Saris Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack Bicycle Carrier, Durable, Rust-Free, Anti-Sway Straps, Made in USA, Arc-Based Design, 100% Recyclable Materials

I bought the bones two bike trunk rack for my 2025 Caddy CT4. Fit like a glove, solid on the trunk, good quality plastic, quality straps, and never worry about my bike falling off. Had a problem with one strap not wanting to let go. Contacted customer service and within a week I had a new arm delivered. The strap cannot be changed out because is is sealed at the factory. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

I purchased this to carry road bikes. This is a very high quality product that is worth the price. For practice I just mounted this rack on my 2013 Hyundai Genesis and then on my Cadillac CTS 4. Neither of these vehicles are allowed to get a scratch. That was the main requirement. The rack definitely passes the no-scratch test for the three pads that touch your trunk and bumper. You could probably drive a few hundred miles without any abrasion under the three main pads. I will probably put a decent coat of wax under the pads anyway. The straps are a very sturdy design. There is plenty of extra strap. They are easy to latch down and loosen. I think they will survive a long trip if they are strapped according to the instructions. The buckles are metal, which is a good idea. The rungs that hold the bike are well designed. They are easy to use once you get used to how they work. The anti-sway rung is a very nice touch. Many other racks make you deal with keeping the bike from swaying. I want to share a mistake that I made during my first installation that you should try to avoid. On my first install, I put the top pad as far back on the trunk lid as I could. It was near where the trunk lid meets the back window of the car. This configuration allows the inner bike's inner pedal to strike the back trunk lid, and also allows the strap buckles to strike the surface of the lid. The solution is to move the top pad toward the back of the car a few inches (away from the back window). Just rotate the top spar downward until the spars that hold the bike are further from the car. It is that simple. The first time you install this rack, it might take you 20 minutes. The second time you install it will take 5 minutes. Once you figure it out, the rack is very easy to install. Taking it off the trunk takes a minute or two. As is probably true for most racks, it is our responsibility to keep the front wheel from turning and flopping in the wind. I would love it if racks had some way we could lock the front wheel down. It would be a nice touch if these racks came with the Saris straps to take care of that (they have them). For now, I am going to use a bungee cord to keep the front wheel still.

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.

Ready to set up but could take 2 goes to get it spot in the first time. Easy to attach to the car. I have a Mercedes E220 saloon and it fits well. I would be concerned about the metal clips on the bit edges chipping or making the paint after time but it’s ok presently. It’s tricky putting on the two bikes but practice will make perfect.

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.

Works perfectly well with a VW Taigo!

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.

Buen producto
