I scored a Kuat Piston Pro X at 30% off over the summer (never have been a fan of 1UP).

Still on the pricey side though worth every bit of that and then some in my opinion. Two trays is sufficient for me (60 lbs max per tray for 1.25" and 67 lbs max per tray for 2"). If you add trays: 50 lbs max with one add-on and 40 lbs max with a second.

All five of my bikes go on no problem (no fat or "e" ones). My buddy dropped his Foes Mutz fat bike on and was impressed. He has to deflate the tires to get it on his hitch rack. The bike is awesome... sort of like operating a bulldozer lol

1up is the best bike accessory I've ever purchased.

(there's a fat bike adaptor kit that modifies the arm width, super simple)

Not a long term or ownership experience, but I did travel with someone that has the Saris. Compared to the 1up I have... the Saris is closer to the ground. They experienced ground strikes with the Saris when we got off the beaten path where the 1up never came close to hitting the ground. Even though my 1up had 3 bikes and the Saris had 2, the 1up was noticeably stiffer. The Saris has a lot more plastic on it. Well, "a lot more" is misleading considering the 1up has zero plastic on it to begin with, so any plastic would be "a lot more".

Again, not long term feedback, and really just an observation. But if the question is regarding long term... I'd have to give the 1up more points.... sturdier, no plastic, simpler. To me, that helps long term expectancy. But, that's not to say the Saris won't last long. Just maybe not as long as a 1up.

Just an update - finally disassembled the tray that failed.
With the kind of metal they used for that clickwheel who needs to be afraid of plastic!
