Initially it was bought and will use only to carry bikes, best ever we had.

although the installation of the hitch was a pain, but that has nothing to do with my product. the helium pro 3 is amazing. easy to install, very light and I feel very safe carrying all three bikes on there while driving on the highways!!

What ’s to review? It ’s a bike rack! It holds stuff!

Rack fit mostly well on my bike, my only complaint is that the rubber gaskets supplied with the rack were n't able to be used so the rack slides down the seat pole. I ended up mounting a reflector under the bracket to keep it from moving down which worked.

Love the size. It folds up nice and small. Lightweight and looks very durable. Love how easy to attach to hitch. Appreciate all the built in locks.

[ If you haul bikes regularly, you know how quickly a “ simple ” rack can turn into a headache. The Thule OutPace makes that problem disappear. Sleek, solid, and thoughtfully designed, it gets your bikes from driveway to trailhead without the hassle. Compact and lightweight yet impressively capable, it feels like the perfect solution for riders who want security and stability without dealing with a bulky rack. I ’ ve tried a few hitch racks, and most either wobbled over time, were too heavy, or scuffed up my bikes. The OutPace is simple to use, easy to move and store, and solid no matter if I ’ m cruising pavement or bumping down a gravel road.

5 DM77
I just got this bike rack, and I ’ ve already put it to the test, and it ’s fantastic! It ’s super compact, easy to install, and absolutely sturdy. Putting the bike on or off is super easy, and the bike stays put perfectly. A great deal for the price!

5 ASleepDr
This rack is lightweight, compatible and easy to store. I like the option of 2 hitch sizes built in. Use once so far, on a 2 inch hitch. No significant issues. A bit of rattle with bikes secured. I can store it in the back of my vehicle with no issues.

5 Nwarner
[ The OutPace is super easy to use and feels really solid once it ’s set up. There ’s barely any wobble, even when you ’ re driving over rough roads, which is impressive. It ’s clearly built well and doesn ’ t take much effort to load or secure everything. I like that it folds up cleanly when not in use, too — small detail, but it makes a difference. The design feels really thought- out, and you can tell Thule paid attention to all the things that make using it simple day- to- day.

[ I ’ m extremely happy with this. Holds my 50 plus pd electric bike easy to load and unload. Rack is lightweight, easy enough for me to maneuver and it didn ’ t break the bank. Will be enjoying it for years to come!

5 Jim007
[ I purchased this bike rack because it would fit a 1- 1/4 inch hitch and it would carry two 60- lbs bikes. It was the best heavy- duty rack that I found at a decent price and with good reviews.

5 STPIndy
[ Got the rack earlier this summer. Used it several times to take our bikes out to some state parks. Rack is solid and keeps bikes secure. Loading bikes on the rack is quick and easy!

This is my second Saris SuperClamp I have purchased. I gave my first one to my son and daughter- in- law so they could transport their two bikes. What I love the most about this one is the tilt so you can get into your trunk as well as the fact that when you tilt it back in you have more space in the garage. Also like the addition of the wheel straps on this. I am 5' 1 '' so it is important that it is light weight and easy enough to handle. I put it together with no problems.

5 snugasa
This bike rack is easy to assemble and loading/unloading bikes is a breeze! The arms do not contact the frame at all... a great feature.

5 MWG1
[ This is my 2nd Superclamp. The first one was destroyed when someone rear ended me. The Superclamp absorbed the blow and saved my car! Two things I like most of that I can fold the rack up and still open the lift gate of my Grand Cherokee and it is easy for my wife to load and unload her bike. Great stable rack that is easy to use.

5 Jeff W
[ This was super easy to put together out of the box. Probably took about 10 or 15 minutes. It folds up out of the way when there's not bikes on it. We have an electric bike that's pretty heavy so I needed something hefty. I feel like this bike rack fits the bill.

5 enzymatic
[ Instillation was simple and quick as is securing the bikes. I used an aftermarket hitch stabilizer for some extra stability. Bikes feel secure in the rack. I took a heavy pedal assist and fairly light hybrid from NYC to Maine and back without issue. The pedal assist has front and back fenders but it was not an issue when securing the bike. I used the built in locks for front tires and my own heavy chains an locks for the bikes when I could n't bring them in and had no issues. It was tricky to find a rack for a 1. 25inch hitch that could solidly secure a heavy pedal assist with front and back fenders and I 'm happy the Saris does this with ease.

I received this bar today and had it assembled in 15 minutes. I attached my J- bars and mounted everything on my Ford Escape within minutes. The suction cups work great and the strap is easy to tighten and holds solid. This bar is very adjustable for any vehicle without a factory luggage rack! I love it!

Frequently Asked Questions For Lightweight Bike Racks

Lightweight bike racks offer several advantages, including easier installation and removal, enhanced portability, and reduced strain on your vehicle. They are ideal for casual cyclists or those who need to transport their bikes occasionally. Additionally, a lightweight design often means less bulk, making it easier to store when not in use.

Lightweight bike racks are typically made from materials such as aluminum or high-strength plastic, which provide a good balance of durability and weight. These materials help ensure that the rack can support your bike securely while remaining easy to handle. Some models may also incorporate composite materials for added strength without increasing weight.

While lightweight bike racks can accommodate a variety of bike styles, it's essential to check the weight capacity and compatibility of the rack with your specific bike type. Many lightweight racks are designed for standard road and mountain bikes, but may not support heavier models or those with unique frame designs. Always verify the specifications to ensure a proper fit.

Lightweight bike racks are designed to be durable despite their reduced weight, often utilizing high-quality materials that can withstand regular use. However, heavier models may offer additional stability and support for larger or heavier bikes. It's important to consider your specific needs and the intended use when choosing between lightweight and heavier options.

Yes, many lightweight bike racks are suitable for long-distance travel, provided they are rated for the weight and type of bikes being transported. It's crucial to ensure that the rack is securely attached and that the bikes are properly secured to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, consider factors such as wind resistance and potential wear on the rack over extended trips.
