Saris SuperClamp EX 2-Bike and Freedom EX 2-Bike
With its robust construction, eye-catching style and compact design that carries both bikes on a single bar, the SuperClamp is your bike’s new BFF. This lightweight – yet mighty – platform hitch rack is ready to hit the road at a moment’s notice. Whether you’re hauling eBikes, beefy mountain bikes, your prized TT rig, or an assortment of bicycles, the SuperClamp’s dual shepherd’s hooks promise all bikes a truly secure ride without touching the frame.
And thanks to the SuperClamp’s tilting feature, no more unloading bikes to let the dog out of the back. Simply tilt down and release the hounds. Top it all off with integrated locks, a built-in bottle opener and head-turning reflectors, and the SuperClamp 2-bike is proof that you can have your cake and eat it too.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
World-famous boxer Muhammad Ali may not have thought his famous saying would apply to a bike rack, but trust us – this platform rack packs a punch. Weighing in at a feathery 24 pounds, the Freedom EX can securely carry two bikes, up to 60 pounds each, and accommodates bikes with tires up to 4 inches wide.
How’d Saris pull that off? No sucker punches here. It all comes down to the sturdy, Midwest-made raw materials built on a single bar.
