Quality bike rack
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.

Best quality rack on the market, August 25, 2009
This review is from: SARIS CYCLE ON PRO HITCH RACK 2 BIKE (Sports)
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.

Solid rack; heavy; see video for installation instructions, May 11, 2010
It's a solid rack - though that also means it is fairly heavy.
As mentioned in a review for the non-'Pro' model Saris Cycle-On 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack, the printed assembly instructions are pretty poor - refer to the assembly video on the Saris site (a larger version is also on YouTube). The video seems to differs a little from the printed instructions by the way (the order of bolting the rack to the hitch bar).
Even the video is lacking, some of the trickier bits have been purposely edited out. Examples:
- it was difficult for me to get the bolt sleeve in position; I needed to tap it in place. In the video, the sleeve jumps from being placed near position to being in place - I assume the installer has some difficulty here and it was edited out. It would have helped me out if either that was included, or at least if the printed instructions mentioned it could be tight fit.
- along the same lines, but less important, when the first bolt hole needs to be lined up it generally takes a few tries to get it right - these apparently were also edited out of the video. In other words the video shows a smooth not-quite-real-world installation experience. Be prepared to spend a few more minutes with your installation.
I found that the internal part that provides tool-less hitch tightening sometimes gets out of alignment making it impossible to tighten the hitch. You need to position it so that it starts to protrude from the side of the hitch bar.

VERY GOOD BIKE RACK, January 10, 2010
I used it for 800 miles with two bikes on, attached on a 2007 BMW X5.
Bikes stayed stable with no movement whatsoever. Very confident.
They create a "V" shaped rearward, not obstructing rear view.
To open the rear gate on an SUV, you really need to unload the inner bike - easily done.
DISADVANTAGES: 1)The rack sticks out quite a bit in the rear and it has no reflective surface to warn followers. I easily attached with velcros a bike rear reflector in the middle, to make it visible to others at night. If you wish, you can use a flashing reflector.
2)The rear parking sensors are useless with the rack on. Need to watch your parking habits.

Not weatherproofed--will rust out on you, June 15, 2010
The design is great-convenient. But it's in no way weather resistant. It will quickly begin to show signs of rust. After 3 years on my car (I leave it on as I bike year-round) it's totally rusted out.

Very good Bike Rack, April 20, 2010
Its a very good bike with the Exception of a Broken Clamp just after 2 uses. The Clamp is plastic, metal would be better. I called Saris, got the part within few days. Good Customer Service. Other that that, its very solid bike rack.
