Saris Freedom 2-Bike Tilting Base
It's exactly what they say. It tilts forward 90-degrees so the rack will tuck a little closer to the vehical. It tilts backwards 45-degrees so you can open a rear hatch or tailgate. Now I can open the tailgate on my pickup truck without needing to take the rack off first. Like all Saris products, it is very sturdy and well made.

There is one thing to pay attention to. The handle marked "PULL" which lets you change positions must be firmly pushed in place. If it's not locked in place the rack could unexpectedly shift from upright to 45-degree tilt. I always give it a pop with the palm of my hand to make sure it locks when I want the rack upright.

The last thing I have to say is I wish Saris made this an option for new Freedom-2 racks. Nothing against Nashbbar. Saris, are you listening?
