Overview

One tray holds a bike by the wheels on the Saris MHS Duo, which attaches to a hitch. Aluminum gives it a carbon black finish, and it is part of a modular system.

A modular design means a rider can add trays for more bikes as needs grow. The limitation is clarity: the listing names only the one-bike tray and states no hitch receiver size or mounting hardware.

Who it's for

A cyclist with a car, truck or van who wants a sturdy aluminum tray for one bike. A buyer who needs the full kit, or a rack for several bikes at once, should confirm what else is required.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Machined aluminum construction
  • Wheel mount for the bike
  • Suitable for cars, trucks and vans
Cons
  • Hitch base not listed as included
  • Receiver size not stated
  • Heavy for a single tray

Performance notes

Load capacity is set by the aluminum tray and the hitch connection, so the stated limit covers the bike and not extra gear. The wheel mount holds the bike by its wheels rather than the frame. Stability depends on a tight hitch fit, which the listing does not detail.
