IT’S OUR PASSION

Saris Cycling Group is committed to giving you the ultimate cycling experience, every time you hit the road, path or trail. That’s why we invent, build and support the kinds of products you’ll find in this catalog. But along with that commitment comes a responsibility to give back to the communities we love. Whether it’s by helping groups that promote cycling in all its forms, or raising money for children who need it and other social causes, we believe that cycling can change things for the better. Because that’s where its real power lies.

“Bringing THE POWER OF cycling to life” is not just our business.

Creating the best racks for the rear of the car.Loading your bike on your car means two choices: haul it up to the roof, or place it on the rear. And while either way may get you where you’re going, there are some pretty good reasons why Saris opted to focus on racks that sit behind you instead of above you.

4. Sticking with what works.We used to make roof racks just like everyone else. But the more we looked at it, the rear of the car just made more sense. So the next step was really a no-brainer: Commit to creating the best racks for the best place to put your bike. The rest is history.

5. Simply designed to last. Guaranteed.™No matter where you put it, a Saris rack is designed to mount more easily, last longer and keep your bikes safer than anything else out there. It’s why we back each product we make with a lifetime guarantee.

6. Racks that work as good as they look.We’re proud of the fact that Saris racks are made in the USA. But we’re just as proud that many of the designs – including our award-winning Bones™ – came from the mind of famed Italian product designer Fabio Pedrini. His vision and creativity are the keys to creating racks that are both simply beautiful and amaz-ingly functional.

FABIO PEDRINIproduct designer – since 1990

Passion, Italian Style. An early love of many things especially sports fed his creativity. From soccer to sculpture his childhood was full of adventures and art.

1. Out of sight, out of mindSetting your bike on a roof rack can lead to some interesting “you’ll never believe what happened” moments. From drive-throughs and tree branches to your own garage, a moment of forgetfulness can do a real number on both car and bike. By focusing on products that sit behind you we ensure that your bike stays in your sightline. And when you’re away from your car, a variety of locking options make sure your bike is still there when you get back.

2. Pump less, ride moreIt’s a fact that mounting accessories on your car’s exterior impacts your gas mileage. Nowhere is this more true than your car’s roof, where even the sleekest design adds drag. Staying on the rear, closer to your vehicle’s aerodynamic profi le, means less impact on your fuel economy. And as the price of gas creeps back up, a few gallons saved could mean more money for gear or components.

3. Stay fl exibleAs if mounting a roof rack system wasn’t hard enough, just try trans-ferring it to a different vehicle – if it's even possible. Rear racks move easily from one trunk or hitch to another, leaving you more time to ride.

If these reasons aren’t enough to get you off the roof, here are a few more: WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.


HITCH RACKS

Convenience. From the box to the bike path.On the hitch without a glitch.

Choosing one of the award-winning hitch racks from Saris is the easiest way to haul bikes from point A to point B. Featuring some of the most innovative designs in the industry—including Thelma and the all-new T-Bones—Saris hitch racks go on easy, stay on securely, and deliver the kind of accessibility that roof systems can only dream of.

In between, it folds up to fit in the T-Bones transport bag so you can transition between your home and vehicle with ease. Try getting that kind of 24/7 service from your current rack system.

A Cycle-On rack is virtually hands-free: place it on your hitch, set your bikes in the easy-to-reach wheel trays, then secure your bikes using the convenient ratcheting arms and wheel clamps. All that’s left is to fi gure what to do with all that extra free time. (Here’s a hint: ride longer.)

BONES RSThe knock on trunk racks has always been the straps. So we eliminated them. You’ve been asking for a trunk rack that is a clean and simple as it is reliable. A rack that can carry a road bike on a mini-van one day, and a hybrid on a sedan the next. What our engineers delivered is the first "set it and forget it" trunk rack. A pair of steel-belted bands and two ratchets is all it takes to create a stable, secure fit on a variety of vehicles. And because it holds and secures bikes both big and small, it's the simple choice for anyone who loves to ride.

No straps? No problem.

BONESA Saris Bones rear rack is one of the few things in life that's both hard working and drop-dead gorgeous. When we created Bones—with renowned designer Fabio Pedrini—we set out to give you more than a styl-ish alternative to roof racks. We wanted a stable, secure ride for up to three bikes. A system that mounts quickly to almost any vehicle make and model, from coupes to mini-vans—even when there’s a rear spoiler involved. And that lets you save your energy for the road or trail.
