesses:Weather resistance. Rusts easily in four-season use. Rust can permanently damage the securing mechanisms the rack uses to keep bike attached.
    Similar Products Used:Thule.
    Bike Setup:2 bike, 2-inch hitch receiver.
    Bottom Line:This is an addendum to my first post. In all fairness to Saris, they replaced my entire rack when rust had caused the rack to deteriorate beyond safe use. I rated them low for durability under what I think of as ordinary conditions in use, but the warranty service has been exceptional. I am up-rating to give a little better balance to this account.

    Favorite Trail:CCT
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $430.00
    Strengths:Convenient loading, keeps bike away from car and vice-versa.
    Weaknesses:Poor metal finishing and rust-prone hardware; poor durability.
    Similar Products Used:Thule
    Bike Setup:2 bike hitch mount carrier, 2-inch mount.
    Bottom Line:Great concept, poor execution. The loading is easy but at three years' use on one car, this unit is shot. There has been extensive rust on all metal parts including the fasteners, main metal carrier body, rear wheel trays, original bolts (I finally had to replace them with stainless ones, they rusted so badly,) retaining arms, ratcheting mechanisms (which have already been replaced once), and hitch bar. The powdercoating must have been applied without treating the steel or was allowed to form rust before coating. There is extensive bubbling and flaking off of the powdercoat finish revealing deep rust that has compromised the structural integrity of this expensive rack. Needless to say, this has been a disappointment. I can't recommend this unit.
