 "A Quality Product but with Limitations" 2009-08-20
By Richard Thornhill (Tacoma WA USA)
Like all Yakima products this rack is a quality item. It does, however, have some serious limitations. Before you buy one check that it will fit your 2" receiver. On some receivers the bolt holes of the rack and receiver are impossible to line up! I had a Drawtite receiver and experienced this problem. I contacted Yakima and they told me they were aware of the problem but placed the blame on Drawtite. I was able to solve the problem by removing 1/8th of an inch from the rack tongue with a hacksaw, a lot of patience, and several cold beverages. Secondly this rack will only work for long vessels. I have an 18' Chesapeake Light Craft Mill River 18 and a 17" 6" Pygmy Arctic Tern and these just about work. Anything less than about 16' 6" is going to be very difficult to secure. This is also a cumbersome item to store.

So, if you have a longish boat, you have somewhere to store the rack and a compatible hitch this rack is brilliant. If you can't meet these criteria you may have something of a nightmare!

Yackima does offer some other alternatives for mounting a kayak/canoe carrier on a pickup that may work better for shorter boats but you will have to make sure the bedrails of your truck will accomodate them! Arrgghhh!

Having said all this, I remain a fan of Yakima products. Once I got the problem sorted this rack has performed well for me. Apart from the somewhat cavalier comment about the lack of compatibilty being Drawtite's fault I have been impressed with Yakima's customer service. I would have given this product five stars but for the frustrations mentioned above.

 "Very solid product" 2009-06-15
By Victor Okunev (Port Moody, BC Canada)
I use Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount rack to haul huge Current Designs Libra XT double kayak on top of my Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the rack, it keeps the kayak very secure. You don't have to worry about longitudinal kayak wobbling when you drive over the rough terrain or speed bumps! I've noticed some latitudinal movement of the rack, though I have not observed any negative effects of it. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the only option to haul something long and heavy on top of 4Runner as the roof base for putting a two-crossbar roof rack is very small unless your truck has factory-installed rails. To give you a complete picture of my setup, I also use Yakima BoatLoader accessory on my front roof-mounted crossbar. This allows me to load and unload the heavy beast by myself, which makes my life so much easier. Granted, you can't open the rear cargo door with this rack in the trailer hitch, but I can live with that.

 "Best quality rack on the market" 2009-08-25
By R. Smith (Minneapolis)
After wrestling with racks by Grabber and Yakima that hang the bikes by the top tubes, I finally broke down and bought this tray rack by Saris. Couldn't be easier to use. No more bunge cords or velcro straps. Drove 700 miles with bikes on it and no movement whatsoever. It weighs more than some of the other racks and it's not cheap but it's worth every dime. If you have a nice bike and don't want to worry about beating it up (I have a couple of very high end road bikes), this is the only rack to use.

This is a quality bike rack. Very easy to use, durable, and bikes are secure on it - no wobbling. It is quite a bit more expensive than other racks, but well worth the money. I have had hitch mount racks in the past and this is much better. The bikes do not hit up against each other and you don't have to use bungee cords on the wheels or handlebars.

 "Great product but confusing assembly instructions" 2007-09-29
By N. Wynn (Wisconsin USA)
The Saris Cycle-On works great. The rack is easy to put on and take off and securing the bikes is really easy. The only problem was the assembly instructions. They were hard to follow and the parts didn't match the instructions. We had to look up the video on the Saris site and follow the Cycle-On Pro instructions. This worked out quite well.

 "Saris Cycle On Rack" 2007-05-12
By Dr. Mr. Feldesman
The bike rack is fine, although surprisingly heavy compared with others of its ilk (Thule and Yakima). The value of this rack lies in the rock solid mounts for any sized bike along a fixed run tray. The front wheel adjusters are excellent and solid. My only complaint was discovering that the box was missing dozens of parts that had to be ordered from Saris directly at a cost of $58. Amazon offered no help even though it was their fault that the parts were missing. Ultimately Amazon credited me for the cost of the parts, but it was nearly 4 weeks before I had both a functioning rack and at the price I paid for it.

 "Great Rack" 2008-09-29
By Dad of 3 (Central PA)
We have owned this rack for 2 years. We have Honda Odyssey. The reason we chose this rack over the Thule swing out version was because the bottom of the rack is elevated from the hitch (not straight out of reciever). This is important on a lower (non-SUV) vehicle. I've never scraped the hitch on any sharp inclines.



The rack is very solid. No problem to have 4 bikes on the rack and still swing it out of the way (I don't think that Yakima reccomends this....but it works just fine on ours). Only draw back I've found is the shear weight of the rack (50-60 lbs.). Makes removal and storage (I hang ours up) a little difficult. However, it's a great rack.

 "Great rack, litttle heavy, but well worth it." 2007-04-13
By Coderpitt (Texas)
I purchased the rack a couple of months ago and I've been very happy with it. It holds the bikes a little higher than I would like, but that provides clearance on inclines. The main reason that I went with this is that I wanted my wife to be able to access the back hatch on our Montero Sport without having to worry about her 120 lb self dropping everyone's bike or having to take it off. She has no problem at all moving the bikes out of the way and it securely holds the bikes. One thing to consider with this purchas is the 9' yakima cable lock to lace through the tires to prevent tire theft. With the SKS system, all of the keys can be setup to match, so you can have a cargo carrier, bike lock, bike rack, hitch pin lock and whatever else all with one key. It's well worth the money.

 "Bike Rack" 2006-02-23
By Gary L. Phillips (Orlando, FL USA)
This is a very good product. It swings out of the way - even when loaded with bikes - allowing me access to the bed area of my Tahoe. It folds down nicely, allowing me to park in my garage without removing the rack from the truck. On the downside, it is pretty expensive and it is fairly difficult to get the rack mounted on the truck. However, I am not aware of a better bike rack (at any price) intended for use with an SUV with swing-out (i.e. not swing-down) tail gates.

 "Good rack, but room for improvement" 2009-10-18
By Neil Foster (Anaheim, CA)
The rack is OK, but I have two problems with it:



1. The design of the hitch mount that lets you use 2" or 1.25" receivers makes the rack cumbersome to install.

2. The rack uses a threaded bolt, instead of a hitch pin, to attach to the receive. The bolt is an odd size, so it is impossible to lock the rack to the receiver.

 "Never Owned one, but I guess it's a goodie" 2009-10-14
By John C. Noerr
This is my first bike rack. Immediately, I noticed that it wiggles a little in its harness, but I found out they all most likely wiggle a bit. It holds four bikes which is great and it stores really well as it is a single arm typr, rather than the double arm ones that are so popular. It comes with the handy 1 1/4" to 2" conversion thingy, which is great for sure. I've hauled 4, 3, 2, and 1 bike with it, and they all rode well on the back. It swivels down for easy access to the rear of the vehicle. The only hassle is that the bikes are secured by screwing down two bolts, which takes a bit of time. Some quick release mechanism would be far better and handy. Over all, though, for the money this was a good purchase.

 "Change from older model." 2009-07-06
By Rick (Bloomington, MN USA)
I have had one of these for a number of years. When I purchased it, it came with completely separate parts for both the 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. No adapter needed for the 2". Now, it looks like it is basically the 1-1/4" model with a shim for the 2" receiver. My old vehicle was 2", now I have a 1-1/4" receiver. My problem now is that I am trying to track down parts so that it will work with the smaller receiver. [...] Now, the Saris site is displayed. For me, it has been a solid unit, but I do agree with the comments on the straps. I bungee everything and it works fine.

 "Nice for the price" 2008-08-27
By MLipenk (MN)
I have owned this Graber bike rack for about 5 years now. My wife picked one up from our local Target store for my birthday one year. In the 5 years it has traveled thousands of miles between the states of Wis., MN, and ND with not so much as a hiccup. I have carried 4 bikes on it, including 2 adult and 2 kids bikes.



One of the kids bikes is oddly shaped yet still fits fine (20"). One of the kids bikes is an 16" and works as well. It is a bit of a stretch to get any bike on the spot between the rack and the vehicle. I usually put the smallest bike back there.



I have had vehicles with both a 1 1/4" receiver and a 2" receiver. If you use the included threaded pin with the tightening shim, there is next to no wobble with either configuration, even with the plastic 2" adapter. The shim goes inside the square pipe of the bike rack. Then when you insert the pin with the threads near the head, through the receiver and the bike rack tube and the shim bolt, and ratchet it down tight, everything becomes nice and snug. I have to wonder if other reviewers correctly used the shim or if they are using the shim at all.



I also like the fact that this rack folds down and allows you to get into the back of your vehicle. A lot of racks in this price range do not have that feature. You can also easily fold down the horizontal bars that hold the bikes for more compact storage in your garage. The straps also work fine, although the little nubs that hold the straps do tend to mis-shape a little bit. However, I have never had one unstrap by itself in the 5 years I've had it.



Yes you can get fancier, more refined bike racks from Thule or Yakima and others, but you will also pay an arm and a leg. I agree with one reviewer that the large tube construction seems like over-kill and adds a lot of weight, but this Graber is also SOLID and yet won't break your budget. This Graber has given me no reason to look elsewhere for another rack, nor consider upgrading. I have been happy with it.

 "Heed the warnings when using with 2 inch Hitch " 2008-06-27
By Young (San Jose, CA, USA)
Bought this product based on price and review, thinking that the "sway" problem is due to wrong installation, and not with the product. I was wrong. I have 2 inch Hitch, and using the included plastic adapter, and the retaining pin that tightens with a screw on the other side (which is a hack in itself), I loaded up two adult and two childrens bikes. Initial sway was concerning but not enough to stop the trip. The sway increased over 300 mile trip to about 0.5 foot left and right (total play of 1 foot), and increased to 1.5 feet total on the return trip. All the sway action eroded the inside groove of the plastic adapter. I have a Cadillac Escalade (same as GMC, Chevy, etc) factory 2 inch hitch. Perhaps people who reported no or little sway problem with 2 inch adapter have different mechanicals that helps the situation (longer overlap perhaps between the 2 inch rack and the hitch mount insertion... I am guessing at this point). I am returning this to the target store (or gift it to a friend w/ 1.25 inch hitch, if they don't take it back).



Aside from this glaring 2 inch hitch adapter problem:



Pro:

1. Built Solid - The whole rack and bikes are secure together -- the sway probelms is at the hitch mount for the whole package.

2. Up to three bikes could be carried far enough out from the back of the car to be concerned about scratching the finish. The fourth one mounted near the car should be secured with bunge cords to the other bikes to keep it away from the car.

3. Even with four bikes, I had access to the rear loading window (push out a handle bar a bit).

4. The retaining straps worked well (I understand the perception of flimsiness), but had no issues on mine. The weight of the bikes keeps the bike in place in the groove, and strap is there to position them.

5. Price - Good price and good product -- had I have 1.25 inch Hitch.



Con:

1. 2. 3. Sway problem with 2 inch Hitch.

4. The horizontal bars (where bikes rest) are secured with big hand-tightening screw/handle combo w/ no locking washiers, etc. I could imagin that if I am not mindful of this and tighten it occationally, bikes could fall off.



Well, I researched for the replacement, and found Softride 25863 Access Dura 2. It is 2.5 time the cost ($246.37 from Amazon), but it is better than any other one I've seen, with vertical tilt down for a full rear access of the car/truck. Should have bought that in the first place.

 "Wobbly with poor security for bikes" 2007-05-13
By Swabbie (Georgia)
I received this rack as a gift, so I didn't get to evaluate it before purchase. I have a 2" hitch receiver. The included 2" adapter is worthless, wobbly, and unstable. The reason is the use of nylon and loose tolerance in the adapter. Had to buy a steel adapter that fit from another vendor. Don't trust the included cheap plastic bike straps unless you want to risk losing your bikes to following traffic. Use plently of tiedowns that you provide yourself. The horizonal bars that hold the bikes are attached to the upright pipe by screw knobs that are only hand-tightened and can back out. The upright pipe is the one thing that is over-engineered and more sturdy than needed. I would strongly recommend a potential purchaser spend more money for a better carrier. It might be OK for taking a kid's bike to a neighborhood park, but that's about it.
