Saris Introduces the Edge: A Premium Bike Rack for Every Cyclist's Adventure
As the cycling season kicks off, Saris has launched an innovative solution for bike enthusiasts—the Edge bike rack. This latest offering from Saris emphasizes safety, usability, and versatility, catering to both e-bikes and traditional bicycles. Priced at $999.99, the Edge promises to simplify bike transportation and ensure that cyclists can embark on their journeys with peace of mind.
Key Features of the Edge Bike Rack
The Edge is a product developed with cyclists in mind. Here are some standout features:
1. E-Bike Compatibility
The Edge is engineered to support two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs. each, making it particularly suited for e-bikes, which often have a heftier weight. This capability allows for hassle-free travel, even with more substantial equipment.
2. Zero Frame Contact
To protect your bikes, the Edge employs a fixed-position, spring-loaded arm that secures the bicycles without making contact with the frame or fork. This innovation ensures that all types of bikes are protected from potential scratches or damage during transit.
3. Fender Compatibility
The rack's design accommodates bikes with fenders, enhancing its versatility for commuters and touring cyclists alike. This means that more cyclists can utilize the Edge without worrying about compatibility issues.
4. Enhanced Security
Saris has prioritized security in the Edge's design, incorporating a spring-loaded arm that aids in stabilizing the bike, even if there is a flat tire. This feature guarantees that each bike remains firmly in place throughout the journey, reducing the risk of accidents or damage on the road.
5. Additional Functionalities
- - Wheelbase and Tire Compatibility: The Edge can accommodate bikes with wheelbases up to 53 inches, as well as wheels ranging from 24 to 29 inches wide, including 3-inch tires. This wide-ranging compatibility makes the rack a great choice for various bike types.
- - Integrated Locking System: The rack includes locking cables to secure the bikes to the rack itself, along with a locking hitch pin to prevent theft by securing the rack to the vehicle.
- - Riser Block Feature: With a riser block that elevates the rear wheel by 2.5 inches, riders won't need to worry about interference from the seat or handlebars during transportation.
- - Tilting Functionality: The Edge boasts an easy tilt mechanism that allows access to a vehicle’s hatch or trunk even with bikes loaded.
- - RV Approved: For those who travel in Class A, B, or C motorhomes, the Edge is RV approved, making it a perfect accessory for road trips and outdoor adventures.
