Saris Bike Beam & LT Top Tube Adapter – Mount Non-Traditional Bike Frames on Hanging Style Hitch & Trunk Racks – Adjustable Length, 35 lb Capacity, Easy Installation

I use these for my wife, two kids, and my mountain bikes on our saris rack. I have had zero problems using them. Intuitive and easy to use.

I own not one, not two, but three due to the ease of use these provide for hauling out step through bikes on our trailer.

I bought a Saris Bones ex3 rack a year ago and have not been able to use it for my dual suspension mountain bike. This adapter bar solves the problem. Easy to clamp on bike and very sturdy. Bike fits perfect on rack and is very stable, does not shake or move at all. saris products have a good reputation and the bike beam is no exception. We’ll made, great design and easy to use clamps. Glad i finally bought it.

Seems good strength. Holds an adult low step bike well. Design is simple to use. First time it seems awkward to get both sides on but goes on fine. On the bike we have, it only fits if you put it on the seat stand as it doesn’t fit below the frame bars by the seat. So it is important to make sure the seat is tightened down very well. The carrier does have extra backup straps so it won’t be detrimental but wish it had more adjustment length and angle when installing.

This is a great product, very sturdy and secure, and it has extended the life of my older Yakima hitch swing rack. As the kids got older and the geometry on our bikes (as well as being all MTB now) has changed, it got increasingly difficult to fit all four on the rack. So, I started looking into tray and vertical racks, but they are so expensive and cumbersome. But, this little device has changed everything. I bought two at first to give it a try, then loved them so much I bought a third. These ended up saving me a lot of money in the end and I can keep using my current rack, which is so simple and easy to take on/off the car.

This is my 2nd Saris crossbar, have over 6000 miles on the old one so I needed a new and never considered anything else. The new crossbar is much more durable and there is nothing on that can scratch my bike.Great item, highly recommend as I now use 2 of them.

Good product to secure mountain bike on the Saris racks, easy to use :)

I guess all these bars have the similar dimensions. The other one I know, from “Eletric” , is no different. The loops are too small for the Specialized Como e-bike and I you have to force them to the bike’s frame.
