Review: Highly Versatile - We recently purchased a 53 lb "commuter" ebike with a step through frame and fenders. Our existing rack can not carry such a bike so I went looking for a new one. I have many requirements. 1. Support for both a 1.25" and 2" hitches (I have vehicles with both) 2. Support for the e-bike with the weight, step through frame and fenders being notable challenges 3. Support for carbon fiber frames 4. Support for a few other bikes I have I spent hours doing research and was nearly convinced that a rack that could do everything I wanted did not exist. Then I ran across this Saris. I'm happy to say that everything on my wishlist is fulfilled! Of course no rack is perfect and this one has its own pros and cons: Pros: 1. Sturdy. Loaded up with the ebike and another bike, this rack is solid. There is some axial movement when going over bumps but it's not worrying to me. 2. Bikes are held very securely but also gently. I really like the tire straps and the fact that most of the bikes weight is supported by it's tires. The holders are nicely designed and interface the bike with soft surfaces. 3. Lightweight. At only 21 lbs, this rack is easy to install and carry around. My 1.25" hitch is only class 1 (100 lbs max weight) so the 21lbs avoids cutting too much into the weight budget for that hitch.. Cons: 1. Getting the heavy ebike into the (recommended) back position requires some strength. I fold down the center bar which helps a lot but still I'd say any bike being put in the back position will need to be held at chest height for 30 seconds to a minute or more. 2. It was quite a puzzle getting everything to fit the first time. The tire holders need to be slid into the best positions and the center support is too short to reach the horizontal bar of my road bike. The tire holders are also a bit close to the center bar and to each other, meaning that there are possible interference issues with the center bar and the bikes. I was able to puzzle through it all and have a satisfactory solution. Now that everything is where I decided to put it, the bikes go on very quickly. 3. The shape of the rack makes it a bit awkward to store. I put up some storage hooks that are getting the job done but I wouldn't call it a tidy package when off the car. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this rack. Review: Sturdy, secure and extremely easy to use - I am very happy with this product! It works great and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to safely transport their bicycle without worries of it shifting during the journey. ## Features - ACCOMMODATES UP TO 2 BIKES: Designed to transport two bicycles, each with a weight capacity of up to 60 lbs, making it suitable for various bike types. - UNIVERSAL BIKE COMPATIBILITY: Adjustable rubber holders and ratcheting straps secure a wide range of bike styles and sizes, including kids' bikes, step-thru frames, tri-bikes, and small recumbents. - FITS 1¼" AND 2" HITCH RECEIVERS: Compatible with both 1¼-inch and 2-inch hitch receivers, ensuring a secure and stable attachment to your vehicle. - COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: Weighing only 20 lbs, the rack is easy to install and handle, and folds up neatly against your vehicle when not in use, saving space. - SECURE RATCHETING STRAPS: Easy-to-adjust ratcheting straps keep bikes stable and secure during transit, providing peace of mind on every journey. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DMMCIMQ | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Brand | Saris | | Brand Name | Saris | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Minivan, SUV, Truck | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 415 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012527010073 | | Included Components | Rack | | Is Foldable | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 22 x 122 x 34 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Bike Rack | | Item Weight | 11.88 kg | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 22 x 122 x 34 centimeters | | Item weight | 11.88 kg | | Load Capacity | 6E+1 lbs per bike | | Manufacturer | Saris | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4412B | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 4412B | | Mounting Type | Hitch Mount,Strap Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | UPC | 012527010073 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | | Vehicle service type | Car, Minivan, SUV, Truck | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Saris - **Colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 22 x 122 x 34 centimeters - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Vehicle service type:** Car, Minivan, SUV, Truck ## Images ![Freedom Bike Rack and Spare Tire Compatible Rack, Universal Hitch, 2 or 4 Bicycle Carrier Options, Protective Rubber Holders, Adjustable to Bike Frame - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CQskljYsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will the saris freedom rack for 1.25" hitch hold 2 raleigh retroglide e-bikes? these have a 48" or less wheel base and weigh less than 55 lbs. each.** A: The Freedom 2-bike can carry 2 bikes up to 60 lbs each and up to 48" wheelbases so yes, your bikes will fit! Due to battery placement, some E-bikes may require a slightly longer ratchet strap for the downtube cradle assembly which can be found on Saris.com. **Q: can the outside wheel holders be removed if I am only carrying 1 bike?** A: The answer to your question is yes. I do have to tell you that this rack was absolutely horrible. The pin that holds the vertical bar doesn’t go completely through the hole, so if you hit some rough road it WILL pop out. This happened to me while we were on the highway in our RV. I looked at the rear camera and saw our bikes being dragged by their locking cable. Not to mention the sparks!! I litteraly took this so called rack and through it into a supermarket dumpster. We continued on our journey with the bikes in the hallway of the RV. It’s not worth the money you save compared to the better more expensive racks. Good luck **Q: Does this rack keep your 27.5 tire mountain bike pretry steady on turns amd bumps and speed on the freeway? I dont want to see my bike falling off.** A: Yes. I’ve had it fully load with 27.5 and 29er’s and gone over some rougher road to get to different biking place and up a few fire roads. Also had it well over the post speed limit on the freeway a few times. Never worried about my bike coming loose for falling off. Just make you have it on there correctly and go for an adventure! **Q: I have a rav4 and an audi a5. can the one of these racks be used for both cars with a trailer hitch? or can the freedom spare tire version also be** A: I would think so. I use it without any issues on my Honda Fit with the small receiver, and on my RV with the 2 inch receiver. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Versatile *by M***I on 20 August 2023* We recently purchased a 53 lb "commuter" ebike with a step through frame and fenders.

It works great and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to safely transport their bicycle without worries of it shifting during the journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rack, but buy the locking kit. *by K***Y on 31 August 2020* Love this rack, it let's me carry 2 bikes easily. If I just have a bike on the furthest out position my lift gate just clears, awesome to still have moderate access without buying a more expensive rack that tilts out of the way! I've taken this on a couple 10 hours drives and the bikes have stayed secure! The bolt that comes to lock to your hitch doesn't have any theft prevention measures, so if you're going to leave the bike unattended I would certainly look into getting a lock! Ideally for your the hitch and a cable lock for the bike. Anything to slow thieves down is worth it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Saris Freedom 2-Bike Hitch Rack – Universal Fit for All Bike Types, 1¼" & 2" Receivers, 120 lb Capacity, Compact Design, Secure Ratcheting Straps - Saris Locking Hitch Tite (Threaded), Hitch Bicycle Rack Accessory - Saris Hitch Tightener Anti Rattle Stabilizer for 2" Hitches Reduce Movement On Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Bike Rack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/262071673-freedom-bike-rack-and-spare-tire-compatible-rack-universal-hitch](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/262071673-freedom-bike-rack-and-spare-tire-compatible-rack-universal-hitch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
