Saris launched their MHS (Modular Hitch System) base racks a few years in the past with 1-, 2-, and 3-bike lengths. The oblong beam allow you to slide the specified attachments onto it, whether or not it was bike trays or, finally, a cargo basket.
Now, the Cargo basket is official, delivery in October for $399, and there’s a brand new Uno bike tray that’s lighter and less complicated than the Duo model it began with.
The Saris Uno makes use of a single (as in, one…as in, uno) sliding hook to seize the entrance wheel and stabilize the bike. A ratchet strap holds the rear wheel in place, working very similar to different racks in the marketplace. The tray itself is easy and light-weight, and is available in two variations – a slide-on MHS model, and a bolt-on model that provides an additional bike to the top of the MHS platform. So, with a 3-bike beam, you might have 4 bikes complete.
The design contrasts with the Duo, which makes use of two absolutely closed wheel cradles that open independently to seize every wheel with out touching the body. These are $349.99 per bike, however the Uno is available in at simply $249.99 per bike. The MHS base receivers vary from $199.99 to $249.99, and you’ll combine and match Unos and Duos as you want.
The Cargo Basket slides over the MHS base, too, taking on two bikes’ price of house…so, get the 3-bike base in order for you cargo plus a motorbike. It has 5.5 sq. ft of platform house and may maintain as much as 200lbs.
