[ 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.

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!

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.

[ 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 bought this two weeks ago, and it is a great bike rack. The only reason I give it a 4 is that it is really heavy. Loading bikes is n't bad, but I wish the Locking curve piece swiveled. That would make it easier to load the bikes. I think it is very secure when bikes are on it. Almost forgot the second thing I dislike about it, is the Locking pin. It is n't a pin, its a screw bolt. You have to buy the malone locking pin if you want to lock the Locking pin. I have a 2023 Traverse and the Locking pin has to be just screwes in just perfect for me to get the lock part on, because if its screwed in to much I ca n't because it is to close to my electrical plug.

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.

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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

Awesome bike rack. When installing make sure that the two locks are on the top left and bottom right. Also, its critical that you tighten the screws as tight as they will go or the treys will be loose. If you follow instructions you will be very content.

We bought this rack two weeks ago and it arrived quickly with no issues less than a week later! We have already taken it on many mountain bike rides and are extremely happy with the purchase. It is very sturdy and easy to get the rack tight on the bikes which has been a bit challenging with other racks we have owned. We also have a boat, so taking this rack on and off easily was a concern for us. It is without a doubt the best rack we have found for that as well. It is worth the extra money to invest in this rack if you are an avid rider!

This rack is perfect. I could n't be happier. I also own a Vertex rack which is great for my bike but not for my wife's step through frame which is a pain to strap up. This solves that issue perfectly as it's held by the tires and not the top tube on the frame. It also eliminates the bikes banging together while traveling. One other thing I noticed is that I can see out of my rear view camera when backing up again as it's not blocked by the upright of the Vertex rack I had. I love that it does n't touch or scratch the frame when I bring my bike back dirty and probably the simplest installation I 've ever seen. My wife can toss her bike on quickly and easily. Nice touch with the integrated locks as well. Solid while driving and folds up nicely when not in use. Well done guys.

Functionally a little easier than the T2 Pro XT, but quality and looks are a little better to me. Also looks very clean which is important to me. Wish it came in black, but being aluminum I can ’ t imagine it ’s feasible knowing what happens to anodized parts in the sun.

Additionally, many platform racks are designed to accommodate various bike styles, including fat bikes and mountain bikes, ensuring versatility for different cycling needs.
Platform bike racks differ from traditional racks primarily in their design and loading mechanism. While traditional racks often require lifting bikes onto a frame, platform racks allow bikes to sit on a flat surface, providing easier access and stability. This design also often results in better weight distribution and reduced sway during transport.
Platform bike racks are designed to fit a variety of vehicles, including cars, SUVs, and trucks, depending on the hitch size and weight capacity. It's important to check the specifications of both the rack and your vehicle to ensure compatibility. Many platform racks come with adjustable features to accommodate different hitch sizes and vehicle styles.

Always check the specifications of the rack to confirm its compatibility with your specific bikes.
When choosing a platform bike rack, consider factors such as the number of bikes you need to transport, the weight capacity of the rack, and the compatibility with your vehicle's hitch. Additionally, look for features like ease of loading and unloading, security options, and whether the rack allows for access to the vehicle's trunk or tailgate while bikes are loaded.
Most platform bike racks are designed for easy installation and removal, often featuring a straightforward hitch mechanism. Many models include quick-release levers or knobs that allow for fast setup without the need for additional tools. However, it's always advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation to ensure safety and stability during use.
