Review: A Great Basic Rack - I bike to work and my son bikes to school. I was looking for a bike rack for days when bad weather or other circumstances make it impractical to bike home and we need to be picked up. I specifically wanted something inexpensive, and easy to install and use. Also compact and light, if possible. This rack does all those things. It is extremely easy to put on or remove from the car. I have a 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback and installation is very simple and direct: put the four clips in place and cinch up the slack. The only caveat is that mounting at the recommended angle on my car obstructs the rear window wiper. Otherwise, the rack is small and light enough to keep in the car's trunk until needed. It installs quickly - just make sure to test-fit the rack on the car before you need to use it. It helps to keep the top straps set and only loosen the bottom straps to remove/replace. The straps are very long, so you might want to use rubber bands or something to keep the slack wound up. The mounting straps use spring loaded metal buckles to hold tension. The top buckles rest on top of the strap material, but there is a possibility they could slide around and the metal may come in contact with your roof/spoiler/trunk lid. My car is old and has its share of scratches and dings, so I won't notice another mark. If you have a nice car, you might want to put something under the buckle. This rack only holds one bike, obviously. The bike's top tube is cradled at the end of the arms and held in place by fairly robust ratcheting plastic tabs/buckles that are easy to use. The ends of the arms are scooped out semicircles about 1-5/8" across. I tested this rack with a bike that has an 1-1/2" aluminum top tube and it fit fine. The left arm has another fabric strap that you can loop around the seat tube or a rim or pedal to keep the bike from swinging. This spot will be different on each bike, but I really couldn't cinch that strap tight against anything on any bikes I mounted. What happens is you can pull that strap tight on the frame until it a tire snugs against the bumper. Also, you're going to have to find the sweet spot for the inner crank/pedal so it doesn't rub or scratch the car. These issues are common to any rack that hangs a bike from its top tube. I only rated it four stars on sturdiness because the rack itself is plastic and may not be as durable as a metal rack. I don't know how well it or the straps would hold up long term on a permanent-ish installation with sun/rain exposure, but everything about this rack seems to be made with portability/temporary use in mind. It does feel solid and sturdy for being made of plastic. No issues holding a steel frame road bike. The more vertical you can mount the arms, the more stable it will be. If you want a more permanent rack or something really heavy duty, you might want to spend a little more on something else, but for my specific use, this is a perfect solution.
Review: Junk!! - This is lightweight and easy to install but the hardware is of the lowest quality. The straps never tighten as much as you need them to. I made a few stops on my way to the bike trail, and each time I had to reconnect a strap hook. I think the plastic rack is strong enough to hold the bike but when I take a corner everything flexes enough to make the straps pop loose. The bike sits too close to the car with this rack. The peddle rest on the hatch and scratched my car. Don't Buy This! Saris needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. I spent the whole drive worrying the bike would fall off my car. I've been driving to the bike trail for 25 years now. I've had a several different bike racks. This one is total junk!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with straps to attach to the car**
A: Yes it does.  Although not part of your question,  this item is not made of the best plastic.  It didn't hold my mountain bike very well as the straps slipped at times.

**Q: Will this fit on my HRV?**
A: The Solo rack will not work on an H-RV but any of the other Saris trunk racks are compatible.

**Q: Will it fit a 2016 Benz GL450?**
A: I found a fit guide on the Saris website.  You may find your answer there, also.

**Q: Several people mention that the bottom should rest on the license plate. But it's illegal to drive with an obscured license plate, so how is that?**
A: I suggest you call your local police department and them your situation. See what they say.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good rack for the money.
*by T***H on July 6, 2025*

I’ve only had the rack for about 4 weeks. So far, it has worked out well. It is very lightweight so it is easy to put on and take off. The ratchet straps are easy to operate and hold the bike well. Note: to avoid potentially scratching the paint on my car, I bought fuzzy Velcros seatbelt covers to wrap around the straps to cover the metal clamps. Perhaps an over abundance of caution, but for a few extra dollars ($10) it was worth the peace of mind. I also purchased rubber pads ($7) to fit over the metal hooks that hold the rack to the car. Again, maybe not needed, but better safe than sorry. The bike tends to sway a bit so I purchased some bendable rubber “straps” that are like a giant twist tie. I got them from Lowes. I use them to stabilize the bike to prevent swaying. So far, I am happy with the purchase for the price and the added ($30) was simply precautionary to protect my car.
