- 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 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
- 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: 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.

Fits perfect on 2020 Chevy Equinox. Super easy install.
by: Jeffrey04/03/2022
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.

- Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Nissan Altima to Carry a Bike RackThe Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24796 that you referenced will only work for the Sedan models of your car. Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a hitch for your 2011 Nissan Altima Coupe. (February 2023) We do however, trunk mounted bike racks like the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR or the Yakima HangOut 3 # Y02638. I included videos of both racks for you to see how they work.
view full answer... - Will The Sairs Bones EX2 Damage The Roof Extension On A 2022 Honda HR-VHello Kevin. The straps on the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR will be just fine if they make contact with the roof extension on your 2022 Honda HR-V. The straps are anchored to the hatch, so most of the strain will be there instead of the roof extension. Even with the loaded weight of the bikes you will not be in danger of breaking anything. Saris actually shows an example in their instruction of this rack on a car with a similar roof extension which you can see below. The straps are designed...

view full answer... - Saris Bones vs. Saris Bones EX For 2020 Toyota PriusWhile both fit your 2020 Toyota Prius, the biggest differences between the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL and Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR is the latter has an added top anchor leg for more stable mounting, as well as strap management so you can store the straps into the rack's tube so they aren't flapping about while you are travelling. Due to that I'd go with the Bones EX # SAR83FR. The only thing to keep in mind is that with both racks you will need to replace the top and...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2023 Honda Accord SportYes, we do have trunk mounted bike racks for a 2023 Honda Accord Sport such as the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR which is what I recommend. This is one of the most popular trunk mount racks and a great option. It's super lightweight at only 11 lbs so it's easy to get on/off. It's also made in the USA and because of the hinged design, works great on vehicles with spoilers.

The last years there was a trunk mounted bike available for the NX 350H was 2022, so your only option is going to be for a hitch mounted rack. All you need is a trailer hitch to get rollin', but if you don't have one you can use Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C33NR will work great. This hitch has a class III receiver opening, has a max tongue weight of 200 lbs and a max towing capacity...

The receiver sticks out all the way below the back trim on your Lexus which is why it sits so far down. The benefit of this is that you don't have to cut into your Lexus.

The trunk/hatch is not designed to support lifting the weight of the rack and it can shift while in motion causing further damage. That said, this is not just a rule for the Saris Bones but all rear mount bike racks. If you want to be able to open the hatch/trunk with a rack you'll have to...

More specifically, I recommend the Saris Guardian 2 # SAR93FR. The Guardian is a great choice if you are looking for something that is considerably easier to install than the Saris Bones # SA805BL or the Bones EX models like the # SAR83FR. The Guardian comes with a 35-pound per-bike weight capacity and has soft pads that protect both your bikes and your vehicle. I confirmed with Saris that the Guardian models...

In order to install the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR properly on your vehicle, I confirmed with Saris that you need the hatch huggers # SA3035 to replace the upper straps. For the lower straps, you can either use the hatch huggers # SA3035 or place the hooks inside the trunk. I went ahead and attached a video that shows how the hatch huggers work.

There are two legs on this rack that route the straps through a groove in the leg to alleviate the pressure the rack places on the spoiler. I have extensive experience with the Saris Bones racks.

It is also recommended that e-bikes be transported on your vehicle without the battery installed on the bike. That will also save you some weight. Our trunk bike racks are going to max out at 35 lbs a bike. If that weight is enough, my trunk bike rack recommendation is the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount, part # SAR83FR....

If you do have the spoiler then you need the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR instead. These have anti-sway straps but these essentially just limit the amount of bike movement so to avoid bike to vehicle and bike to bike contact you'll want to use the Protect-O-Pads # SA2060. I also recommend using the Stabilizer Straps # SA3033 to help keep...
