The T-bone from Saris is one incredible rack! I can’t wait to get my hands on it. My husband and I just bought a Honda CRV and we live in an apartment. Being cycling enthusiasts, we were debating whether to get a rack for the car and then hang the bikes inside (garage space is nil). The T-bone just solved our problem for us in the most elegant way imaginable.

Really looking forward to offering this product at RackOutfitters.com. This new design addresses many of the common issues with hitch mounted bike racks. Saris isn’t the first to market with ultra lightweight hitch racks but this new T-Bone design seems to be the most advanced design do date. Seems like the theme to this rack is ease of use and multi-purpose.
The reversible hitch base is one of those thing that make you ask yourself why hasn’t anyone done this by now? It’s so simple yet so beneficial to users. The ability to fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches is a great start but the fact that base can be reversed to provide extra clearance for deeply inset hitches or for spare tire clearance is an out of the park home run, bravo Saris!
Saris thought beyond simply racking bikes on the vehicle and considered the need for storing bikes at home as well. With a rack this light it should be a breeze to take it with you inside and set it up as a interior storage racks. Double duty, multi-purpose products beat out single use product when it does each job as well as the single use product, that’s a no brainer.
The storage bag that seems to accompany the rack is a nice idea but this accessory may have put the whole rack system out of the price range for many people’s consideration. It would be better if it was offered separately so the rack could be offers at a lower price point.
The Saris T-Bone will be a welcome addition to the excellent Saris rack line up.
