QuickrStuff Mach 2 vs Saris MHS 

Great review and fair comparison. Incredibly helpful video. I bought the MHS because it was half the cost of the Quikrstuff, similar features, and one handed operation. Thank you!

This is a very well edited and professional comparison. I like that you don't "pick a winner," because, clearly there isn't one. You couldn't have made it more clear the variables for choosing. I will subscribe. I like your presentation style and professionalism. Maybe the best objective comparison review I've watched on RU-vid. FWIW, I have the QuikrStuff and for the reasons you give for choosing it. Good job!

Thanks for the review. Ordered the Mach 2 a month ago. I liked the easy on and off, no plastic parts, stepped trays, and it's made in Grand Junction Colorado. I suspect it will be my last rack as these should last a long time. Cheers!!

For my needs by far goes the QuickerStuff earns my vote. Lighter, more portable, treys that progress in height. BTW the progressive height might prevent the rack from bottoming out as well when going up a steep incline, such as the driveway to my home. Most of the time I'm transporting only one bike. If you have only a single trey mounted, the license plate and the taillights won't be blocked when driving around without a bike, therefore no need to remove the rack. I own the Thule EasyFold XT2. It shares a few of the features of the QuickerStuff, however I think that QuickerStuff beats the Thule.

If anyone was wondering about price, a quick check I did for a 3 bike system showed about $1550 for QuickrStuff and $1300 for Saris. So pretty expensive. Think I'll stick with what I have.

On the Quikr and 1-Up, you can slightly loosen the hinge bolts to make the rack easier to raise/lower. This slightly fixes the release bar as well as you need less force to wiggle the rack. BTW I recommend taking the Quikr/ 1up apart and threadlocking. I found no threadlock on either!

Really great comparison. There were a few things that I am interesteed in and wanted to share some additional research I did as a result. The Saris is up to 80lbs ea (2 trays) and the Quikr is up to 120lbs for two. Kids bikes are a not supported by Saris whereas they are on the Quikr (down to 12" wheels). Finally, I can't find anything on the Saris rack supporting travel on RV (Travel Trailer or 5th Wheels can be pretty violent back there). The Quikr rack does support chassis mounted 2" recievers with no downgraded to weight limit.

Great comparison! I like the one handed aspect of the MHS but the Mach 2 wins in my book: weight, storage, portability, all metal, ramp with mounting ability to the rack, and setup up for add ons. Great products tho!

The Saris looks pretty good. I went with the QuikrStuff b/c it's a more compact, lighter, and faster 1-bike solution.

Good review, can't forget the Quiker and even OneUp are based on an original design focused on CNC aluminum parts made and assembled in America. Thats a winner in my book

Upper slot on quikrack works for bmx bikes for me. Good review. I had the lock on the 2nd extra rack on the quikrack get stuck which was a real problem. Had to drill through the lock and it was a pita to remove it. Rack was out of action for weeks.

The Saris, thesaurus. Can't not hear it every time . Nice review! 😊

I've got the QuickrStuff. The stepped trays help with ground clearance and preventing bikes from contacting each other. It's the more elegant design and its cottage company versus big Saris. A tip with actuating the release lever on QuickrStuff, rather than pulling on the red fingerhold, you can pull up the bar on the bottom that the pull handle attaches to. I agree it's hard to operate the red fingerhold and probably will get harder with time as I've found the screws and nuts on the QuickrStuff are subject to corrosion and rust.

I did wait a long time for my QuikR rack, but it was worth the wait. Apartment living does not give one much room to store alot of stuff, and a bike rack that does not fold into a compact as possible size just won’t do. Most of the time it is either on the back of my 4Runner being used, or folded up inside. I can take it out of the back whenever I need it or leave it mounted without worry of theft. QuickR is no tools and only requires the key to mount and dismount, so convenient. True the price is way up there, but I wanted one made in America. They do have a lock that installs through the arm and supposedly can be keyed the same as the original rack. For some reason they sourced the locks from China. There are no plastic components on the QuickR rack and I believe this is a rack that will last a long time and is the only rack I will need.

The Rocky Mountain Guide Rail system looks to address some of the deficiencies of the QuickrStuff and Saris. Still a six plus month wait time for a QuikrStuff rack.

Thanks for the concise, yet comprehensive review. The Quickrstuff website states that delivery of their product may be delayed up to six months, due to a disruption in the supply of aluminum. Maybe some of the larger online stores already have sufficient inventory to supply customers during the next few months? I don't know.

I canceled my order for the MHS when I found out how heavy it is. The two bike is 120lbs. The two bike Saris Superclamp I’m currently using is 32lbs. The Superclamp also just grabs the wheels.

Would suggest adding ebikes with fenders and the loading and unloading of same.

Great review! Question, answer is obvious, but-in vertical position the saris prevents lowering of tundra tailgate?

I wanted to get a QuickrStuff or a 1Up rack but both my bike and ebike have fenders, so I went with a Hollywood Sport Rider that can hold two 80 pounders. This thing is so bulky, heavy and awkward that I'm just going to leave it on my truck and if it gets swiped then so be it.

Great review. I have both the older Saris MTR-2 and the new QuickrStuff Mach 2. I much prefer the QuickrStuff rack due to its modularity. So easy to add or remove a tray and not having anything stick out like with the Saris. My older Saris took about 10 minutes to add a 3rd and 4th tray and the rack also got very heavy. Is the new Saris just as easy to add a 3rd or 4th tray as the QuickrStuff? I do like the cable locks on the Saris and the one handed operation although I broke some of the ratcheting teeth by putting too much pressure on the arm to secure the bike. Saris replaced the broken parts free of charge though. QuickrStuff is now offering some locks that fit through the arm and go through the wheels which is nice. Not as integrated as the Saris but easier than a cable. Quickrstuff also has a ramp that can be used and fits onto the rack for storage. Nice for heavy ebikes. The arm operation of the QuickrStuff takes some getting used to. It takes more pre-planning to load a bike although once learned it is not an issue. Easier on the Saris though.

Great information, thanks! Can you tell me the dimension of the racks from the reciever to the end or handle of each rack? It looks like the Saris is longer.

Was wondering if you had any plans on making a comparison video with the new kuat piston pro?

would you know how much weight max for each slot on saris and quickr and then the total weight, though concerned about no center support. - have a Sondors MXS with 3" and wouldnt it want to wobble. Are there secured locks available in case i walk in a grocery store. my bike naked is 65lbs with junk on it about 100lbs

I am a retired RVer. Not full time but only 3-4 times a year. I would buy the Quickr or 1up if the prices weren't so high. But using a bike rack only 3× a year doesnt seem to warrant those $1000 racks. So I will have to stick to the Hollywood or Swagmen type racks. Besides is the Quickr even RV approved?

I have a Prius so not much ground clearance. Racks with a long base that extends too far out from the hitch is out for me. Is the distance from hitch pin to the end of base that starts to curve up shorter on the Quikr than Saris MHS?

Can you move the wheel block to accommodate the bikes from running in the Saris?

Hey Clint, is QuikR still your favorite?

what car is under the cover ?

Hi Clint, I’m looking for a new trail helmet and noticed you wear a Outdoor Master and was wondering if maybe you could give us a quick review on it. Like what’s the actual weight and how well it breathes and comfort. You don’t hear too much about Outdoor Master.

Bike theft is rampant in my neck of the woods. Thieves have all the tools they need. No cable is even going to slow down Colorado Bike Thieves down. I simply NEVER leave my bike unattended.
