Saris (USA) – "The Saris team has been solving bike transportation problems for over four decades. It’s sort of our M.O. From the first strap-on trunk rack in 1974 to the introduction of ubiquitous Bones rack in 1996 to present day, the Saris team knows a thing or two about designing game changing bike racks", explained the company.

"Our quest of innovation is more than surface-deep. This drive to try something new is part of each product’s DNA, from conceptualization all the way to how we introduce a new bike rack to our customers. Our newest addition to the hitch rack family is the Glide - a never before seen rack that gives you instant access to the hatch of a vehicle both with bikes and without", they continue.

"Born in our labs in Madison, Wisconsin, the Glide does this with mind-blowing one-step glide action. Simply push the trigger to release the rack, and boom – hatch access. When you’re done, the same amount of (non) effort glides the rack upright and you’re good to go", added Saris.

According to the company, "tThe Glide is the best – and only – hanging hitch bike rack that provides fast, one-step access to the hatch of the car".



"A bike rack this innovative deserves a different type of introduction. That's why the Glide hitch rack will make its first appearance on the popular crowd-funding site, Kickstarter. Through Kickstarter we're presented a unique opportunity to connect with interested customers in a whole new way. This connection during the very last phase of development provides us with key feedback and insight to ensure the best possible rack makes its way into stores", concluded the company.
