Will the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Work to Carry 2 Adult Bikes with 2 Kids Bikes with 20" and 24" Wheels
Question:
Hello, I finally decided to go with a 2 hitch on my Subaru Outback 2019 Curt C13410 and looking to lock on a 4 bike rack. I saw the 2019 outback has a max tongue of 200 lbs. We have 2 adult bikes and 2 kid bikes 20-24. 20 bike would be reality the next 2-3 years. I was looking at Thule, Kuat, Yakima and Saris platform racks as I was thinking about safety, durability and ease of loading/unloading bikes. I was worried about the weight with of the Thule, Kuat platforms though I may change the car in 2-3 years... and looked at the Saris which looks more compact. However I was reading that it has some issues with 20 bikes when paired with bigger bikes... Interested would you recommend in my case?

As long as you keep the two children's bikes on the outer platform and paired together, you won't have any issues using the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 # SA4026F. The SuperClamp allows you to adjust the wheel holders independently, so it really provides you with a lot of flexibility in the sizes of bikes that you can carry as long as you're loading them in the correct formation. The platform setup also makes the bikes easy to load and unload, and the lifetime warranty offered by Saris reflects the quality and durability of this rack.
The Saris SuperClamp EX will fit on the 2" hitch receiver of the Curt # C13410 that you've decided on as well. I think Saris racks are kind of the hidden gem of the bike rack industry, because they're great looking and very well made. Saris is pretty much the pioneer when it comes to vehicle bike racks and I think this is a great solution for your family.
