Saris SuperClamp EX 4 VS. Kuat NV 2.0

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 honda pilot and am looking for a bike rack for my 4 mountain bikes 2 adult, 1 10yr old size, 1 8 year old size. I think the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2 Hitches - Wheel Mount - Tilting. Do you have others I should review before purchasing? I know having 4 mountain bikes can be a pain as the handle bars all align, is there another rack that would be better?

I've used the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 # SA4026F and it's not my first choice, but it still is a good rack. If you're wanting a rack that I would choose over the Saris, I would go with the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B. I like the way it looks more than the Saris option but the Kuat also has different colors. There is gray # NV22G-NA22G and metallic black # NV22B-NA22B. It has all the features that the Saris has but gives color options and overall is a better looking rack.

Both are great options but I just prefer the Kuat over the Saris but both will get the job done. The Saris is the more cost effective option.

Answer 9

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
