Pivoting Upright Arms with Ratcheting Hooks
The SuperClamp has pivoting upright arms with ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheels - not the frames. These hooks allow you to rapidly load and unload your bikes, and they won't scratch or scuff your bike paint.
The hooks adjust independently - just press the gray button to slide them up or down.
Adjustable Wheel Trays
The wheel trays slide along the rack's horizontal arms to accommodate bikes with different wheelbases. These trays secure in place with twist knobs.
Ratchet straps secure your bike's rear wheel to the tray. If you want to carry a fat bike with tires wider than 4-1/2", you can replace the wheel trays with fat bike cradles (SA4419 - sold separately).
Front-Mounted Release Lever for Easy Tilting
The front-mounted release lever 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 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.
Complete Security
Included locks 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.
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. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key.

This bike rack is a tremendous value. Cheaper and just as good as comparable racks that cost twice as much. The rack has performed superbly. One caution: the manufacturer’s packaging is poorly designed, and insufficient to safely ship a 60+ pound bike rack. The steel parts of the rack shifted during transit and broke several molded plastic components. Saris’ customer service folks were excellent, and promptly sent replacements for the components that were broken in transit. The improper packaging was not etrailer’s fault. Saris should reengineer their packaging for this item.

Easiest bike rack I’ve ever assembled and I’ve had MANY. Being made in the US was a huge selling point for me. Highly recommend, so done with the other big brands.
by: Jahziel09/04/2023
Excellent product! It is easy to install and easy to secure your bicycles. I couldn't ask for a better product. The only thing was that the securing cables were jammed, but I could loosen them. Now, my and I can enjoy every weekend together and ride our bikes!
by: Brad07/01/2022
Delivered as expected with no visible damage to the bike carrier.
We were already aware of this Saris carrier as my wife got a new E-bike. etrailer was $[XX] less than the bike shop. It arrived and within 45 minutes we were on the road going to pick up the new bike. Easy assembly. Taking it out on a long trip tomorrow. Looks like a solid investment.
by: Hena08/22/2020
This is great bike rack. It arrived fast and just in time for our trip in mid July. My husband and I put it together quickly, we looked at a [online] video for how to put it together and went by the instructions booklets. It took us under an hour to put it together. It is very simple to load and unload bikes on it and the bikes stayed stable throughout our 600 mile trip and back. So overall, I am very satisfied with this bike rack. Will now see how it holds up with time.
by: Sean S.04/29/2018
This is a very solid setup. I've taken it on two local trips and one longer 4 hour trip including highways, narrow curvy mountain roads and so on. Never did the setup wobble. Also a comment about the legendary Saris warranty. One of the arms had a ratchet mechanism that wasn't working. I contacted Saris and within a week they shipped out a replacement.
The swing down mechanism works well, but I would make sure to have a second set of hands available if you are planning to lower it out of the way with bikes already loaded. Without bikes loaded it is a snap.
At the end of the day the best review is that my dear wife provided. "I am so happy you won't complain about taking the bikes to the beach now!". It really is so much easier than roof carrying bikes. Honestly in 15 minutes I can have the rack mounted and all four bikes loaded and secured which is so much easier and faster than roof carrying.

Rack is very well made. The tilt is very helpful for access to the back of your vehicle. I use an additional stabilizer around my hitch. Just be warned - it is heavy
by: Chuck R.04/23/2018
I throughly researched platform bike racks on etrailer.com. I thought I wanted a 4 bike rack that could be reduced to a 2 bike, bike rack. I ended up purchasing a Saris Freedom Superclamp EX 4 rack. This rack doesn't transition to a 2 person but it's so compact that when it's folded up I can't see it through my rearview window. It assembles easy and is very sturdy and easy to use. I never give anything 5 stars but I'm pleased as punch with this bike rack.
A shoutout to etrailer - What a great website, everything you need to evaluate any rack is on this website. WELL DONE...
by: JeffM07/25/2019
Great rack: This holds the bikes more securely than any other rack out there. Light weight, and folds up small. 4 bikes seem to fit better on this rack, compared to Thule or kuat - with minimal interference. Only issue seems to be that the plastic wheel trays break easily. Keep their bolts tight.
by: David 09/12/2021
Glad to give 5 Stars, however, do have one issue. The fasteners for the tires have a plastic top with a bolt that goes to a nut. Have lost two nuts as they have vibrated off. Shoukd consider gluing the bolts to the underside sleeve so they cannot vibrate and fall off. If you have two of those bolts you could send a brother, that would be awesome.
by: Mikel 01/14/2022
Unusually heavy, but super sturdy. The built in bike lock is game changing, gives some peace of mind when making unexpected stops. Bikes go on easy and come off easy. The only downside is that lifting the rack down and back up with bikes loaded is heavy, a spring aided system would have been nice to have.
by: Danaya03/04/2019
This is a great bike rack for those who need room for 4 bikes but don't want to stick 10 feet out the back. Really easy assembly, excellent operation, and seamless (and quick!) free delivery. Great experience.
by: Jason 08/25/2022
Great product. Expensive but well worth the cost. My only complaint would be that it's heavy to fold. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.
by: Alex 07/06/2020
It was easy to put together! I've mounted 4 different bikes of all sizes and they fit great. I have not had the chance to drive long distances yet, but everything seems perfect at this point!
by: Nikolas11/01/2020
This is a beefy platform rack. Assembly is easy and the directions are clear and simple. It is a heavy rack but that is expected for a 4 bike setup. The tilt and fold is easy to use.
by: Wayne06/07/2022
Great product well built. A little heavy to move around.

At the age of 70, I needed a “friendlier” mounting and bike access rack. A platform rack seemed to be the solution. I had one caveat. My Subaru Forester had a 1and 1/4” receiver (with a non-standard 3/4” length mounting hole). My Volvo had a tuck away 2” receiver. After some research I gravitated toward Thule only to find out they had no solution for my above conundrum. In fact their customer service offered no interest in solving my problem which others also must have had. More research…enter Saris! An American made company with an innovative solution. I quickly received my SuperClamp EX-2 from ETrailer along with excellent customer service support. The ease of constructing the unit for use and the obvious structural integrity was immediately apparent. My wife couldn’t believe how easy it was to use and to stow away on my garage wall after use. Thank you Saris and ETrailer for a wonderful product and experience. I guess American made is still alive and well. I highly recommend this product and the associated companies.
by: Ron07/02/2023
Purchased this bike rack last year and am very pleased with the stability of the rack. The straps and clamps secure the bike well to the rack. Some things that I learned:
When attaching the rack onto your hitch, it helps to put a piece of tape on the rack (hitchtite) once you have lined up the holes. This will make it easier to find the exact location of the holes the next time that you want to use the rack. Finding the exact location allows you to smoothly hand tighten the bolt to the end of the hitch. At that point, just use a socket wrench to finish the tightening.
When putting the bike on the rack, I loosely secure the clamps to the tires at first. This allows me to rotate the tires to find the right location in the wheel well for the straps to go around the spokes. I next secure the bike with the straps and then fininsh securing the clamps to the tires.

I have owned another version of the Saris bike rack and decided to upgrade to this version. We upgraded to this version so we could carry either our bikes or ebikes. Very pleased with the carrier.

- Fit of Saris Freedom Superclamp EX # SA4026F on 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ Factory Spare TireYou'll need to take a measurement from your hitch pin hole rearward until the rear edge of the spare tire is cleared, as shown in the help article I've linked to. If your measurement is less than 5-1/4 inches, the Saris Freedom Superclamp EX, part # SA4026F will fit when folded into the storage position. If the measurement is greater than 5-1/4 inches, but less than 14 inches, the rack will fit when unfolded, but won't have the clearance to fold into the storage position. I've linked...

If you load your Electra Townie Go there it will work well as it would be under capacity. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Hitch for 2008 Subaru Outback LL Bean and Saris Superclamp 4 RecommendationFor your 2008 Subaru Outback I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75560 as it has been confirmed as a fit and is a 2 inch hitch like you would need for carrying the Saris Superclamp 4 # SA4026F that you are interested in. I attached review videos for both products I mentioned.
view full answer... - Saris Freedom SuperClamp 4 Bike Platform Rack RecommendationHonestly, the Saris Freedom SuperClamp 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4026F most likely would secure your bikes just fine without using the wheel straps. However, Saris recommends you use the wheel straps so I can't recommend you deviate from their instructions. Using the straps will help position the bike onto the wheel trays for when you are securing the wheel hooks. Racks like this are great because don't contact the frame of the bike at all to secure it. This is especially nice when transporting...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX Be Able to Accommodate 4 Full Size Mountain BikesThe Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX # SA4026F is a great bike rack that can accommodate almost any bike since it is a wheel mount bike rack. As long as your bikes are within the specs for the SuperClamp then you will have no problem fitting 4 mountain bikes on it. The weight capacity for the 2 inner positions is 60 lbs per bike and the weight capacity for the 2 outer positions is 35 lbs per bike. The max wheelbase that the SuperClamp will hold is 48 inches with a max tire width of 4-1/2 inches....
view full answer... - Will 20 inch and 26 inch Bikes Both Fit on Saris SuperClamp EX 4-Bike RackYes, you can definitely fit all of your bikes on the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4026F. This bike rack only requires you to have 3 points of contact to securely hold the bike, and the rack gives you 2 ratcheting hooks and a ratchet strap on both wheel cradles to accomplish this. This means that for scenarios where you have bikes with different frame designs you can actually just use the 2 straps and 1 hook on each bike so they can be offset enough for this to happen. I...
view full answer... - Saris Freedom Superclamp 4 SA4026 vs SA4026F EX ComparisonBiggest difference is the part # SA4026F has redesigned wheel trays and a few different aesthetic changes like noticeably less yellow. The new trays fit tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide whereas the older # SA4026 only fits tire widths up to 3 inch.
view full answer... - 4 Bike Platform Rack Recommendation that is Lighter Weight4 bike platform racks are generally pretty heavy but there is one rack that's not too terrible when it comes to that. The Saris Freedom SuperClamp # SA4026F is one of the nicest platform 4-bike racks and weighs in at 63 lbs. Which is roughly 30-40 lbs lighter than most similar platform bike racks. This rack also only touches the bikes at the tires which means it protects the finish and frame of the bikes too.
view full answer... - Will 4 Beach Cruisers Fit on the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX Platform Rack # SA4026FI spoke with my contact at Saris and the Freedom SuperClamp EX Platform Rack, # SA4026F, is a great choice for your beach cruisers. Since this rack offers the ratcheting, padded hooks to firmly grip your bikes by the wheels, and your bikes don't have fenders, loading and securing the bikes should be a breeze. Please do keep in mind the weight capacity of the rack when loading your bikes. The two outer positions of the rack have a 35 pound per bike capacity where as the inner positions...

I called my contact at Saris and they said the 14-inch wheel diameter you mentioned should be no problem. This carrier includes a hitch lock and a steel cable lock to secure the bikes to the carrier. The carrier tilts away from the vehicle even when the bikes are loaded for easy rear cargo access. This carrier also has a 2-inch rise in the shank for more ground clearance. The weight capacity for this carrier...
view full answer... - What Is The Thickness Of The Rectangular Metal Bars On Saris SuperClamp Ex 4-Bike Carrier?My contact at Saris was able to confirm that the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4026F has two 1" wide upright bars attached together for the J hooks to move up and down on independently. The frame bar running parallel to the bike measures 1.5" wide and 3" tall. I attached a demonstration video for you.
view full answer... - 3 Bike Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 20 inch Kids Bike Wheel Size and 29 inch Frame BikeThe Saris Freedom part # SA4026F would be a great option. It is a platform bike rack that only touches the bikes at the tires, holds three bikes, and can fit your wheel sizes.
view full answer... - Availability of 4 Bike Rack that Doesnt Touch Bike Frames and Can TiltFor a bike rack that only touches the bikes at the tire with no frame contact at all you would need to go with a wheel mount platform bike rack. The Saris Freedom SuperClamp part # SA4026F would be a great option for this as it can hold 4 bikes while only touching the tire. It can tilt with all 4 bikes loaded to so it would give you some tailgate access but possibly not allow you to lower it all the way.

- Does the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Rack Work with a Retractable Hitch on a 2023 Volvo XC90 RechargeFrom what I could find on the retractable hitch on your 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge, it is a 2" hitch with a 500 lb. tongue weight capacity. As long as that is correct, then you should have no problem using the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Rack # SA4026F.

It provides a very stable attachment point that's in a location that's easy to load and unload. It's the best all around solution for carrying a bike rack. For a small 26 inch bike frame the easiest solution for a bike rack is a platform bike rack that has wheel cradles that can slide to accommodate various wheelbases. For that you'd want the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4026F because has that and because it's wheel cradles aren't larger...

Nothing we offer has 60 lb capacities for all 4 spots. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

We only recently started carrying Saris racks which is why you do not see a lot of information presently on our site. It is a newer rack in the Saris lineup coming on the heels of the regular Freedom rack # SA4414B.

view full answer... - Saris Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Bike with FendersI have a solution for you, but when a wheel mounted bike rack like the part # SA4026F that you referenced you cannot use the wheel mounts on the frame. A better solution for a bike with fenders is a frame mounted bike rack like the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B. This is a similar rack that should work well for your bike with fenders. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

So I am not 100 percent sure where you are measuring to get 6-3/4 inches. We measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear most part of the bumper. The Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX, # SA4026F, when folded up, measures 5-1/4 inches from the center of the pin hole to the nearest part...

A year later - the bike rack is still working great! So glad got this bike rack. We removed put it back in several times since purchasing it, and have used it for shorter trips after our initial 1,200 miles return trip. It proved excellent for the long trip as well as for the short weekend travels.
