Product Description
Got a more family oriented mode of transportation? Then the Sentinel three-bike trunk rack from Saris is for you. Designed to carry bicycles on vehicles with atypical body styles such as hatchbacks, sedans and passenger vans. It can be mounted over most spoilers or lighting arrays, and carries up to three bikes. Made with adjustable arms that can be mounted securely in multiple positions, and they can also fold flat for storage. The hold-downs secure each bike independently and keep them crashing into one another or wobbling while in transit. The hooks that secure the rack to the trunk seam are neoprene coated so they won't scratch your car's finish, and the bottom bar brace has a vinyl covered foam pad to separate the rack from your trunk lid. No assembly is required.

This rack works great! I was not ready to invest in a hitch for my car and tried a few different trunk racks before getting this one. The six straps really help to keep the rack secure...make sure you tighten them before AND after you load the bikes. There is plenty of room for three bikes with the adjustable length arms and the individual straps to secure the bikes are much more secure than I thought they would be after my first glance. I did not feel the need to use bungee cords in addition to the straps...but might for longer car trips. This rack also fits very well over my spoiler. Great value for a trunk rack!

I purchased the more expensive Yakima Super Joe 3 rack but was disappointed when I learned that it didn't fit my Chrysler Pacifica. I checked bike stores and they only had the high end Saris Bones and Thelma racks--which weren't recommend for my car either. I was very happy to find the Saris Sentinel. At $70, it was only half the price of the racks sold in stores and, including shipping, was less than the Yakima rack that I initially purchased. I took one star away because getting the straps situated the first few times was pretty challenging.

I am difinitely not happy with this product. I attached it to my Outback station wagon and put one bike on it. Before I had gone far the straps had loosened and the bike was bumping up and down. It was dangerous. I stopped at a rest area and adjusted the straps again and tied them into knots to avoid this problem. The clasps should have teeth to dig into the straps to stabilize the rack. I still don't feel comfortable about using the rack and always watch it as I am driving. Who wants to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great value, sturdy design November 12, 2008

I used this bike rack when I moved across the country. I drove over 1600 miles with two bikes on the back and the rack held up great. It's easy to put on and take off - the straps are clearly labeled which is a huge plus, the foam is thick on the parts that touch the car, and I haven't had any problems with the straps loosening. The manual does tell you to knot them so they don't pull loose.
My only real concern is how the bikes attach to the rack... the straps have held up fine so far, but they don't give me the greatest level of confidence.. seems like there could have been a better design in there. Also, not really a plus or a minus, is that the bike supports aren't stationary - so you can't prevent the bike from sliding down the bar once you put it on. However, this allows you to adjust the width if you have a really wide bike, so it has it's advantages as well.
