LONG FOR THE RIDE
Just as no garage is complete without a bicycle, at Saris, we believe no car
is complete without a bike rack. Since setting off on this journey nearly 30
years ago, Saris racks have freed millions of bike-lovers to explore new
territory and terrain, take part in group rides, bike pool to races, and
commute to and from work. And we continue to do so in style. As the all-time
1 best-selling bike rack, Saris Bones® continues to set the standard for
excellence in design. Today all Saris bicycle racks are intuitive to load and secure and guaranteed for life. Built by cyclists for cyclists in Madison, Wisconsin, we strive to create the world’s best bike racks. Because cycling is what we live for.
