ABOUT SARIS CYCLING GROUP

American Built

Saris Cycling Group, the company behind CycleOps Power Products and Saris Bike Racks is based in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. In a complex that was originally a farmhouse sits a manufacturing plant, a 12 member engineering staff, showroom and some 300 employees.

Italian Design
Saris Cycling Group brings cutting edge design into its products by way of Fabio Pedrini, lead designer who blends art and engineering in the development of products.

Saris introduced the Pedrini designed Bones rack in 1996 and the Bones rack continues to earn its reputation as an easy to use bike rack.

Patrick Walters, Director of New Business Ventures for the Saris Bike Rack division, said, "Saris innovated new designs for its bike racks. The 'Thelma' is our newest model and represents the best in class for durability, lightweight and ease of use.

"The Thelma is a U-shaped rack which means that anyone, short or tall, can walk into the rack and place a bike on it. There’s no need to hold up the bike and that means you can tighten the straps without worrying that the bike will fall off," he said. "We completely eliminated an entire awkward step."
