The Spare BAT rack is designed for use on a spare tire. Check the BAT rack and fit guide to see what mounting plate you need.

Pickup trunks cannot support trunk racks, however Saris does offer rack options for 1 ¼” and 2” hitch receivers.   The compatibility of our hitch racks will vary based on the installation of the receiver on the vehicle and tongue weight rating of the hitch.

Currently we are only able to process US orders .  To find your local dealer please visit our international distributor list.

You will need to contact your local Saris Dealer and ask them about a master set of keys.  If your dealer doesn’t have a master set, contact customer service and we can send the dealer a set.  For security purposes we cannot send master key sets to customers direct

Each product page on our website contains a link to the current instruction manual for that rack.  For a complete list of instruction manuals to download, refer to the Instruction Manuals page.

All Saris racks have a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. Please see our warranty page for more information.

There is a fit guide located on the Saris website. You can also call your local bike shop or call our customer service line at 1-800-783-7257.

Replacement rack parts, including Bones knobs, are available on our accessories page.

Hatch Huggers are an accessory used on our trunk racks. They are required for some cars that have glass hinge lines (such as on some hatchbacks). Our fit guide will detail which cars require them.

What class hitch do I need for my hitch rack?

1 ¼” hitches come in class 1 and class 2.  Class 1 has a tongue weight rating of 200lbs and class 2 has a rating of 300lbs.  You need a minimum 300 lb tongue weight rating, or class 2 hitch, to use a 4 bike rack.  A 2 bike rack will work with a 200 lb tongue weight rating, or a class 1 hitch.  If you are using a class 1 hitch, be sure to check the tongue weight limit before using your rack.

2” hitches typically come in a class 3 or higher, and will handle 2 or 4 bike racks.

You can identify the 29er compatible Thelma’s by the lower front wheel holder.  This wheel holder will have 2 positions for the large wheel scoop to lock into labeled “Standard” or “29er”.

A non 29er Thelma cannot be modify with new wheel holders as the frame was also modified to accommodate the wheelbase of 29ers.

No, we do not recommend the use of the Saris rack products on RVs, campers or trailers, and doing so will void the warranty.
