Can it handle a mountain bike? Specifically a Specialized Hardrock 29er. I have a Saris and the rubber straps don't extend for enough.

I have a Specialized Expedition and the straps are plenty long enough with some to spare. I've had the bike rack for a year and it has accommodated several different bicycle styles without a problem.

yes, we use both specialized and Sette brand Mountain Bikes with no problems.

Yes. It can carry anything from 20"-29" wheel with no problem. My son's mountain bike has a 20" wheel and mine is a 26". Most beach cruisers have 26" wheels.

I have a Specialized Cruz mountain bike and it works fine. It attaches to your frame.

sorry not sure what a 29er is but if that is a mountain bike reference, then yes, it holds mountain bikes, side-by-side.

The "L" brackets at each end can be moved to accommodate any size bike. Yes to mountain bikes, that is what I carry. One of my bikes is a youth size.

Definitely not. It barely supports a heavy mountain bike. The tires will not spin,you'd end up riding out of it.

This rack fits standard mountain bike frames with tires 02 .25 inches, but if you mean the new very large and Fat tires I cannot say, also be aware that this rack might not accommodate Some bikes with disc brakes, my bike has disc brakes but it Fits okay but a little tricky to install. Very sturdy construction.

I have a standard 26" bike but I don't see why a 29er wouldn't fit...the tubes that hold the tires extend out pretty far.

I would not waste your money on this product. I'd strongly suggest an upgrade to the Bones. It works great and we love the secure feeling we have using it. According to Saris fit guide, your vehicle will accommodate the bike rack, check for yourself http://www.saris.com/en/vehicle-racks.html

I'm not 100% sure. My mountain bike has an axle that isn't compatible but I think with a small tire on it you should be fine. I have a 700 c road bike on it which is close and there is more room to adjust it

Yes, a 29er will fit. I just got my bike rack today and checked it with my 29" Mongoose; it fit just fine!

i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow. They were too narrow for my mountain 29er which does have fairly fat cross country tires(2.2?). However: i was able to expand these stabilizers wider by bending them open to make them 'fit', and now it works fine. You probably could do the same, although you'll have to widen more than i did. i was able to do it by hand(cuz i only needed a little bit more space) but you might have to exert a little more force for the 2.5s. i feel that it would be possible.

It will function with the bike but you won't be happy with the knobby tire on a mountain bike. A hybrid tire would be better

Check out MTBR.com. This product has been reviewed by MANY people there, and I'm pretty sure I remember some reviewers mentioning that they have SUVs. I have not used it yet, but I'm about to purchase one. From what I'm reading, it does look as though it would work very well on an SUV, as it seems to be very adjustable. The reviewers at MTBR.com also mentioned that Saris customer service is great, so maybe give them a call to answer your question. Happy riding!

I have two fairly high end mountain bike (Scott Spark 940 and Niner Air 9) and neither of these bikes are able to use the attachment. I haven't tried on my road bike but I am a little weary of hauling my kid on my carbon fiber road bike as I am not sure if the bike was designed for those type of forces.

Only if the Mamba has rack mount lugs up by the seat, and down by the back wheel. It should fit OK over the 29er wheel, but I can't tell from Trek's website whether the Mamba has rack mounts.

I don't know what a MTB 29 is. What I can tell you is that the hitch attachment simply attaches to the rear axle bolt of pretty much any bike.I am using it with a 27" Fuji bike that has center pull caliper brakes, and it works just fine.
