Saris Bike Porter Trunk 2-Bike

I like this rack because it is basic, easy to install and remove and I can open my trunk with the rack in place. If I am transporting my bike on a longer trip, I have another rack which takes longer to install but provides better stability on long highway drives. But this rack is my preference for anything local. I have had 2 adult bikes plus 2 children's bikes mounted with no problems.

I've have this bike rack for over a year now and couldn't be happier with it. Very easy to put on and take off the car. Looking forward driving with it to South Dakota this summer for some biking in the Black Hills.

We bought this a year ago after owning a Saris hitch carrier. We have had the hitch carrier all over the US. Our new Camry hybrid does not have a hitch. Love them both. They will not disappoint. Great bike carriers.

I have had this bike rack for about awhile now. It is a very easy rack to put on the car. It is very sturdy and will not harm your bike.

It is not damaged my car. Very light and easy to install.

Easy to mount. Can raise hatchback without removing it. Good product. Great price.

Let me say first that it's a solid, well-made, quality product. The only thing I want to point out is that when I drive at highway speeds, I noticed the bike and rack swaying up, down and sideways as I went over rough spots. My friend was driving in front of me, and his rack was rock-solid. I didn't see his bike move at all, no matter what the road conditions were. He has a Yakima, and the difference between mine and his is, mine has one padded stability cushion (the "lower foot pad") resting on the fender, whereas his Yakima has one resting on the fender and one on the trunk. The "upper foot pad" on mine seems to be undersized. It should have been a wide, thickly padded support like the lower foot pad, not just an arm resting on the trunk. By the way, I had the straps cinched as tightly as possible. I was pretty anxious driving at 60-65 mph. and looking in the mirror and seeing the rack and bike bouncing along. Maybe I'm not used to it yet, and need to make adjustments. Overall it is a very well engineered product.

I purchased 1 month a go for a Lincoln MKZ. Fits well and sturdy. After 1-2 set-ups, now easy to take on/off. Based on short mileage trips, would assume could withstand longer trips as well. There is extra length on the straps and I purchased cheap velcro straps to bundle the extra so they are not dangling. Very good value for the money.

Selected this since I am only an occasional cyclist. Not very easy to install, and didn't work well on my vehicle since the trunk edges are all curved. Ended up with deep scratches all around my car because the brackets are metal. Took it off and will return. (And buy touch up paint. Ugh.)

I have had no problems with my rack thus far and feel confident within my purchase. I drive a 2012 Mazda Mazda 2 and given the awkward (and small) shape of my hatchback, I think that my Saris rack fits perfectly. It's easy to adjust and easy to take on and off. No complaints over here :) Completely worth it!

Purchased the Porter 2 as i had read some great reviews about it, One thing that was not accounted for is a rear spoiler. This makes for a difficult fit and some fiddling.. I am currently in communication with Saris support regarding this. The rack is still not on properly as per the instructions, the user manual does advise to refer to the website for special need fits if your vehicle contains a spoiler but i could not find anything at all covering this. If your vehicle does not have a rear spoiler i would definitely recommend this rack as it is solid and stable and does what they say it does. Just be cautious if your vehicle has one.

I constantly use the rack for traveling around Puerto Rico. Is great that this rack is so lightweight.

I particularly like how well the rack cradles the bike & holds it steady. Also like that although a little awkward, I can still open my trunk, even with a bike mounted on the rack (not so sure it would still work w/2). Only improvement I would like to see is a convenient way to manage the long straps after they are secured - I just tie them off, but it looks klutzy & I don't want to cut them off, because I might need longer straps for my next vehicle - definitely minor in any case!

Mounted easily on a 2007 Honda Civic on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning set off on a three day drive to Washington State. Checked the stabilizer straps as recommended and only had to tighten them slightly during the drive. At first wasn't quit sure about adjusting the horizontal carry bars to a full horizontal position and had to readjust to achieve that configuration. Very stable laterally. Very pleased with performance.

I use this carrier to take my bike to places that are too far away to ride to. It's easy to install and light weight.

The Bike Porter Trunk 2 fits our 2010 Toyota Prius perfectly. It sets up quickly, and holds the bikes firmly and securely. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's still new and I want to see how it holds up over time.

We are casual recreational bikers. Product seems to work ok but I'm concerned about how the clips engage the vehicle and if I'm going to experience scratches. I have an Audi Q5 and the straps seem to be quite long but are working ok. If you can improve the clips that attach to the vehicle it would help in my view. The dealer did a nice job of showing me how to install the product.

The entire rack is backwards. Must turn bike w/kickstand closest to car, so makes it difficult to move around. For girls bike, I must use bar. Bar is obtrusive so that the strap is catching and tearing up my seat, also the bar is rubbing on attachment where bar comes in contact with strap. I will have to replace the bike seat long before I would like and the rack will probably have to be replaced. Which may be a blessing in disguise.

I bought this rack for our trip to Virginia Beach. What impressed me the most is the fact that it did not wobble around, no flexing in any direction. Never once did I feel like I was going to loose the bikes and rack, our damage to my car.

We are active seniors (69/67) but hadn't used our bicycles in several years. We were looking for a solution to be able to haul our bikes to several trails that are available within 5-10 miles from our home. I spent considerable time reading reviews and eventually purchased the Guardian/Graber model on the recommendation of a salesman/technician at Dick's Sporting Goods. It is actually made by Saris and looks and works similar to a Bones 2 that we had 8 years ago. We have now used our bikes 4 days in a row. The bike rack is easy to install and bikes are very secure. As a safety measure, I added the use of 15" Velcro straps (from [@]) to tie the bikes to the rack where the rubber strap holds the bike frame into the mounts. Because theft is always a possibility, I place an older digital camera set to video mode, inside the rear window of the car while we are out on the bike trails.
