Bones EX 3-Bike Trunk Rack Bicycle Carrier, Durable, Rust-Free, Anti-Sway Straps, Fits Most Vehicles, Made in USA, Arc-Based Design, 100% Recyclable Materials

Most of the “Best Bike Racks” articles online point to hitch racks. But this one is great for SUVs without one. Smaller kids bikes don’t fit perfectly on there but I made it work. Fortunately, my kids are upgrading to bigger bikes soon so it will be a non-issue. The rack itself feels sturdy and the arms come down easily when I’m riding around without the bikes. It can be a little tricky installing the rack by yourself but provide super simple with another set of hands to help. Overall, a good rack that does the job - would definitely recommend.

I'm completely satisfied with this rack. I have a 2022 Mazda CX-30 and it attached perfectly and securely. I have an XL size mountain bike and it fits no problem, no rattle or sway. The only complaint is the caps holding the straps in the center tube could be designed better. They broke after the first use and didn't stay tight prior to breaking. Still happy with my purchase and would recommend to any friends.

I need to edit my review. OLD REVIEW: The metallic hooks already started to wear out, and the side strap locks keep getting loose. If you’re transporting your bike on a short trip, then this would be okay. But I’ve used a different bike rack for car from a different brand that lasted a LONG TIME and the only reason why I bought this Saris is so I can fit 3 bikes. I decided to switch back to my old rack because this just doesn’t seem to be as safe as my old one. Also, my previous rack is mainly metallic, so it’s much stronger for heavier bikes. I ride a steel mountain bike which is on the heavier side, and the Saris rack only has a 35 lbs per bike capacity. I also don’t have the time to keep putting it on my car and taking it off when I’m not using it. The Saris seems to wear out way faster than my old rack because I keep it on even when I’m not using it. UPDATED REVIEW: I think I was being a little unfair giving the negative review. After all, Saris did disclose that the weight capacity for each bike is 35 lbs, and it did say in the manual that this item should NOT be mounted when not being used. That being said, don’t be surprised if straps do become loose over time if you leave it on the trunk while not being used. This rack is not meant to be a replacement for a hitch bike rack. I feel like this rack is suitable for occasional cyclists. For regular cyclists like me, I’d rather spend the extra money to get a hitch rack. Did this rack do the job for its intended purpose?? Yes! When I actually use it with my bike on, it’s a great and secure rack. But if you continue to leave it on the car while not being used, this rack won’t last long. Also, I have a steel mountain bike that weighs over 35 lbs without water bottles and bags, so this rack would not be ideal.

I used this to take 3 bikes from Los Angeles to Yosemite, around 500 miles. The bike rack was easy to install. It effectively held 3 bikes. It did require 2 people to get the bikes loaded. 1 person could probably do it alone but it would require some wrestling. It did not rattle, flap, or squeak while driving at 65mph on the highway. Do not that if you have a beach cruiser or any bike which doesn't have a frame with a straight top tube you will need an adaptor to use this rack. I separately bought an adaptor for my cruiser and it worked with out further issue.

This is by far the worst carrie I've ever used. Starting with pre-sale customer support from Saris: I contacted them by email as their website did not have the neccessary information. They replied several days later with an automated response that they they would look into my enquiry and follow up. The follow-up was an apology that the automated response took longer than usual. Nothing of my original fit questions. When the carrier arrived, the strap assembly was wadded up and thrown in the box. The instructions gave no clue how to attach the assembly to the carrier. I had to scour the internet looking as photos to find that it goes through the center tube. Once assembled, attaching to the vehicle tailgate was fairly straightforward, but took a fair bit of time since it balances on the gate and doesn't sit on the bumper or trunk. The instructions are nearly useless. The whole process took about 45 minutes. After adjusting the carrier to fit my BMX race bike, the carrier slid down the gate. It turns out the straps were fed through backwards and worked their way loose. Even after correctly routing the straps the carrier worked loose. Had to knot the straps. Wirh the carruer secured to the vehicle, the knobs that secure the legs come loose with road vibration. Bikes are difficult to put on. Im carrying two race bikes and had to move the arms inward to fit the bike frame. I cant see trying to fit three bikes on the carrier, even if they are small ones without damaging the bikes or vehicle. Weight isnt an issue with these bikes. The plastic buckles are cheaply made and nearly fall apart sliding them together. I don't think they have a long expectancy. I would not recommend this carrier for any application that mounts to a tailgate or for any small framed bikes, BMX or kids. This is better suited to a purely trunk mount and with the almost entirely plactic construction it doesn't seem like it will last with daily use. Spend the money and have a receiver installed on a compact SUV and use a hitch mount carrier.

I bought these to carry our 2 HeyBike Race e-Bikes. We carry one bike on each carrier. You might ask why not use a hitch carrier to carry both? I have a 2021 Hyundai Sonata. My wife has a 2021 Kia K5. The cars will only take a class 1 hitch. By the time you put the 2 e-Bikes (56 lbs each without battery) and a carrier with enough guts to carry them in a class 1 hitch, you have most likely already met or exceeded the max tongue weight before you even drive an inch. Way too much weight to put on the roof. Most roof racks won't hold the weight of the bikes and carriers anyway. I read about people buying these to carry 1 bike, so I thought I would take the plunge. Saris said this would not work on my car. Ummm...it works like a champ on my car. It cinches down solid! I put y single 56 lb bike (70lb max for 2) on the back position of the rack, and strapped it down, including the anti-sway on the downtube. I drove around town...all over, actually. The bike did not move at all! No stress on the trunk or bumper. no bouncing. just a nice solid carry for my bike. Soooo much easier than dropping the back seats, taking off the front tire just so it will barely fit in the trunk? Those days are done. Seems well made. But I wouldn't leave it on my car for the sun to bake on that plastic and webbed strapping all year long. But it seems to be of good enough quality that if you don't abuse it, it should give you good like expectancy.

I bought the 3-bike version because of its higher weight tolerance but I wouldn't load more than two unless one is a child's bike. I'm not saying that it can't do it but I just didn't get that good feeling- lots of bouncy bounce on that outer-most rung in the driveway. My first rack had some hairline cracks in both arms at the same point in their arch so I sent it back as the box it came in was damaged as well. My second one looked good and operated very well. After two 100 mile trips, one in the rain and one in the dry, I experienced no problems but I will say that I highly recommend that after loading the bikes, pull-over a mile or two down the road and tighten things up one more time. No fault of the device but things loosen up from the shifting of the bikes and the swaying of the vehicle. For me, the side and bottom straps had slop in them even though I tightened them well in the driveway. After that, everything remained tight. One other thing, there are anti-sway straps under the arms that can be forgotten but those are pretty much hit and miss in terms of lining up or conforming to the style bike you have. They didn't work for me, not even close, but I didn't really need them. Buy plenty of bungee cords instead- you'll need them. I'll update in a year. Update 5/24/2024: After a year of use, about 40 trips, no problems whatsoever. Great product. Btw- I use to go through the hassle of removing and stowing it inside the vehicle on quick trips to the trail and then came to my senses and attached a cable lock to it instead.

New out of box and one of the bike frame attachment point tensioner was already broken. The assembly is held to the strap with a very flimsy flared tube. Pretty bummed to have one strap failed immediately. The box did have a QA checked flyer. I can swap the strap out thankfully but im not happy to have spent so much on something that I already have to repair.

The top straps on this rack can be positioned high enough so that they don’t put any pressure on my car’s fragile “sporty extra” plastic spoiler (VW Golf GTD). The rack is solid, fairly easy to fit, adjust and remove, and even though I’ve fitted high it holds the bikes at an easy to reach level. It also stays put and thanks to the rubberised parts hasn’t caused any scratches on the bodywork. It’s far better than the cheap metal frame style rack I used to have, I’m glad I upgraded.

Compré el soporte de 3 bicicletas para usarla con 2 grandes y evitar que se rayen entre sí, entran sin problema dos bicicletas grandes y una pequeña. La calidad de los materiales es buena y el armado es fácil, espero que sea resistente, sobre todo en las correas que son las que soportan todo el peso. Los broches que amarran a las bicicletas son grandes, eso permite que bicis con tubos grandes en los marcos entren sin problema y queden bien aseguradas(a diferencia de otros racks). Para las bicis que uso, (Trek Marlin) No fue necesario comprar tubos adicionales para poderla montar al rack. Mi única queja es que las correas no quedan puestas correctamente sobre el rack, quedan mal puestas y no hay manera de ponerlas correctamente ya que el peso las vence. Completamente recomendado.

No especifica bien para qué coche europeo es compatible y la devolución es un suplicio. Te dan una etiqueta que consiste en que tú mandas el soporte de vuelta a USA pagando los gastos de envío (más de 100€). En mi opinión un timo en toda regla.

Le produit a l’air de bonne qualité paraît robuste mais j’ai du le renvoyer car il ne convient pas à ma voiture dommage

Excellent produit, facile à installer et à enlever, solide ,supporte mes deux vélos de façon sécuritaires, j'ai un toyota rav4 et 2014 fit très bien ,je le recommande .
