The SuperClamp EX lets you rapidly load and safely transport 2 bikes on your vehicle's 1-1/4" or 2" hitch. This rack has front- and rear-wheel hooks to safely transport your bikes without making frame contact. The lightweight, compact design with a platform-style setup allows for rapid bike loading and unloading. Just set your bikes in the wheel trays, ratchet down the wheel hooks, and secure your bikes with the integrated cable lock.
Ratcheting Wheel Hooks
It has padded, ratcheting hooks that secure your bikes by the wheels - not by the frame. This prevents the rack from scratching and scuffing your bike's paint or damaging the frame, which makes the SuperClamp EX an excellent choice for transporting bikes with carbon fiber frames.
The hooks adjust independently - just press the gray button and slide the hook up or down. This adjustability allows you to carry any combination of full-size adult bikes, women's bikes, children's bikes, and alternative-frame bikes.
Adjustable Wheel Trays
Injection-molded plastic wheel trays slide along the rack's horizontal arms to accommodate bikes with different wheelbases. These trays secure in place with twist knobs.
Use the included ratcheting straps to secure your bike's rear wheel to the wheel tray.
There are built-in reflectors on the outside wheel trays that increase visibilty for both daytime and nighttime travel.
If you want to carry a fat bike with tires wider then 4-1/2", you can replace the rack's wheel trays with fat bike cradles (SA4419 - sold separately).
Folding Masts at Ends of Base
The masts are located at opposite ends of the base, making the SuperClamp EX extremely easy to load and unload. Because these masts are at each end of the base, instead of in the middle like most platform racks, they won't interfere in any way with your bikes as you load or unload them. Instead, they simply fold out of the way, giving you a clear path to the wheel trays.
These masts lock into the upright position for use, then fold down for storage and access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. Just press down on the gray button and rotate the mast to the desired position. The masts pivot on strong, case-hardened steel brackets that ensure long life and smooth operation.
Folding and Tilting Design
There is an integrated lever that lets you tilt the rack down with bikes loaded for access to your rear cargo area or fold the rack up against your vehicle for storage. And it means you can leave the rack in your hitch without it interfering with your cargo hatch or backup camera. The compact design lets you easily store the rack in your garage when it's not in use. There is also a built-in bottle opener over the lever.
Complete Security System
The SuperClamp EX includes locks to deter theft of your bikes and the rack. A braided, 10-mm stainless steel cable lock built into the base secures your bikes to the rack. The cable has a vinyl coating to prevent it from scratching your bikes. Simply thread the cable through the bike frames and attach it to the lock body at the other end of the base.
When not in use, the lock stores inside the rack's arm. A push-button releases the lock, so it won't accidentally slide out and drag on the ground during transport.
The HitchTite lock fits over the end of your threaded hitch pin to secure the rack to your hitch. The threaded hitch pin serves as an anti-rattle device to minimize movement and noise in the hitch.
Both locks have push-to-lock bodies that make them easy to secure and help to prevent accidental locking. Integrated dust caps keep the lock cores clean and dry. And the locks are keyed alike, so you can use the same key for both locks.
The included adapter sleeve ensures the SuperClamp EX will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches.

Very easy to install. Great rack. Holds the bike very securely. Take the time to move the wheel trays around to get the perfect fit of both bikes. Took about 20 minutes, and it has been worry free ever since. The rack doesn't move while traveling down the road. Nice product. 163527

The only thing better than a Saris designed rack is purchasing it from Etrailer. Super fast delivery as well as a good price. This is the 4th Saris rack that I have owned. What I like about this rack is that, like the Thelma series, it holds the bike by the wheels instead of the frame. It can handle any size tire and any type of frame. The SuperClamp enables you to transport any bike that you have. 591609

Excellent service,knowledgeable,polite and a sincere desire to help with the best choice for our needs. Couldn’t have asked for more,thank you. Our bike rack is easy load easy unload,super user friendly and the built in cable locks are brilliant! No hassles with a separate cable lock . It’s also light enough to manage without having to be a weightlifter! Doug. 497520

Purchased this because we needed a lighter weight platform type two-bike rack for our 2005 Prius which could work with a full shock women's bike (bike needs to be attached and secured to rack by tires, not frame). Instructions with the rack could be better in regards to assembly, but it isn't complicated looking at the photos and videos on etrailer.com helped a lot. This seems to be a good quality rack. Customer service helpful and responded quickly when I contacted them with questions regarding whether this rack was compatible with our 2005 Prius. 150318

I’ve been riding for 27 years. I’ve had many racks. When the hitch rack was 1st produced it was a game changer. No more taking off wheels, stretching to get to the top of a vehicle, damage to the car from roof and trunk racks or damage to the bikes from banging into each other. The hitch rack is the best rack and this is the best version. 739213

I've only used the rack once so far, but I really like it. I used it on a 29er carbon mountain bike. Part of the trip was on a dirt road and also on rough and curvy paved roads. There is some play to the rack (from the hinge point of the rack), but it was quiet, and I don't recall ever hearing it. Nor did it look at any time like my bike was getting shaken to death. To be clear, the attachment of the rack to the hitch is rock solid. One of the things I really like this rack, and why I chose it over others, is that the integrated bike lock is a pretty beefy cable, and more importantly, it allows me to lock up both wheels and the frame. Many of the integrated locks on other racks only lock up the frame or one wheel, maybe a frame and one wheel, but not all three. I haven't tested the locks trying to lock up the frame and both wheels on two bikes, but it definitely works for one bike. This rack doesn't fold up as flat as other racks that I've seen, but the security was more important to me. All in all, I'm really happy with the rack so far. It seems well made and everything moves and operates smoothly. 594678

After a year, I still really love this rack. Ive had my bike on it on some pretty rough roads and it worked great. Not too long ago I got rear ended by a semi not hard and the rack got bent up a bit. The guy who hit me ended up paying for a new rack, which gave me the opportunity to get something different but I replaced it with the same one. So yeah, Id buy it again.

I purchased this rack because It stated it would support the weight of my 2 electric bikes. The first trip with the rack installed on our motor home it failed after crossing a railroad crossing at 25 mph. The manufacturer told me to read the small print on the rack where it says not for use on any RV. They charged over a $100 for parts to repair it. Using the rack on my jeep or the motor home shouldn't matter. In my opinion the rack is under designed to carry the weight of the bikes as advertised. In good conscience I can not recommend this rack. 609812
Comments
The reason Saris does not recommend using this rack on a motorhome is the extended rear overhang distance between rear axle and rear bumper typically found on motorhomes. This subjects any hitch mounted accessory to greater jarring and bouncing that would be experienced if the rack were used on the rear of a regular passenger vehicle. This extra bouncing exerts forces on the rack that it wasnt designed to withstand. Remember riding in the back seat of the school bus when it went over a big bump when you were a kid? Same principle. We do show in the product description above that the rack is not recommended on motorhomes or towed trailers.

I love the new Saris Super Clamp bike rack for 2 bikes that I purchased recently from Etrailer. I particularly like this rack because it allows me to fold the arms down so that I can open the rear trunk of my SUV. I also cannot say enough about the great service I got from Greg at Etrailer. He kept me informed on when the item was expected to be shipped, and both called and emailed me to make sure I knew when delivery had started and was expected to arrive 942110

Noah was a great help finding the product for my needs. I have 2 heavy ebikes that I wanted "wheel contact" instead of "frame contact". After a careful assessment of my bikes' configurations (fenders, basket, rear rack), we decided on the Saris SuperClamp EX 2. It's perfect. Thank you Noah and etrailer. 898314

I bought this hitch and SARIS bike rack from etrailer so I could mount two bikes on my 2019 Acura RDX. I had a local muffler shop install the hitch, as I didn't have proper tools. it took them 30 mins and $95. Hitch is solid! Looking forward to many years of adventuring! Many thanks, etrailer! 837337

I would recommend everyone to adjust (tension) the bolt that operates as the "hinge pin" on this rack. After tightening it down there was significantly less movement of the bikes when hitting potholes and such. I still sometimes tieing on of the uprights to a spare tire carrier adjacent to the carrier to further efforts to negate any slop. 763606

So I bought this for my 2012 Maxima and I’m very pleased with it. It holds the bikes securely and fits my plus bikes very well. My only gripe is that over time it has developed a wobble at the pivot where the arm meets the center of the rack. It concerns me because this is where the pins that hold it in place for the tilt function are and don’t want this thing tilting out on the highway. 738654

Nice design and opperates as expected. Only reason i didnt give it a 5 star is the packaging and decals. There were a few bolts and the lock loose in the packaging which could have caused damage but luckily didn't. Also the decals on the cross bar had plenty of bubbles in them which doesnt look good. Maybe the assembler was having a bad day, but for the price i expected better. 642640

I am really happy with this Saris bike rack. I was looking to replace an older, very serviceable but heavy rack that took up too much space in my garage and didn't easily allow me to open my Forester's back hatch door. The Saris is lighter, more compact when folded, protective of my bikes, and very easily loaded and secured (with built-in locking cables). A quick release allows the rack and bikes to tilt away from the car to allow easy access to the hatch door. In addition, I always look first for American-made products. This rack, which turned out to be well designed and well built and just what I was looking for, is made in Madison, Wisconsin, and that makes this Wisconsinite and Badger alumnus very happy, indeed! Cheers! 617597

This is a review of the Saris SUPERCLAMP EX 2-BIKE but I have to tell a little story about how I came to purchase this item. First, I bought a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch in March and a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 in early May. The Kuat was very sturdy and well designed. However, even when empty and folded up, it was too high for the rear hatch in my Porsche Macan to open without first bending the Sherpa down . So, I could never enter the rear of the SUV without always moving the rack. This was so annoying that I decided to change to a Saris SUPERCLAMP EX 2-BIKE, which had been my 2nd choice. I returned the Kuat, paying the shipping and a 20% restocking fee, and received and installed the Saris within 3 days. This was about a month ago. The service and support from etrailer.com on this change was fast, courteous and reasonable in price. The Saris is not as sturdy feeling as the Kuat and tips a little when tightening the wheel holders (i.e., pushing down on the wheel holders) due to the torque put on the hitch. But the Saris is plenty sturdy enough, and I have used it to transport my Cannondale Synapse on multiple trips in 1 month, all of duration 30-60 minutes. The Saris is easy to load and unload and keeps the bike very secure even at 70+ mph. And, the Saris folds up much more compactly to allow opening the Macan’s tailgate without first bending the rack down. This is a terrific advantage over the Kuat and makes me very happy that I made the change. I strongly recommend the Saris SUPERCLAMP EX 2-BIKE and etrailer.com, which provided excellent pricing, service and support on all 3 purchases. 541470

Easy installation. Seemed like most of it was already assembled just coming out of the box. After installation I put my 29er and Trek road bike on it. Like others before me, it seemed that another 12-15" of length on the bike cable locks would be handy. Being able to lock the front and rear wheels in addition to the frame with the cable locks would make a great rack even better. I was very satisfied with the carrier construction quality and ease of operation. Liked being able to use two hooks for each bike. I would definitely recommend this rack. etrailer shipped very promptly as always and were very helpful with dimensional information regarding hitch set backs to make sure adequate clearance was available to fold various racks up when not transporting bikes. 517248

- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 BMW X3For bikes that heavy I would not recommend a trunk mounted bike rack for your brand new 2018 BMW X3.

Out of the Saris, I recommend the Saris Freedom Superclamp EX, part # SA4025F. This is an incredibly versatile rack that mounts to the wheel of the bike, rather than the frame,...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation to Carry Trek Verve 3 E-BikesFor E-bikes with fenders the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F is not the best choice since it grabs the bikes by the tire where a fender normally is. Especially with a bike that has such a long rear fender like the Trek Verve 3 electric bikes you have. Instead the best choice is the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 as it uses a frame clamp design instead which won't interfere with the fenders at all. This has the weight capacity you'd need and also has a really convenient...
view full answer... - Wheel-Mount 2-Bike Platform Rack for Class 1 Hitch on 2006 Toyota Prius The Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F will fit 2-inch (Class III) hitches and also 1-1/4-inch (Class II) hitches but it will NOT fit a Class I hitch even though it is the same 1-1/4-inch size. The reason is that Class I hitches usually have a welded-in stop to prevent use of any accessory that is not rated as Class I. This helps to avoid accidental overloading of the hitch. You are absolutely right that there are heavier racks like the Thule EasyFold # TH903202 that...
view full answer... - Best Lightweight Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2 BikesFor what you are looking for I would recommend the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. It's a platform style bike rack that will fit your 2 inch hitch, it's super lightweight for a platform rack at 30 lbs, and it will only contact your bikes by grabbing them at the tires. Check out the review video for this rack I attached as well.
view full answer... - Saris Freedom SuperClamp 2-Bike Recommendation for a 2016 Subaru Forester for Recumbent BikeThe Cruzbike FreeRider is a very interesting recumbent bike. But it could be carried by a wheel mounted bike rack like the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX bike rack part # SA4025F. I looked up pictures of it and this is basically the only style rack that could work with it. Normally it is pretty hard to get bike racks to fit the OEM hitches of the 2016 Subaru Forester, but the Saris has a shallower shank than normal, it has a better chance of fitting the OEM hitch.
view full answer... - Does Saris Freedom Superclamp Have Speed LimitNormally we recommend with our hitch bike racks like the part # SA4025F should not ever exceed the posted speed limit. Which in most cases 70 mph is the highest speed limit you'd see. So basically I can't really recommend you exceed 70 mph with this rack or any of the other racks we carry in order to protect other motorists as well as your bikes.
view full answer... - What are the Dimensions of the Saris Freedom SuperClamp Bike Carrier When Folded UpI went out to our demo area to take the overall measurements of the Saris Freedom SuperClamp bike rack # SA4025F when folded up. Side to side it measure approximately 48 inches. Front to back it measures approximately 30 inches. And from the bottom of the shank to the top of the folded arms it measures approximately 15 inches. You should be able to get it in the boot (trunk) of your 2007 VW Jetta without much effort.

- Can the Saris Freedom SuperClamp Hold a 20 Inch Kids Bike and Adult Bike Side by SideThe hooks on the Saris Freedom SuperClamp bike rack # SA4025F are on different tracks, though they are on the same arm, so that they do not interfere with each other and so that you can have different sized bikes loaded next to each other. Take a look at the picture I have included showing the different tracks for the hooks. The arms the hooks slide up and down on can only pivot so far so you would need to slide the wheel trays appropriately so that the arm is in a good position for...

- Best Bike Rack for a Womans and Childs Bike on a 2012 Volvo XC60I went out to our test fit garage and tried out a few racks with one of our childs' bikes with fenders and a women's step through mountain bike to see if we had a good fit. In testing the Saris racks like the Freedom Super Clamp, part # SA4025F, the trouble I came across was that the child's bike (A 12-inch wheel bike with 24 inch wheelbase) was a little too short for the Saris' mounting devices to reach. This means that the bike would be riding freely in the cradles and have a chance...

- Will Adding a Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Affect Gas Mileage on a 2018 Hyundai IoniqDraw-Tite trailer hitch # 24963 weighs all of 20 pounds. The Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX # SA4025F weighs 35 pounds. So you could place 55 pounds in your 2018 Hyundai Ioniq's storage area and see if that affects mileage. I believe that it would have a minimal impact if it is even measureable in the short term. The only other option for carrying bikes with this vehicle would be a roof rack and that will definitely affect the mileage. There are lighter bike racks you could use. The...
view full answer... - Differences Between the Saris Freedom SuperClamp and the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EXThe Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX, part # SA4025F is the upgraded version of the existing Saris Freedom Superclamp. This rack is a SuperClamp, using a wheel clamping system instead of a frame clamp. Based on consumer feedback, the Saris Freedom Superclamp EX integrates several of the accessory parts that originally were not included in the SuperClamp's initial offering. Specifically, it adds integrated bike and hitch lock features, plus an upgraded weight capacity.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTIFor your 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI the best hitch option we have is the Draw Tite part # 24925 that I would recommend. The reason I recommend this hitch is because unlike the Curt equivalent it does not require a stabilizer when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. For a bike rack I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F for your application. It fits the Draw Tite hitch well, is very lightweight, and since it only touches the bikes at the tires it won't damage...
