Product Description
Product Description
Got a hatchback? A four-door sedan or a passenger van? Then the Sentinel two-bike trunk rack from Saris is designed with you in mind. Fits atypical body styles and can be mounted over most spoilers or lighting arrays. Carries up to three bikes. Made with adjustable arms that can be mounted securely in multiple positions or can fold flat for storage. The hold-downs wrap around each bike independently so to keep them crashing into one another and to keep then from wobbling while in transit. The hooks that secure the rack to the trunk seam are neoprene coated so they won't scratch your car's finish, and the bottom bar brace has a vinyl covered foam pad to separate the rack from your trunk lid. No assembly required. Just take it out of the box, strap it on and go.
Product Description
The Saris Sentinel Rear Racks take all the things you love about roof mounted systems and put them where you can actually get at them. Like convenience. Simplicity. Peach of mind. Whether you need temporary bike transport that gets you through a weeked, or a more long-term solution that fits in eith your daily activities, Sairs has your rack. And it's a lot closer than you might think.

We had a bike rack a few years ago that attached to the trunk of our Saturn. I don't remember the brand, only that it was so difficult to use that we only used it a few times.
Now living in the Desert Southwest, we've gotten more into biking and were looking for a rack for our Toyota Prius. We went to sporting goods stores and bike stores only to be told that nothing they had would fit. We did some Internet research and found the Saris. The price was right and the reviews were positive. I was skeptical but we figured we'd try it because we hadn't found any other options.
Well, I've got to tell you that even the very first time we used it, we took only 10 minutes to get two bikes hooked on (and they STAYED on even at highway speeds).
This is a NICE rack. Thanks to all those who reviewed it previously and helped me overcome my skepticism.

My vehicle is a 99 Toyota Camry with a spoiler. At first, I was a bit skeptical about whether or not the rack was going to fit around the spoiler. However when I put it on it was about a perfect fit! Despite the fact that the rack only has 4 straps (2 upper and 2 lower), it is very steady.
With one bike attached, the rack handled very well, keeping the speed under 45 mph. Unfortunately, when I took it out to speeds of about 60, I noticed the bike doing a rocking motion. This was probably due to wind turbulence, so I would advise avoiding highways unless you use additional tie-downs for the bike. I also noticed that my bike had a slight tendency to slide back and forth in the brackets when turning.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the functionality and stability. I recommend it to any bike rider/mountain biker.

I got this because it was pretty cheap and it fits on a ford focus hatchback. It works fine with one full sized mountain bike but I think the 2 bike capacity must be for road/kids bikes. It works fine for short distances but I would not be very comfortable using this on a road trip without having to frequently stop and make adjustments. I also recommend bungee cords in addition to the straps to hold your bike in place.
