EXCELENT



by:

Perfect solution for ebikes to clamp bike carrier to bike for transporting.



by:

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:

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:

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.



by:

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:

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.



by:

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:

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:

As described very fast shipping



by:

this is a solid adapter bar, but sometimes sticks and is hard to open smoothly.



by:

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:

works as advertised!
etrailer staff provided
exceptional customer service.

keep up the good work!!



by:

Works great--I bought it for my step-through bike, so that we can put it on our bike rack. Does the job.



by:

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:

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:

This product made the bikes fit on the rack like a professional would.



by:

This solved the problem associated with mounting women’s bikes that don’t typically have a top rail. Perfectly solved the problem.



by:

This bar has worked great on my non-standard bikes.



by:

Excellent product for use in the bike rack. Great service by etrailer.



by:

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:

So easy to use and adjust to fit on our bikes and bikes rack.



by:

The bar makes loading my woman's bike on the car rack much easier and it is more secure.



by:

I have a girls bike and needed this in order to put my bike on the Saris bike carrier.



by:

Works. Helps keep my wife's bike level on the bike mount.

  • Will The Thule OutWay 3 Fit A 2011 Lexus RX 350
    I do have a solution for you. While the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV is not a confirmed fit for your 2011 Lexus RX 350. My recommendation would be the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This rack is sturdy, capable of carrying 3 bikes at 33 lbs each and yet is still lightweight at 11 lbs which makes mounting to your Lexus easier. Saris provides a limited lifetime warranty as well so they stand behind their product quality. If you're transporting kids or alternative frame bikes,...

  • What 2-Bike Trunk Rack Fits Both My 2013 Hyundai Elantra and My 2021 Mazda CX-5?
    From your recent searches on etrailer, it looks like you are looking for a trunk-mounted rack that fits on your 2013 Hyundai Elantra and your 2021 Mazda CX-5. For a great fit between both vehicles, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR. It comes with a 35-pound maximum per-bike weight capacity and is 100% made in the U.S.A. The Bones EX 2 fits all submodels of Elantra (Coupe, Sedan, GT hatchback) as well as your 2021 Mazda CX-5. You will...

  • 2022 Honda CR-V Fitment with Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack
    The Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR is a fit for all models of the 2022 Honda CR-V so it'll work great for your EXL Hybrid! Please note that your CR-V should have a function where the rear wiper turns on when you have the wipers active and you put your vehicle in reverse. Be sure to turn your wipers off prior to backing up so the rear wiper doesn't hit the bike rack and damage both of them. Also, if any of your bikes doesn't have a horizontal top tube you'll need to use an adapter...

  • How to Get Female Bike to Sit Level on the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL
    Typically 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...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Toyota Highlander with Spoiler
    The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL is designed to fit most spoilers thanks to its arched shape so it will work great with your 2019 Toyota Highlander with a spoiler. We've received plenty of positive feedback from previous customers that have used the Saris Bones on their vehicles with factory spoilers. Between the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL and the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2, the Saris Bones is certainly a more lightweight and user friendly option. # SA805BL is made out of...

  • How To Use Saris Trunk Mount Bike Rack with Women's Bike
    In 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.

  • Does Saris Solo Bike Rack Fit 2013 Chevy Sonic Hatchback
    I 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...

  • What Hitch and Bike Rack do You Recommend for My 2022 Toyota Prius?
    Yes! I am happy to confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11473 fits on all models of 2022 Toyota Prius. For your two children's bikes, I recommend the Saris Bones Hitch 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA882. One of the great features about the Bones is that the cradles are mounted at different levels on the rack which prevents tangled handlebars and pedals. Also, apart from its 35-pound per-bike weight capacity, the Bones is 100% made in...

  • What Is The Best Bike Adapter Bar For My Mountain Bike
    I had a chance to test out several of our adapter bars just the other day. Out of all of them, I found my favorite to be the Saris Bike Beam # SA3040. The bar itself was a bit lighter than others, but it seemed to be the most sturdy. It was easy to telescope and adjust. I really liked that the clamps open parallel with the bar, this helped to avoid tangling with seat and handlebars during installation. Once I got the hang of how to operate the clamps, it was extremely easy to install.

  • Will the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar Work with Lectric XP 2.0 E-Bike
    If you're using the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040 on a Lectric XP 2.0 E-Bike with a platform style rack then there will be no issues but if you're using it on a hanging style rack then you will be way over capacity. The hanging style racks won't work with e-bikes anyhow due to capacity. If the handlebar post and seat post are between 19-25" apart then fit won't be an issue. If you need a platform style rack, the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG
    For 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...

  • Are There Trunk Mounted Bike Racks That Fit a 2018 Toyota Highlander
    Yes, we do. I recommend using the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL, which is a confirmed fit on your 2018 Toyota Highlander and provides you with a sleek and durable trunk mounted rack that is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty. The Bones has adjustable arms with anti-sway straps that keep your bikes stable during transport and will be able to carry 2 mountain bikes without issue. If one of your bikes is a women's bike then you'll also likely need to use the Saris Bike Beam Bike...

    Good news! We have a two 3-bike trunk racks that will fit on your 2019 Ford EcoSport. First we have the Saris Guardian 3-bike rack # SAR43FR. This is quick and easy to install and remove and it folds flat for storage. It has a capacity to carry bikes that weigh 35 pounds each. We also have the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633. This rack is also quick and easy to install and remove. I would recommend this rack over the Saris because it has adjustable arms that have SuperCush anti-sway...

  • Will Saris Bones Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Put Stress on Glass of 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
    The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL will not put any additional stress on the glass of your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe because it's weight is spread out and is not forced down on the glass. 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. In regards to rain, it will not leak whatsoever inside your car if you have the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL...

  • Trunk Bike Rack for 2010 Honda Fit Sport with Spoiler

I can recommend another similar bike rack, the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. The Saris Bones EX 2 would also fit your car, but we only have the 3-bike version of the EX series. This bike rack is designed for more compatibility with other types of cars and spoilers. It has similar features to the Thule Passage, but I personally really like how the Saris with...

    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.

    I 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.

Your traveling speed won't be restricted at all. You may also want a bike adapter bar like # SA3040 for any step-thru style frames and Saris Protect-O-Pads for Bike Racks - Qty 4 # SA2060 for the best ride.

Since your E-bike has a alternative frame style you will need to use Adapter # S57FR if from the seat post to the handle bars is 25" - 31", or the # SA3040 if this distance is 19" - 25".

The Thule Passage will not fit your Gran Sport Version of the 440i. I recommend getting the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 to ensure that no one will run off with your bikes.

If you are planning to use women's bikes, children's bikes, or step-thru bikes, I recommend using the Saris Bike Beam # SA3040 to make sure they attach to the arms of the rack.
