Pivoting Upright Arms with Adjustable Bridges
The MHS has pivoting upright arms that grab your bike firmly by the wheel, so it won't scratch or scuff the paint. These upright arms allow you to rapidly load and unload your bike. Simply set your bike onto the tray and pivot the upright arms against the tires. Ratchets hold the arms in place, so once you squeeze the arms against the wheels there's nothing left to do. To unload your bike, press in the gray lever on each arm to release the ratchets and raise the arms up.
Each arm has a bridge that is pre-marked for various bike tire sizes to ensure a perfect fit. To adjust, slide the bridge to the indicated tire size, and re-insert the pin.
Grooved Wheel Tray
The MHS doesn't have cradles for the wheels like many platform-style bike racks have. Instead, it has a wheel tray with a groove that accommodates narrow 18c road bike tires up to 5.0" fat bike tires. A wheel chock at the front of the tray prevents your bike from rolling, and a sliding ratchet strap on each tray adds extra security so your rear wheel doesn't bounce while you're driving.
Front-Mounted Handle for Easy Tilting and Folding
The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the MHS's release lever is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bikes with one hand to reach the lever, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
Complete Security
The rack includes a threaded hitch pin that serves as an anti-wobble device to eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. A lock on the hitch pin secures the rack to your vehicle. It also includes an integrated cable lock that threads around your bikes' frame and inserts into the lock that slides along the cable. The cable stores inside the wheel tray when not in use. The locks are keyed alike so you only need to use 1 key.
The rack works with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. To use it in a 1-1/4" hitch, simply remove the adapter with the included Allen key.

This racks holds my bike tightly, it's not coming off. I will also hold bikes with linger wheelbases or E-bikes that are heaver. One thing that I don't like is that is on the heavy side.

- What is the Distance From the Hitch Pin Hole to the Top of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 BikeThe highest part of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR when folded is the handle of the Saris MHS Platform Rack Base # SAR38MR.

- What is Weight of Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MRThe total weight of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR that you referenced is right at 42 lbs.
view full answer... - Do The Arms For The Saris MHS Bike Rack # SAR23MR Fold Flat or to the Ground? Yes, the arms of the Saris MHS Bike Rack # SAR23MR will fold all the way to the ground. I have included a video review linked below which you can see both arms down when unloading a bike at 7:45 into the video.
view full answer... - Is There a Bike Rack That Can Accommodate a Stand-Up Bike with a 54" Wheel BaseWe do not have an Inno single bike rack that can accommodate the 54" wheel base of your stand-up bike, none of the Inno racks that we have carry anything over a 48" wheel base. I do not know specifically what brand/style of stand-up bike that you have, but most of the models that I have seen will require that you use a platform rack with a wheel mount style. This is because there is no seat post to use an adapter for a hanging style or frame mount style. The closest that we have is the...
view full answer... - Weight And Length Of the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike Hi Tom, The Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR weighs approximately 67lbs and has an 80lb bike capacity. The overall length from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point on the rack is approximately 27". If you need any other info just let me know and I'd be happy to help.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Options for E-Bike with FendersAs long as the fenders on your e-bike are shorter the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR that you referenced would be your best option for a single bike rack. The wheel clamps don't go up quite as high on the tires so they can work with some fender setups. If you have larger fenders your best option would be the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is a 2 bike rack. It uses a frame clamp design so your fenders won't interfere, folds up and is really easy to install and remove,...
view full answer... - Single Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Bike with Short FenderFor your bike that has a short fender the best single bike rack solution would be the Saris MHS Bike Rack part # SAR23MR which holds the tires further out from the RockyMounts you referenced as well as other options. Most of the time tire mounted bike racks can't be used with fenders but this Saris is a rare exception to that and is an overall really nice and solid rack that I would recommend highly for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Locking Bike Rack For A Wicked Thumb Destroyer E-BikeThe strongest bike rack we carry is the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider # HLY84FR which is capable of holding two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs apiece. It is a rack for two bikes, but it will be stronger, and more suited for a bike like yours. It can accommodate tires up to 5" wide, and a wheelbase of up to 60". The rack is fully lockable with a hitch lock, locking hook arm and cable lock. I feel that this rack will work very nicely for your Wicked Thumb Destroyer E-bike, provided the wheelbase...
view full answer... - Single Bike Rack for E-Bike on Winnebago RialtaI'm assuming you're looking for a hitch mounted bike rack. The only single bike rack rated for the rear of your Winnebago Rialta is the Saris MHS DUO # SAR23MR. However, this may not have a high enough capacity for your e-bike at 40 lbs. A better option would be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR. This can hold 2 bikes at 80 lbs each and can handle tires up to 5" wide so your typical e-bike won't have a problem fitting. It also comes with a keyed-alike...

For a great rack that fits your needs, I recommend the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # SAR23MR.

view full answer... - Recommended Single Bike Rack for a Tern HSD P9 Bike With FendersJust looking at your Tern HSD bike with fenders, I'm going to say no the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike # SAR23MR is not going to work. I did some research and it looks like a lot of Tern owner's went with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR and had success, but seeing as though you only need to move one bike the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike # RKY87RR is what I'd go for. This rack has a nice 60 lb capacity so it'd easily be...
