Swing Away

Not our first purchase of Saris products

Awesome addition for our bikes. The swing away is the best. This item gives us full access to the rear of our vehicle. We love it.

Love this

Had to flip it upside down to use with my Bronco Wildtrak. But it works great!!

Hefty! Great quality! Made in America! 🇺🇸

I just got a Ford Bronco and knew I needed an extender bc of the rear-mounted spare tire. This adds so much more versatility that a basic hitch extender. I was dubious of the weight rating, but was pleasantly surprised at the heftiness of this accessory. Beautifully made!

Clean and low profile

Lighter then other swing aways with the same weight rating. Clean low profile look.

Get those bikes out of the way!

Perfect for when you need access to the rear of your vehicle. Puts the bikes completely out of the way and let's you get in and out of the car easily.

Poor design on 90° lock pin

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I've used the Saris Swing Away a couple of times and it is not designed for the rated 250 lb weight limit listed. The 90° locking mechanism bent the first week of use while the bikes were swung open. It was windy in Hood River and was fully loaded using the Yakima Hangover 4 with 2 All-Mountain bikes and 2 DH bikes (approximately 210 lbs) but well under the 250 lb weight limit. I went with this version instead of the Yakima since it is a little longer on the arms and swings further away from the truck to allow the tailgate to open or open the door on the FWC Hawk camper. Definitely don't recommend the Saris Swing Away since the hinge is undersized and the 90° locking mechanism is crap. Saris needs to redesign the hinge and 90° lock to be more durable similar to Yakima or 1UPs Rak Attach version. I know Saris doesn't recommend using this product with other brand racks but don't understand how this would hold up any better with their products since their racks have longer moment arms applied to the swing away portion of the adapter.

Just what I was looking for

I have a heavy fat ebike from QuietKat that this swing arm easily handles. I drive on a 4 wheel drive rough road regularly and the swing arm gives me access to my camper without taking off the bike, a great convenience. I could not be more pleased with this American made product, and the customer service I received. Thank You Saris

Well designed

I bought this with a bit of trepidation, wondering about the weight limited on the part. As it turns out the construction is so well thought out, there no doubt it will handle the weight recommended. I really like this item. Would recommend it for anyone.’

Great Swing Away

Great item for my current Saris Freedom Rack. Works great. Well made. Heavy Duty. Plus made in the USA!
