Saris rebuilt their website from the ground up. We spent some time with the new experience and pulled out everything worth knowing if you're in the market for bike racks, indoor bike trainers, or bike storage.
Anyone who has tried to buy a bike rack online knows the drill. You start with a simple question ("which rack fits my car?") and twenty minutes later you're buried in spec sheets, wondering what the difference is between a platform hitch rack and a hanging hitch rack, and whether either of them can actually handle your 55-pound e-bike. It's the kind of shopping experience that makes you want to just drive to a store and point at something. Saris, the Wisconsin-based company behind some of the most popular bike racks and indoor bike trainers in the country, seems to have been thinking about this problem too. They recently rolled out a completely redesigned website, and after clicking around for a while, we can say it was clearly built with the customer in mind. Faster navigation, smarter tools, and a shopping experience that guides you land on the right product without the usual runaround.
Here's our walkthrough of what's new, what's improved, and which products caught our eye along the way.
The old Saris site had plenty of great products, but finding the right one for your specific vehicle and riding style took more effort than it should have. The new layout fixes that in a few key ways.
For starters, Hitch Bike Racks and Trunk Bike Racks are now in their own separate collections with filtering that’s far easier to navigate.
The best part, though, is the updated Fit Guide. You plug in your vehicle's year, make, and model, and the tool spits out a short list of racks that are confirmed compatible. If you've ever dealt with the hassle of returning a rack that didn't fit, you'll understand why this tool alone is worth bookmarking.
Saris has a deep rack lineup, but a handful of products stand out if you're browsing the new site for the first time.
The 2025 SuperClamp 2-Bike Hitch Rack is their newest release and it's already generating buzz. It carries up to 60 pounds per bike with a zero-frame-contact design, meaning your bike is held securely by the tire rather than clamped onto the frame. There's a tool-free anti-wobble system for a rock-solid connection to your vehicle, and the tilting design lets you get into your trunk without pulling the bikes off first. That last feature might sound minor at first, but in practice it's one of those things you never want to live without once you've had it.
If you travel by RV, the SuperClamp HD is worth a serious look. It shares the same dual wheel-clamping hooks and tilting design as the standard SuperClamp, but it's built on a dedicated 2" receiver base and rated for Class A, B, and C motorhomes. The RV-Compatible Bike Racks collection makes things easier too. Having all the RV-rated options in one place saves a lot of scrolling and cross-referencing.
On the more affordable end, the Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack continues to be one of the most popular trunk racks out there. It fits 90% of the most commonly driven vehicles (spoilers included), weighs just 11 pounds, and has the kind of track record that's hard to argue with. Saris has moved over a million Bones racks, and the EX version expanded compatibility to 20% more vehicles than the original. The full lineup lives in the Trunk Bike Racks collection.
One of the smarter moves on the new site is the dedicated E-Bike Racks collection. Electric bikes are heavier than most people expect, often landing in the 50 to 70 pound range. Having a curated page that only shows racks rated for that weight takes a lot of the guesswork out of the equation.
Also worth mentioning: the MHS Modular Hitch System. It's a build-your-own-rack setup where you start with a base and add individual bike trays as your needs grow. Riding solo right now? Start with a single tray. Pick up a second bike next year? Snap on another one. Some configurations support up to 80 pounds per bike, so it scales well even if you move into heavier setups down the road.
On the old site, the trainer section felt like an afterthought. That's changed. Smart Trainers and Basic Trainers now live in their own dedicated collections, making it easy to zero in on what matches your goals and budget.
The M2 Smart Trainer deserves a closer look, especially if you want smart training without spending a fortune. It's a wheel-on trainer with electromagnetic resistance that handles up to 1,500 watts and simulates climbs up to a 15% grade. It comes with built-in cadence, speed, and power sensors, plus dual ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth connectivity for apps like Zwift, Rouvy, and TrainerRoad. No external sensors to buy, no dongles to fiddle with. Just mount your bike, pair the app, and ride. Saris also designed the M2 with a dedicated clutch knob that locks in a consistent tire-to-roller connection every time, so you're not recalibrating between sessions. It’s a strong option at this price point.
One detail worth calling out: the M2 includes a headless mode that mimics the progressive resistance curve of the Fluid2, so you can ride without being tethered to a screen if you just want to spin your legs and zone out. Most smart trainers in this price range don't give you that option.
For riders who don't need app connectivity at all, the Fluid2 Trainer and the Mag+ Trainer are both solid options. The Fluid2 uses progressive fluid resistance that feels remarkably close to riding on the road, while the Mag+ offers five levels of magnetic resistance controlled by a handlebar-mounted shifter. Both come in well under $200, which makes them easy to justify even if you're only riding indoors a few months out of the year.
Then there's the MP1 Nfinity Platform and there's really nothing else like it on the market. It's a motion platform that sits underneath your trainer and lets the bike rock side to side and shift forward and back, mimicking the natural movement of outdoor riding. You end up with a more comfortable, more engaging indoor session, especially during longer efforts where the rigidity of a fixed trainer starts to wear on you. The new product page does a much better job of explaining how the Nfinity technology actually works and who benefits most from it.
Bike storage is one of those things nobody thinks about until their garage looks like a bicycle graveyard. Where do the bikes go when you're not riding? Leaning against the wall? Blocking the path to the car? Balanced on that one chair that apparently belongs to the bike now?
Saris has a cleaner Bike Storage section on the new site, organized into Ceiling & Wall and Free-Standing options. The Cycle Glide is a ceiling-mounted system that holds four bikes and slides them along a track, which is a clever solution for garages where floor space is at a premium. The Bike Bunk stands freely and stores bikes into a vertical position without any wall drilling, making it a strong pick for apartments and rental spaces. And the Hottie is a sleek freestanding vertical rack for two bikes that looks nice enough to keep in your living room.
Beyond the products themselves, the redesigned saris.com has a handful of tools that make the shopping experience noticeably better. These are worth bookmarking even if you're not ready to buy today.
The Bike Rack Fit Guide tackles the single biggest question every rack buyer has: will this fit my car? Enter your vehicle info and it narrows the field to what's actually compatible. Simple concept, but surprisingly few brands do this well.
The Compare Bike Racks and Compare Bike Trainers pages let you stack products side by side, spec for spec. When you're stuck choosing between two racks that seem almost identical, being able to compare weight capacity, receiver compatibility, and tilting features in one view makes the decision a lot clearer.
The Best Sellers collection is a quick way to see what other riders are actually buying. Sometimes that's more helpful than any spec sheet.
The educational content has also gotten a noticeable upgrade. Bike Racks 101 and Bike Trainers 101 walk you through the different types, explain what to look for, and help you narrow things down based on your situation. They're written to inform, not to upsell, which is refreshing.
New website aside, the things that have made Saris a trusted name in cycling haven't changed. They're still headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, still sourcing local materials, and still manufacturing most of their products in the U.S. Their Support Center connects you with people who actually ride bikes and can walk you through installation, troubleshooting, or warranty questions. There's also a full library of product manuals and instructional videos if you'd rather figure things out at your own pace.
If you're curious about the company itself and its involvement in cycling advocacy, the This is Saris page is a good read. It's a reminder that the people behind the products are riders themselves, not just engineers in a warehouse.
Whether you're buying your first trunk rack, upgrading to something that can handle a heavy e-bike, putting together an indoor training setup, or just trying to reclaim your garage from a pile of bicycles, the new saris.com makes the process noticeably smoother. The product range runs deep, the fit and comparison tools that are genuinely useful, and the whole experience feels like it was put together by people who understand how cyclists think and shop.
Take a few minutes to explore saris.com when you get a chance. Even if you're not buying anything right now, the fit tools and comparison pages are worth having in your back pocket for when the time comes. Plus, free shipping kicks in at $150, which sweetens the deal if you're on the fence.
