Saris Solo 1-Bike Trunk Rack

Very good if you carry a bike with triangular frame. Its balance seem to struggle with step-through bikes. Nonetheless this is much easier to put on than others as it only has vertical straps no horizontal and the unit is fixed shape. It is also very compact for our small boot.

Perfect for one bike. Really easy to put on and take off the car. Only thing is someone could easily nick it.

You have to wonder about the people who just whack a 5* review on there and say 'good product'! There is nothing good about this bike rack. This is a cheap and cheerful product without the cheerful! - I bought it in June and just got round to fitting it and even tightening everything up I would not trust my bike to this. Even when you heave on the straps the bike flaps all over the place. There is nothing to stop someone nicking your bike (and the bike rack!). This is going on ebay - put your money into a better product - this is not fit for purpose in my opinion. Highly disappointed with it and even more disappointed in myself that I can't send it back for a refund :((

The rack worked well, the down side is the bottom straps did not tighten up fully. I bought 2 x extra ratchet straps to go across my bicycle, from rear wheel arch to rear wheel arch. These plus the bike carrier made my bike very secure.

I bought this for lockdown so I could let my child cycle around the park. I am a mum of 3 who drives a Renault scenic. I had to write a review because it is brilliant. I've used it about 5 times, it's easy to click on in seconds and is sturdy. I've used it on the motorway and no issues. I can easily secure the bike on myself and it's really handy to remove and store in the boot for when needed. Will have to get the bigger one when my other 2 are old enough. 10/10 would recommend.

Pluses - Its versatile and light weight and fit on both our household hatch backs, skoda fabia and ford focus. Downside it is that no matter how tight you get the straps it still twists and moves around and has left 2 big round fine scored marks on my boot below the window and this was with my sons small bike. I headed customer advice and padded all the possible contact points with socks and towels before first use. But the rubber feet must make contact with the car, you cant pad those. My husbands full sized bike was worse it twisted the plastic frame and we added nearly an hour onto the journey stopping and going to readjust. I've have to t-cut out all the scores from the rubber feet.

Travelled from Dorset to Cumbria and never really noticed the bike their. Would have been good to have some bumpers provided and velco tabs to stop the wheels rotating. A length of pipe lagging and 2 elastic tie downs did the trick.

In principle this carrier is a nice idea for transporting one bike. But having fitted it, it was clear the bike would slap against the car during transport as there's very little clearance,. This can be alleviated by copious padding but I couldn't be bothered to fiddle around with that every time I wanted to fit the rack. So... I've bought a Saris Bone 2 which by comparison is absolutely brilliant,. I recommend any one contemplating a Saris Solo to find the extra lolly and do what I did. Look out for my unused Solo on EBay!

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.

強度面でどうかと最初不安でしたが、十分に使いこなせます。ママチャリの重さにも十分耐えます。

Facil de colocar y ocupa poco espacio.

Works amazing !! Have drove it both on the highway and on dirt roads and up to 40km one way trip with no issue at all !

Finalmente un portabici sicuro, veloce da installare e comodo da caricare con la MTB. Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che non vogliono avere le barre sul tetto e non hanno un gancio traino. Si monta in 2 minuti e resta incredibilmente stabile e ben fisso al portellone posteriore con pochi ganci/cinghie. Dopo anni abituato ai sistemi da fissare al gancio traino (incredibilmente sicuri, veloci e stabili) devo ammettere che anche il saris si è dimostrato un alternativa più che soddisfacente ad un costo nettamente inferiore!
