Note: This dual-arm rack reduces the need for a bike frame adapter bar (sold separately) to mount a children's, women's, or alternative frame bicycle. However, to mount certain bikes or to keep your bike level on the rack, a bike adapter bar may be required. Most step-through bikes, dual-suspension bikes, and small children's bikes will require a bike adapter bar.
The sleek and sturdy Bones EX lets you carry 3 bikes on the back of your vehicle. It has all the great features as the popular Bones rack and adds expanded, dog legs that allow the rack to fit over most large spoilers. It also has an integrated strap management system that keeps the tie-down straps from flapping while you are driving.
Expanded Base with Dog Legs
The Bones EX will fit on more types of vehicles than the Bones. It has an expanded, dog leg design on the upper 2 legs that allows the rack to fit over most spoilers.
Individually Adjustable Arched Arms
The Bones EX has dual injection-molded plastic arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. The adjustable arms accommodate women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes and keep them level on the rack. The arms are arched to allow your bikes to hang at different heights for optimal ground clearance and to prevent your handlebars and pedals from tangling.
The adjustable arms are mounted on a horizontal tube with grooves that allow the arms or legs to lock in place. To raise or lower an arm simply slide it to the center of the horizontal tube where it's smooth, rotate arm to desired position, and slide it back along the grooves to the edge of the rack.
You can fold the arms down when the rack is not in use. This frees up space for you to park in your garage without removing the rack from your vehicle.
Ratcheting Anti-Sway Cradles
Rubber, anti-sway cradles with spring-loaded ratchet straps firmly grip your bike's frame at 3 points, helping to prevent front-to-back sway. This minimizes bike-to-bike and bike-to-car contact during transit.
Easy Installation
The rack is easy to set up on your trunk or hatch. First, use the black turn knob at the end of each support leg to loosen them from their positions on the center bar. Then, slide them from their place on the integrated grooves out to the smooth section of the bar. Adjust the legs to a position that will best fit your trunk. Then slide them back over the grooves to hold them in your desired position. Use the black turn knob to tighten them down.
Place the lower padded legs above your bumper and the upper padded legs on your upper trunk or hatch. The rubber pads protect your paint and are slip-resistant to help prevent the rack from shifting during transit.
6 Extra-long nylon straps anchor the rack in place on your trunk or hatch with steel hooks. The hooks have a vinyl coating to prevent scratches and scuffs and are individually labeled to indicate where each hook should be placed for a proper install. Each strap has an easy-to-use ladder-lock buckle to tighten it in place.
There are grooves built into the legs that prevent the straps from flapping while you are driving. Simply run the straps through the grooves while you are setting the rack up on your vehicle.

This bike rack is perfect for our Kia carnival minivan. Very sturdy and does not put pressure on the back of the van.

2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
Great product so far! Easy to install and adjust. A little tricky to load 2 large handlebar mountain bikes and a third smaller bike, but we just turned them sideways with the front wheels taken off. We had racks on bikes which were probably the impediment. We got them on though! Love how it folds up easy for quick storage. Works great on 2014 Subaru Outback.

Fits great on my Lexus NX but I’m worried about the bottom legs. Instructions doesn’t say if the bottom feet should be on the rear bumper or trunklid. I placed it on the top rear bumper but because of the limited space, the feet is not fully set in. I didn’t place it on the trunklid because I didn’t feel like the trunklid was strong enough to withhold the rack and bikes without possibly making a dent.
Also, I searched everywhere but my saris came missing one of the bottom hooks. Had to use side hooks instead because I had to get the huggers for the top and side straps.

Thanks for your review! Customer service should be reaching out to you in the near future about the missing hook. As for the placement, it looks like you did it correctly based off the picture.

Very efficient delivery and great customer service!
by: Jon01/06/2021
It works! Very versatile rack that works on a lot of different vehicles so it took a little fiddling to get right, but it work great on my 2021 Civic Sport Hatch. A little “plasticy” for my tastes but fit and finish appear to be satisfactory. etrailer as usual was spot on with shipping and customer service.

Good bike rack. Instructions weren't the best but you get used to doing it your own way. Hope it doesn't scratch the car too bad.

Great!!
by: Greg08/02/2022
Great bike rack! I've had it for a year and it is still working well (for the most part). Easy to mount on the trunk of my Honda. The only issue (not etrailer.com's fault) is that one of the mounts broke on the first use. For warranty repair, I contacted the Saris company directly. Turns out one of my bikes was just less than a pound above the maximum weight rating (because I added a bike rack) and they refused to honor the warranty. Seems like there would be a margin of error in a rating like that (and bit of flexibility and understanding - the part broke because the mount was flawed). Superglue fixed the problem, but I was disappointed with Saris.
by: Jacqueline08/18/2021
I’m not happy with this purchase. I have 3 bikes and one of them is heavy. That’s the one I put on first and then the other two. Unfortunately one day I was driving with the bikes to the park which is a five minute drive the arms on the rack started to slip. I don’t use it to drive long distance afraid that it may fall off and cause an accident.

It sounds like either, your bike is too heavy this 3 bike carrier can only hold 35 lbs per bike or something is not attached right. Stabilizing straps help with bike tire wiggle which may cause the rack to swing around or finding an adapter bar for childrens or step through bikes so that they are stable on the rack.

Fits perfect on 2020 Chevy Equinox. Super easy install.

Subaru Forester
The Saris Bones EX3 Bike Rack has worked very well for me, proving to be stable and secure in carrying two or three cycles. It's a bit challenging to install on my Subaru Forester due to the vehicles special need to capture the side retainers inside the vehicle, but once installed it may provide some security from theft.
by: Emily09/09/2021
Easy to adjust and install. Stays put and the bikes are secure. Doesn't really fit my VW Alltrak that well. The metal hooks for the side straps do not fit unless they are used on the rear window so I have to use the bottom straps on the sides and the sides on the bottom. Also not the best fit for mtn. bikes that don't have big open frames. Road bikes would be fine.
by: Dave B11/12/2020
It works great when I carry 2 bikes on the outside 2 racks. When I used the rack closest to the car to carry 3 bikes there were minor scratches.
by: Peter06/13/2021
I am very pleased with the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack. This bike rack is well designed and built to a high quality level. I am also very pleased with etrailer.com. Their website is easy to navigate, there is plenty of information about the products and the bike rack was delivered ahead of schedule. I highly recommend etrailer.com

This is a well built, sturdy and durable bike rack that is easy to use and folds up nicely for storage.

The web page was very helpful in selecting the right bike rack. Very informative on installation.
Great follow up on order and delivery.
Plus the Saris Bones is made in the USA and shipped from a USA supplier.

2016 Honda HR-V
I ordered the rack on the website after doing research and deciding that this model was the best for my HRV. It was delivered on time just as projected. I took it out of the box and it was ready to go. I mounted it on my car per the direction which was very easy and you can see it’s a very sturdy unit. I haven’t tried it with my bike yet but I have no doubt based on how it fits the car that it will work well.

At first I was skeptical about using this bike rack but it held true and beat my expectations. I’d definitely buy this again and highly recommend it!
by: Gene 09/17/2020
After a great deal of figuring out which frame will work for my car and me messing up I got great help from the staff. Ashley took my last call and we decided on this rack. Just got it, very sturdy and instructions are fairly easy to figure out. Can’t wait to get on the road.

Easy to install and adjust to different frame types. One of the few racks available for the Toyota Highlander so highly recommended.

Sturdy! No problem holding three bikes. Easy to take on and off car too. Have Rouge Sport and not many options to fit vehicle. So glad I found this model.

- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport TouringA trunk mounted bike rack would be your best option to carry bikes with your 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback like the Saris Bones EX part # SA803 which is a confirmed fit. This rack allows you to easily carry up to 3 bikes securely and allows you to avoid having to mess with install of a hitch. I attached a review video for more info on this as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Honda 2020 CR-V Hybrid with SpoilerI have two great options for you. The first is the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL. It also comes in a three-bike version # SA803. They are great with cars with spoilers due to their arched feet that act as an extra support for the straps that go up and over your spoiler. My next recommendation is the Yakima Fullback 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 and the three-bike version # Y02633. This is a very sturdy and easy to use bike rack. It also comes with a cable lock for extra protection. The FullBack...

- Is Saris Bones EX Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Easier to Install than Other Bike RacksDue to how lightweight the Saris Bones EX # SA803 is and how easy to install I would confidently say that this rack would be easier to install on your 2020 Nissan Altima than what you have now. This rack only weighs 11 lbs. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

The Saris Bones EX 3 bike Rack # SA803 has a maximum weight capacity of 35lbs per bike which is likely not enough as most electric bikes weight from 50-70lbs depending on the brand and accessories added. A trunk mounted bike rack that will support the weight of two electric bikes does not exist. I know this is not the route...
view full answer... - What 3-Bike Trunk Rack Will Fit a 2020 Subaru Forester?The Forester went through a generation change after 2018, and Thule has determined that the Passage # TH911XT is not a confirmed a fit for your 2020 Subaru Forester. I have two other options I can recommend for you. The first is the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. I'm a big fan of their arched design that allows it to fit on a larger variety of vehicles. For your trunk, you'd need to use the # SA3035 hatch straps instead of the included side hooks. My second recommendation is the Yakima Fullback...

I checked with our vehicle fit team and they did not see any issues. You can use the EX3 with your Forester even if it has an electric liftgate. While you can use this rack on a vehicle with a liftgate, it is still not recommended to USE the liftgate when the rack is installed. The rack is especially designed not only to fit on a liftgate, but too also...

- Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2006 BMW 3 Series ConvertibleFor your 2006 BMW 3 series convertible, we have a 3-bike trunk rack confirmed to fit but the Malone Hanger 3 # MPG2139 is not the one. Take a look at the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. Like the Hanger, it has adjustable arms and nd anti-sway straps to keep your bikes stable during transport. The Bonex EX is a bit beefier though, and can carry bikes up to 35 lbs each. You will also want a bike adapter bar # SA3040 for any step-thru frames for level transport. I recommend the Thule...

This bike rack is specifically made to work well with the spoiler on the back of your Odyssey to ensure there is no contact with that spoiler. Other rack options drape over the spoiler and could cause issues with the spoiler bearing too much weight and the possibility of being damaged. This rack has the customizable fit to work very well...

Instead, you have two options to choose from: - Saris Bones EX 3-Bike Rack # SA803 - Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633 Of these three options I really like the FullBack the best because it comes with security to lock your bikes to the rack and lock the rack to your vehicle, something the other racks don't have.

The Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack, part # SA803, is confirmed to fit your RAV4 and can hold three bikes. It utilizes straps to mount to the hatch, making it very easy to install. I've linked to a video review of this rack for you to look at.
view full answer... - Does the Saris Bones Fit on a 2020 Honda CR-V Touring EditionI can see why this might be confusing! I can assure you that the Saris Bones # SA805BL (2 bike) and Bones EX 3 # SA803 (3 bike) are both confirmed fits on your 2020 Honda CR-V Touring model, and they're both great choices. The Bones and Bones EX have anti-sway cradles that will eliminate bike to bike and bike to car contact, so you won't have to worry about your new car getting scratched up. I've linked a review video of the Bones for you to have a look at, if you haven't already.

Since the Hatch Huggers have a length of a little over 6 feet, it will give you plenty of length to get that secure, tight fit. I went ahead and attached the picture to show you that the Hatch Huggers can attach to the side strap buckles.

A better 3-bike rack choice from the folks at Sarris Bones EX 3 Bike Carrier # SA803 which is designed to work with your spoiler. The linked video shows this rack in use. If you'd like to add a cable lock to secure your bikes you can use part # e98891.

For your application I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT25GR because of the 2" hitch receiver, and using a 3-bike hitch rack like the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10004-10005 to carry your bikes....
