2009 Honda Civic - Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount
- 2 Bikes
- Adjustable Arms
- Saris
- Hanging Rack
- 6 Straps
- Frame Mount - Anti-Sway
- Fits Most Factory Spoilers
This 2-bike trunk rack has an arched dog leg that fits over the spoiler on most sedans, hatchbacks, and SUVs. You can fold the adjustable arms down for parking in tight spaces, and you can quickly remove the rack and store it in your trunk or garage.
Features:
- Trunk-mounted rack lets you carry 2 bikes on the back of your vehicle
- Expanded, arched base with dog leg fits over most sedan, hatchback, and SUV spoilers
- Arched arms separate bikes on different levels to help prevent bike-to-bike contact
- Ratcheting anti-sway straps secure your bikes' top tubes and seat tubes to the rack
- 6 Cam-buckle straps with rubber clips anchor the rack to your trunk or hatch
- Integrated tie-downs prevent excess straps from flapping
- Injection-molded plastic arms and legs are durable and rustproof
- Articulated rubber feet and vinyl-coated hooks protect your trunk from scratches and scuffs
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Carrying capacity: 2 bicycles
- Weight capacity: 35 lbs per bike
- Carrier weight: 11 lbs
- Limited lifetime warranty
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.

Best bike rack for my Mitsubishi Outlander. Bikes are secure and it’s easy to use.

So far, so good. The confirmed fitting for my car was excellent as described by etrailer. The test will be an upcoming 3 hour road trip.

The Saros Bones EX 2 bike rack has been a good fit for a hatchback, allowing me to securely carry one e-bike or two non-e-bikes from my home to the cycling paved path (about 5 miles away in city traffic). I recommend this rack if you need to attach to a hatchback car and have a good distance to bring the bike. Mike in Providence, RI

Great customer service. I first tried sourcing this purchase from [online]. They cancelled my order indicating they can't acquire the item from the manufacturer. eTrailer managed instead to fulfill my request. Very grateful for your effort. Thank you.

2020 Lexus NX 300h
I received my Saris Bones EX 2 trunk mounted bike rack. I was surprised that it came with no instruction manual. Through trial and error, I was able to figure out how to install. Product description said it was guaranteed to fit my model of automobile and it does. Online [online] says extra strap length can be hidden in the main tube and covered with the end caps. I think I did it right. (Instructions would have been nice.)
Having just received, I have not yet traveled with a bike on the rack. The 6-point tie down offers a snug fit. My wife and I use and travel with a tandem bicycle. Even though it is longer than the normal bicycle, I am not expecting any issues. If I do, I’ll submit another review.

This bike rack is perfect for our Kia carnival minivan. Very sturdy and does not put pressure on the back of the van.
by: Paula01/08/2021
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.
by: Tyson05/01/2021
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.

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.
by: Antonio 11/20/2021
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.
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.
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.

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: Christopher 07/14/2023
Fits perfect on 2020 Chevy Equinox. Super easy install.
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: 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.

- How to Use Hatch Huggers When Installing Saris Bones Bike Rack on 2021 Subaru ForesterYes, you will need to replace the side hooks of the Saris Bones EX, 2-Bike # SAR83FR or 3-Bike # SA803, with the Hatch Huggers # SA3035 since the hooks won't fit in the seams at the sides of your hatch door on your 2021 Subaru Forester. We don't have a video showing how to install them on the side but I'm linking a video where we go over how to install the Hatch Huggers to the bike rack and then I'm attaching a photo a customer sent in where they use a magnet to keep the side straps in...

- 2022 Honda CR-V Fitment with Saris Bones EX 2 Bike RackThe 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...
view full answer... - Comparing Saris Bones and Bones EX For 2019 Toyota HighlanderI would recommend the Saris Bones EX part # SAR83FR for your 2019 Toyota Highlander as it is the most recent version of the Bones trunk rack. I like that it has two upper support arms and wider pads to help spread out the weight of the rack and bikes better compared to the Bones.
view full answer... - Will Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack Work on 2019 Mini Cooper HatchbackI checked with Saris and the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR is listed as a fit for a 2019 Mini Cooper Hatchback. The upper hooks will need to be replaced with hatch huggers part # SA3035, the lower feet need to be placed in the license plate well, and the upper straps should be placed over the legs.

This bike rack can carry up to 2 bikes weighing 35lbs each, and secures to the trunk with 6 cam-buckle straps with rubber clip anchors.
view full answer... - Will Hitch From 2016 Nissan Versa Fit 2021 VersaYour Curt # C11256 will fit 2012-2019 Nissan Versa models, but unfortunately it won't fit your new 2021 model. Unfortunately, we do not carry a hitch for your 2021 model. Instead, you could use a trunk bike rack line the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR or the Yakima Fullback # Y02633. You could also add a roof rack and carry cargo or bikes on your roof.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit for 2020 Kia Soul 1.6L TurboBoth Curt and Draw-Tite specifically list the 1.6L Turbo model Soul as fit exclusions for their # DT25GR and # C67FR hitches as the rear of the vehicle is different enough on the Turbo model that it prevents the hitch from fitting. If you were wanting the hitch for carrying bikes, you could use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR for a 2-bike model or # SA803 for a 3-bike model.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Honda CR-V Touring HybridWe do have plenty of hitches for your 2021 Honda CR-V touring hybrid. I recommend going with a class III hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT79MR. Reason being is almost all hitch accessories like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR are going to be made for a class III hitch, which has a 2" receiver. Even though this hitch is not recommended to be used on a Hybrid, this hitch can still be installed and used on your Hybrid.
view full answer... - Recommended Simple Bike Rack for a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hauling a Beach CruiserBy far the easiest bike racks to use and install are going to be hitch mounted racks. They are the easiest because they just slide into your hitch and it's ready to roll. If you already have a hitch, the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # TH934XTR is a great option. This rack has a maximum carrying capacity of up to 4 bikes weighing 35-lbs each, however since you likely have a class I (1-1/14") hitch you are limited to using it as a two bike carrier. If you don't have a hitch...

If you have the hatchback we can recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24905 for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra For your 2020 Hyundai Elantra Sedan, we can set you up with a trunk mounted bike rack for your two bikes. I recommend the Saris Guardian 2 # SAR93FR or the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. I have included videos of both racks for you to check out.
view full answer... - Is There a Lock for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike RackYes, we do offer locks for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. The 8' Cable Lock and lock Loop for Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Racks part # SAR52FR is a two in one. It locks the bikes to the rack and then the rack to the vehicle. The rack to vehicle lock is just a loop that closes in the hatch and prevents the rack from being removed even with the straps off. The bike to rack lock is a more traditional steel cable with metal lock core.
view full answer... - How To Use Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack With Only One BikeIn regards to the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR, if you're only carrying one bike it would need to be placed in the cradles closest to the vehicle. In regards to use with a spoiler, it doesn't actually put pressure on the spoiler although the straps may still come into contact. There will be no issues with spoiler use if factory and listed as a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Will Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2021 Honda Civic EX HatchbackThe Thule Passage # TH910XT will only fit the 2021 Civic Sedan. If you want to stick with Thule you can use the OutWay # TH45JV or OutWay Platform # TH65JV. If you want an option at a lower price point you can use the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR. These are the only trunk bike racks available for the hatchback model. If I were to choose one it would be the OutWay # TH45JV. I don't care for the high ride height of the bikes on the OutWay platform and don't think it is worth the additional cost....

This bike rack can handle up to 2 35lb bikes, will work with spoilers, and is made in America.

This gives you a temporary top tube for the bike so it has something to mount on the rack. I attached a review video of the rack and adapter bar for you to check out.

On a rack like the Passage you will just have to loosen the straps some to remove them from where they are attach to the vehicle. Then you would just place the hooks in the correct places and tighten the straps again to reinstall the rack. However, if your Forester has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the hatch then...
