SuperClamp G3 Platform Hitch Bike Rack - Lightweight, Durable, Versatile, and Compact

When I first bought the SuperClamp, the hook portion was difficult to slide up and down, even with attempts to apply various lubricants. I contacted Saris and they immediately sent replacement arms (thank you!) With the new arms, everything worked well for over a year. But now, I'm having the same problem as before -- the hook portion is difficult to slide up/down. I think the plastic does not work well with the metal. Also, as others have mentioned, there is a considerable amount of sway. Though the bikes/racks appear secure, it is still very disconcerting to observe in the rear-view mirror!

I have both the 2 and 4 bike hitch rack. I need this as I have a graphite shaft bike and can only clamp on the wheels. The great versatility allows for carrying any none e-bike. This rack allows for the ability to interchange out the wheel saddles for wider ones if need for fat tire bikes. It's made in the USA and rock solid performance. I use it to haul my bikes to several states with no issues.

I really like this bike rack. This is my 4th. Two were damaged in collisions (they do get backed into by other cars, just FYI), and the other one partially disintegrated while carrying a bike (the bike fell off while the car was moving and of course it was damaged). Now you would think because of that I wouldn't buy another but I really like the set up. It is SO easy to use with minimum fussing over straps, etc. I do put the arms up now when I park so people can see the thing, which is a minor irritant, but I've tried other bike racks and just didn't like all the straps and steps to secure the bike. I'm hoping this one doesn't deteriorate in the sun like the other one. If it does, I'll be in touch with Saris. However, don't let this stop you from getting this rack. It's great.

I’ve had this bike rack for a little over three years now. Keep in garaged for the most part but have had no issues with its performance. I’m sure it will stand the test of time.

I bought the Super clamp ES two by kitchen due to its light weight. It did not disappoint! It is lightweight and easy to use!

I like that is is pretty light, and I like that it secures the tires & not on the carbon frame. However, the tire hooks are sometimes a little sticky/stubborn and temperamental to release. The lock cables are heftier than previous racks, but they are still a tad short. You really could have given 6 more inches - or maybe that wouldn't fit inside???

To this date the rack has worked well. I had to tighten the bolt that connects the rack to the hitch, that's about it. It takes some practice learning to use the thing....at this point I load the bike quickly. I purchased two months ago. So far nothing horribly wrong!

I've had this for about a year. I have a 70s street bike (Fuji) and an 80s hybrid (Trek). This is a heavy rack but not necessarily heavy-duty. In the time I've owned it, the plastic components have broken. The wheel holder I couldn't fix as it bears the weight of the bike, so I ordered another one. The clamp I was able to epoxy back together. This bike rack cannot withstand being dropped from bumper height. Ask me how I know.

Pros: - Felt sturdy when new, especially with hitch tightener. For example, bikes didn't wiggle at all on the highway (relative to vehicle) - Integrated bike lock feature is nice, although I wish the cables were a little longer Cons: - Ratcheting arms wore out quickly, and now swing freely rather than locking to hold wheels. At this point only a little friction between the hooks and the ties is keeping them in place which is not adequate or safe. - Modern trail/enduro mtn bikes (with their long wheelbases) don't fit well into the wheel trays, even with the trays extended as far as possible - As with any tray style carrier, it is difficult to fully load with 3-4 bikes due to all the overlapping bike parts in space and awkward lifting. I wish I had bought a vertical hanging style rack like Vel**axx, L**o, A**a, etc. (redactions mine, not sure if allowed or in good taste to directly mention other brands) - Working with the wheel straps as designed can be a pain, as you must lift the bikes in juuuust so, then reach around and through to tighten, etc. - The mechanism for lowering the rack to access rear vehicle gate requires some acrobatic reaching and stretching to use, especially when the rack is loaded with bikes. I gave up and don't use this feature. Vehicle rear gate is simply off limits when the rack is in use.

Can't believe this holds 60lb bikes for how light it is! Super versatile and easy to adjust. Love this rack.

We purchased this rack, for 2 bikes, after borrowing the one that holds 4 bikes. Its perfect for my wife and I. Simple to install on the car. Not too heavy. Not too light. Solid construction. Its easy to mount the bikes on and secure them to the rack. the initial adjustments were also very easy. Now we are ready for whatever bike adventures we want. Looking at the price. It seams reasonable compared to other racks we similar features.

Quick to fold, quick to latch. Solid grip. Love this carrier! Folded up on my mini-van, sits below the rear window. Super compact!

Nice, compact and lightweight rack. Adjustability allows 4 bikes to fit without major contact points. Lack of weight makes it a little less rigid, so expect some flex and movement. Receiver sleeve insert (with nut for hitch bolt) could be improved as it slides into the square tube and makes it difficult to re-attach, and bolt comes loose easily (keep a wrench handy to tighten on gas stops!). I haven cracked a tire tray yet but I hope Saris will stand behind their warranty as it looks like a potential weak point.

This is a good bike rack but it would be great if the holding arms laid out more flat for easier loading or so it would be possible to use a loading ramp. As a smaller woman, Im unable to lift my bike high enough by myself to get it over the clamp arms.

Overall great. Hard to reach bolt to tighten it. Difficult angle

Works fine but would have been better if I'd an idea that a stabilizer might be a good add-on. First trip without that was a little nerve racking.

I had a desire to upgrade my rack this fit my wants (platform v hang, integrated security, low profile that doesn't block visibility of license plate & camera). I haven't owned a whole lot of bike racks but the price was higher than comparable models, but I chose Saris model because of my past purchase history with Saris. I wanted to have a rack that didn't block my rear-facing camera when not in use and also wanted no frame touch. I have a small sports car so the low profile works great for me, but also this rack looks right at home on a larger SUV. This model doesn't have tilt-away but I didn't need it. I know that the integrated lock is ONLY meant as a deterrent and not for major security, but my complaint is that its difficult to "secure" the wheels and the frame at the same time because cable is 6in too short. Otherwise I think this rack checks all of the boxes

Tilt assembly is not sturdy. At the beginning i received with the handle broken once replaced by Saris I used it only once on a 500 miles trip and the metal shows some dents in transport position. Good thing is that Saris provides good support and lifetime warranty

I do not usually write reviews about anything but I appreciate what other people say. I did a lot of research on every bike rack out there and this by far is the best there is. 10 minutes out of the box and it is on your vehicle. Easy to set up easy to put bikes on. There are some carries you need to be careful with if your bike or bikes have fenders. This takes every bike every size and holds them solid with two attachments to the wheels instead of one like most others. And it does not weigh 50 lbs so taking on and off is easy. Folds up nice and tight to the vehicle and is out of the way of your trunk. It truly has all the good features of all the other carriers combined.

Made in America! 🇺🇸 Fantastic quality and workmanship! I just got my new Ford Bronco and needed a 4-bike rack coming from a pickup. This was the best one I found. E-MTB capable, which was a requirement too!
