Bottom line
The Saris MHS is a modular hitch rack that allows owners to configure the base rack with the type and number of trays that meet their needs. Three base units are available to carry between one and four bikes. The weight capacity of each individual tray depends on the tray type (UNO or DUO), the base size, the number of trays mounted, and other factors. Single-armed UNO trays fit 50" wheelbases and 3" tires. Dual-armed DUO trays fit 53" wheelbases and 5" tires. Both accommodate 20 to 29" wheels. Experts praise the Saris MHS's versatility, robust build, and ease of use and deem it a solid investment.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
