First-ever dual-hook no-contact hitch rack, made in USA
Last reviewed: April 2026
At a glance
Why this product
The dual-hook no-contact design is unique to Saris — it holds bikes without touching the frame, at only 25 lbs. That is remarkably light for a full-featured platform rack. E-bike capable at 60 lbs per bike, tilt-away, integrated locks, carbon-frame-safe, made in USA. Tool-free install rounds out a strong feature set. I recommend this to buyers who want platform-rack protection at a weight that makes regular installation and removal practical.

The Saris Freedom was the first rack with both front AND rear wheel hooks — eliminating frame contact entirely. Made in USA quality shows in every detail. The dual-hook system takes a few tries to master but becomes second nature. RV-compatible for travel trailer use.
Carbon frame bike owners who demand zero frame contact, RV travelers, quality-focused buyers who value Made in USA
Quick-loading seekers — the dual-hook system takes slightly longer than single-arm designs
The Freedom pioneered the no-contact concept and still does it exceptionally well. A quiet classic.
