The bike frame adapter is well designed and works easily
by: Lauren 11/04/2022
this is a solid adapter bar, but sometimes sticks and is hard to open smoothly.
by: James 11/29/2021
Excellent add-on for keeping your hybrid bikes level and stable in the carrier. My wife and I both ride TREK Verve 2’s and find the the Saris bike beam helps in making loading and unloading our bikes much easier. We use the Saris Bones 2 rack on both of our Hondas.
by: Constance 11/30/2021
We recently purchased a step-thru E-bike. We needed an adapter bar to mount the bike on a carrier. This bike beam adjusts to the size we need, is VERY sturdy and well made. The grip ends are big enough to go around other areas of our bike frame as needed to reach the post on the carrier. Very pleased with product.

Works great--I bought it for my step-through bike, so that we can put it on our bike rack. Does the job.
by: Ray L04/12/2019
Easy to use. Has a very sturdy feel and works perfectly when mounting the kids bikes to the hauler.

Still works perfect after many uses and many miles.
Ray L - 04/14/2020by: Dr.07/03/2020
Typical superior Saris quality. These adapter rods are build like tanks and work exactly as expected. Highly recommended if you have odd shaped bikes that can't be mounted on a bike rack.
by: Rodney12/09/2021
This product made the bikes fit on the rack like a professional would.
by: Mary 10/02/2020
The Saris bike adapter bar works very well on my step through bike. It fits the frame and is rock solid. E-trailer provided excellent service and a quick delivery. Very happy customer.
by: Barbara M.05/05/2017
I have a girls bike and needed this in order to put my bike on the Saris bike carrier.
by: Joseph11/28/2017
So far so good, all we used it for right now was to mount the bike during the test fitting of rack. Hopefully we still like after actually using it.
by: Jean04/20/2022
It works great! Far superior to our old one.
by: Patrick04/27/2022
Works for what it was intended
by: Ron 12/11/2020
Excellent product for use in the bike rack. Great service by etrailer.
by: Linda S.12/25/2016
Bought Saris Bones 2 bike carrier for our new Honda CR-V to take our bikes to Florida for the winter. Also a support bar for my woman's bike. Received them in two days! Was really impressed not only with the speed of delivery, the quality of the product but also the email follow ups. Watched the etrailer instruction video on line which was most helpful.
by: Douglas Sutton05/04/2017
I purchased this bike rack for my wife and I. It is very well made and easy to install. I had it unpackaged and on my vehicle within 30 minutes. Ongoing removal and installation only takes me about 5 minutes. I purchased the Saris Beam Bike Frame Adapter for my wife's bike to make it easy to put her bike on the rack. I highly recommend it for transporting a woman's bike. Overall I've found this bike rack and adapter to be great products.
by: Marcie09/28/2020
Easy to use. I haven't used them while in transit yet. Makes the bikes easier to lift. I still can't get my daughters bike to fit but the problem is more the bike rake itself and not the beam. Looking forward to using them. I would recommend.
by: Christopher 05/10/2021
works as advertised!
etrailer staff provided exceptional customer service.
keep up the good work!!
by: Zhasmina09/28/2020
It is a great addition, however, I realized that I could have used my bike rack without it too. It definitely adds ease to the process though.
by: Denise 10/26/2020
Item we ordered was back-ordered and they very quickly communicated this to us and provided us alternatives. Shipping was quick, too. Overall excellent shopping experience. Would definitely purchase through etrailer.com again!
by: Dan 09/13/2021
A little finicky to work with, but you get used to it. Very robust. We had zero concerns using it for a 2500 mile road trip.
by: Charles 09/23/2021
Item was as Advertised. Adam did an excellent job following up on this order. Kudos to Adam!!
by: Cindy M.06/09/2017
The bar makes loading my woman's bike on the car rack much easier and it is more secure.
by: Mel08/13/2019

- Is Saris Bike Beam Frame Adapter Compatible With Electra Townie With Step Through FrameYes, the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SA3040 will work to carry the Electra Townie with step through frame on the Yakima KingJoe 3. You will need to lift the seat of the townie all the way up to give the bar space to hook to, the other side hooks to the handle bar stem and gives the bike a horizontal bar to hang from.
view full answer... - How To Use Saris Trunk Mount Bike Rack with Women's BikeIn order to use a women's bikes on the Saris Trunk Mount Bike Rack you'll need an adapter which is what allows the bikes to be carrier level since there is no horizontal cross tube to attach to. The Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040 is what I recommend. I have emailed you a link as well which lists all the manuals for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks.
view full answer... - Is Saris Adapter Bar # SA3004 Spring Loaded?The Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SA3040 uses a telescoping arm that locks into place to provide a mounting point for hanging style bike racks. Since it only needs to attach to the bike frame and is secured by the straps of the bike rack, you don't need any built-in tension or bungee cords to provide support. We do not offer any bike frame adapter bars that use spring loaded arms.
view full answer... - Will the Saris Solo 1 Bike Rack Fit a 2007 Audi A4 SedanAccording to Saris, the Solo 1 Bike Rack, # SA102, will fit your 2007 Audi A4 Sedan. This bike rack can support 1 bike up to 35 lbs. If you will be carrying a women's or alternative frame bike without the traditional horizontal top tube, then I strongly recommend picking up the Saris Bike Beam Adapter, # SA3040. Bikes with angled frames can cause ground clearance problems, especially on cars that have lower ground clearance than SUVs and vans. This adapter will allow you to mount your bike...
view full answer... - Does Saris Solo Bike Rack Fit 2013 Chevy Sonic HatchbackI checked with the manufacturer and the Saris Solo 1-Bike Carrier # SA102 will absolutely fit your 2013 Chevy Sonic hatchback perfectly! You will not need anything else to install the rack, though with any hanging bike rack, if your bike is dual-suspension or has a step-through frame you'll need Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SA3040 because it will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack. I've added...

- Trunk-Mounted 3 Bike Rack For 2019 Honda Pilot That Fits Women's And Children's BikesIt looks like you are referring to the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803, which is the trunk-mounted bike rack I would recommend for your 2019 Honda Pilot. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The top hooks do indeed attach to the top of the lift gate / trunk. As you can see in the video and photo I attached, the top hook simply inserts between the roof of your vehicle and the lift gate. This keeps the Saris Bones bike rack pulled tight against your vehicle. The hooks are vinyl coated...

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMGFor your 2020 Mercedes Benz GLC 43 AMG I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # SA803. This is a great quality bike rack that allows you to fold down the arms to save space when not in use. This is a 3 bike rack, however, your vehicle only allows for 2 bikes to be mounted at a time due to weight limit. So while you can only load 2 bikes, you can keep this rack for any future vehicle you have and will be able to load 3 bikes. This bike rack is also very easy to install...
view full answer... - Which Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Will Work With The 2021 Toyota Venza And 2020 Mazda CX-30?The only trunk-mount bike carrier that is currently compatible with your 2020 Mazda CX-30 and 2021 Toyota Venza is the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This is a very versatile 3-bike carrier which works on many different cars, hatchbacks, and SUV's. Rubber feat on the bottom of the carrier's arms protect your car's paint finish from any scratches or damage. If you plan on hauling a women's, children's, or step-thru bike then you will want to also grab an adapter bar such as # SA3040....
view full answer... - Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation For 2017 Kia SorentoI am partial to the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # SA803. I have used this rack on multiple cars to take cross country trips. I drove from St. Louis to California, and back, carrying two bikes. I also drove from Washington DC to St. Louis and back, carrying two bikes. I never had a problem with this rack on either trip. This rack carries your bikes via three straps, two for the top tube and one anti-sway cradle that prevents back and forth movement. This...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Solo Bike Carrier Work with Electra Townie BikeIt looks like most sub-models of the Electra Townie are under the 35 lb weight capacity of the Saris Solo Bike Carrier part # SA102 so it should work well but if you have a model with step-through frame (most do) then you will also need the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040.
view full answer... - How to Carry Bikes on a 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-350 CoupeI do have an option for you to carry bikes on your 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-350 BlueTEC but they do not make a trailer hitch receiver for the coupe models of this vehicle to my knowledge. Instead, you will want to look into getting a trunk mounted bike rack as this will be your only option besides a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack. For a trunk mounted bike rack, I recommend using the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL. This bike rack unlike most other trunk mounted bike racks uses...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity for Bike Frame Adapter Bar SA3040The weight capacity for the # SA3040 is 35 lbs which is the standard weight capacity for these adapter bars. It's also the same capacity as nearly all hanging bike racks as well. If you needed a higher weight capacity you'd need a platform style bike rack like the # SA4025F which has a capacity of 60 lb per bike.
view full answer... - How to Get Female Bike to Sit Level on the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BLTypically you will want to load the heavier or bigger bike first onto any bike rack. The same is true for the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL on your 2014 Honda CR-V. Since the female bike that you have does not have a horizontal cross tube (like it sounds like your male bike has), you will want to use an Adapter Bar # SA3040. This will clamp on the handle bar and seat posts of your female bike and allow you to secure it to the Saris Bones 2. These are also great to use for increased...
view full answer... - Will Saris Bones Truck Mount Rack Fit on 2013 Nissan Sentra with Flat TrunkI checked with my contact at Saris and the Bones trunk mount bike is a fit for your 2013 Nissan Sentra with low profile spoiler. Take a look at the video of this bike rack installed on a 2014 Chevy Cruze and you can see how it is installed on a flat trunk. You will have no problem clearing the low profile spoiler. Since you will be carrying bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) I recommend using bike adapter bar # SA3040. This...
view full answer... - Does the Saris Bones Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Nissan Altima CoupeI checked with Saris and the Bones truck mounted bike rack is listed as a fit for your 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe. Saris has some special fit notes for this bike rack and your vehicle. If your vehicle has a Narrow Bumper, use caution when placing bike rack bottom foot on bumper. NOTE: CENTER OF FOOT MUST NOT OVERHANG END OF BUMPER. Two bike, 70 pound load limit. Bikes must be located in positions closest to vehicle. I have included a link to a video review and instructions for the bike...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Bones 3 Fit a 2006 Scion xAYes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Scion xA and will work well for you. It has anti-sway cradles which will prevent both bike to bike and bike to vehicle contact in addition to rubber feet and hooks to protect the vehicle's finish. Please note that if you have any bikes with an alternative frame then you will also need to use an adapter bar like the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040. I have attached a sample install video...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Bones Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2006 Mini Cooper HatchbackI can tell you that Saris, the bike rack manufacturer, has confirmed that the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack, # SA805BL, will fit your 2006 Mini Cooper hatchback. The only fit issue that they note is with convertible models, which it doesn't sound like you have. We haven't had a chance to test this bike rack on a Mini Cooper yet, but Saris is pretty diligent about determining product fitment. The also have a fit note specifically for your vehicle that due to the narrow rear bumper to make sure...

If the frame exceeds this you'd need an adapter bar, the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040. The Saris Freedom will be your best option for the larger frame size.

- Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Fit For a 2020 Subaru CrosstrekThere is a really nice option for a trunk-mounted bike rack that is a fit for your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, which is from Saris: - Saris Bones 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # SA805BL The Bones is one of the nicest options for a trunk-mounted rack because it offers a great value; it is more economical than similar options without sacrificing anything in terms of quality. There aren't any 1-bike trunk-mounted racks so you will need to go with a 2-bike rack but the Bones will work great with just...

The strap attachments are not going to cause any type of issues as they are designed to securely hook on but are rubber and vinyl-coated to keep your Santa Fe completely protected.

- Roof Rack Availability for 2022 Lexus NX 350hCurrently, January 2023, there aren't any roof racks confirmed to fit your 2022 Lexus NX 350h, but if you're looking to transport some bikes we still have a solution with the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack # SA801BL. This is a trunk mount rack that installs to the back of your Lexus without the need of a roof rack or trailer hitch. The Saris Bones can hold up to 3 bikes weighing in at 35 lbs each. It holds them up using arms so if any of them have an alternative or step-thru frame you'll likely...

I also recommend the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SA3040 when you use this rack. I also recommend the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981 to secure your bikes to the rack and each other.
