Platform-Style Hitch Bike Racks Comparison Video
Although Thelma is as much fun to look at as she is to use, Thelma is more than just a pretty rack! Designed for Saris Racks by award winning designer Fabio Pedrini, the Saris Thelma is the easiest to use and lightest platform style hitch bike rack available today. Weighing just 31 pounds, you can effortlessly lift, install and remove this beauty.
The Saris Thelma 3 Bike Hitch Mount Rack holds 3 bicycles and is available in two models: 4220 Saris Thelma fits 2" hitches / 4219 Saris Thelma fits 1.25" hitches (also available are the Saris Thelma 2 bike hitch racks). Uniquely contoured arms fit like a glove over virtually any size tire, from skinny 700c road tires to knobby fat 26" mountain bike tires, and cradle your bike solidly and securely no matter how far you're traveling (for transporting kids bikes and bmx bikes with 20" wheels we recommend the Saris Thelma Juvenile Add-On accessory (not included; see accessory add-ons below). The included wheel ratchet straps are simple to use, click into place and stay tight against the wheels. Best of all Thelma doesn't ever touch your bike frame so no worries about markings or damaged bike frame paint jobs. Saris Thelma hitch bike rack conveniently folds up and out of the way when not is use too. For total bike hitch rack theft protection we recommend the Saris Thelma compatible Yakima Lockup (not included; see accessory add-ons below) for simultaneously securing the bikes to the rack and the rack itself to the vehicle.
