A new ramp and lighting option add ease of use and safety features

MADISON, Wis., March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Saris, manufacturer of world-class bike racks, trainers, storage and bicycle parking products, announced the expansion of its Modular Hitch System (MHS) lineup with the addition of two new components that offer even more customization options for riders – the MHS Ramp and MHS Lighting. Compatible with existing MHS set-ups, the new Ramp makes loading and unloading bikes, particularly heavier e-bikes, easier than ever while the new Lighting keeps riders safer whether they are carrying one bike or four. Following the release of the Cargo Basket and UNO Tray last year, this spring's new MHS accessories exemplify Saris' commitment to making riding more accessible for all riders.

"We've consistently added new offerings to our MHS line to ensure that no matter your preference, there will be an MHS set up that is perfect for you and your riding experience," said Kellen Pagel, Saris Product Manager. "We always want riders to be safe while traveling with their bikes and also want to offer the growing base of e-bike users a solution so they can focus on the ride rather than the loading experience."

MHS Ramp

Designed with the e-bike enthusiast in mind, the new MHS Ramp (MSRP $189.99) makes heavy lifting and awkward bike loading a thing of the past. The USA-made ramp easily connects to any MHS DUO Tray and allows the user to roll bikes weighing up to 80 lbs. onto their MHS hitch rack. The Ramp extends up to 80 inches for hitches up to 32 inches high and also collapses after loading for easy storage.

MHS Lighting

The new MHS Lighting (MSRP $189.99) will provide additional safety and ensures that vehicle lights remain visible while on the road. Compatible with all MHS bases, the 4-Flat pin connection provides power to a set of DOT-certified and FMVSS108-compliant powerful LED lights that work with the vehicle equipment including the brake signal, turn signals, hazards and taillights. The wiring is specifically designed to fit within MHS Base to keep it out of the way and safely stored while traveling. The MHS Lighting comes with a 4-Flat to 4-Square pin accessory.
