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 lets you carry 3 bikes on the back of your sedan, hatchback, or van. It has arched dual arms that keep your bikes separated and an adjustable base. 6 Nylon anchor straps let you quickly remove it from your vehicle and store it in your trunk or garage.
Individually Adjustable Arched Arms
The Bones 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 lets you free up space to park in your garage without removing the rack from your vehicle.
Ratcheting Anti-Sway Cradles
Rubber, anti-sway cradles with ratcheting 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. These 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 vinyl-coated steel hooks. They are vinyl-coated 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.

WOW... Outstanding product, well-engineered, quality materials, easy to install, works as advertised, and a perfect fit to my 2016 KIA Forte5. Not cheap... but, you get what you pay for... can't imagine a better bike rack out there. Great bike rack!

So far I have driven about 400 miles using the Saris Bones 3 bike rack on our Honda CRV and it has worked very well. There were some reviews from people who had bad experiences but I think it is because they didn't purchase the hatch huggers for the upper straps as recommended. Also on the side straps the hooks need to go between the plastic molding and the metal of the lift back otherwise they don't seat all the way. We drove though so rough road construction and the straps didn't loosen a bit. I'm very happy with this rack.

Honda Accord
The Saris Bones-3 bike carrier is very solid and also configurable. It fit both my Subaru Forrester (mid-size SUV) and Honda Accord (sedan with trunk) well. Installation was pretty straightforward -- though read the clips to understand which goes where. The bike weight, in both cases, rested mostly on the rear bumper. I have used it for both 1 and 2 bikes, and found each incident of mounting the bikes went smoothly and that they were quite well secured. There appeared to be no swaying or bouncing of the bike mount, even on some pretty rough roads. You will want to have a strap to secure the front wheel of at least the first bicycle on the rack (not included with the Saris mount, I used the recommended Softride Velcro Tie-downs).

2011 Honda CR-V
Just installed my new SARUS Bones 3 bicycle carrier on my Honda CRV. I purchased it from www.etrailer.com - - - prompt UPS tracking delivery cross-country. It helped for installation to watch a brief YouTube video first.) All went quick and easy. High quality construction and intuitive design features. The carrier is snug, strong and SWEET looking! My mountain bike fit perfectly. I am ordering two “accessories” . . . wheel straps and a bike beam to properly secure my wife’s soon to be purchased new bike. HAPPY Trails ahead! (:-)

This rack is easy to attach to the car and is very stable! We’ve had it for a year and it seems pretty durable. The things that I don’t like about it is that it’s hard to load the bikes, and the way it’s set up it seems like it’s made for one particular size or style of bike. We have different size bikes and it’s tough to load them. Also, there’s no way we could fit three bikes on this rack even though it’s supposedly made to carry three. Would get a different rack if shopping again.
by: Sheila04/02/2019
I just got it out of the box and the outside top arm appears to be stripped. The plastic bolt works in the other arms and those screws don't work in just that arm. I am hoping the manufacturer can fix it. It's not really that adjustable on the fly, but it appears to be solid. The bolts seem flimsy and easy to strip. I haven't been able to use it though due to being unable to secure that one arm.

This trunk bike rack was perfect for our 2018 Toyota Camry. It is well engineered and is sturdy. I had some questions about mounting it and etrailer was great about answering them, and was a big help to us before, during and after the purchase.

2008 Honda CR-V
I love it! What an amazingly clever design. It feels solid on my Honda 2008 CRV and looks very smart. The materials are of excellent quality and well made. I feel very confident this happy purchase will carry my grandkids 3 mountain, bikes as designed safely with features easy for use. It was a breeze to attach to my vehicle and not heavy and awkward with my arthritic granny hands. Watching the video for my CRV helped install quickly. Questions with customer service were handled with courteous, friendly, helpful speed. It was a pleasure doing business with this most professional, responsive company. Sorry no photo. Will supply later if you still want?
by: Tj12/30/2019
I’ve owned this product for one year and it’s still going strong. Able to easily connect and disconnect to multiple cars including a Subaru Outback and VW hatchback with ease. It can take a few minutes to get the bikes on and off especially if you have smaller children bikes, adult bikes have no issues. Overall this product has been great.
by: Steve E06/09/2020
This is an excellent bike rack. Easy to install on the car and easy to put up to 3 bikes on it. We've used it on both short and long trips in 2019.

We have used this a lot, and it performs well. Best thing is that it fits on my Honda CRV and my husband's Toyota Camry, so we can use either car for our bicycle excursions.
by: Knute04/22/2014
So far, so good. We've used it once and had no problems. Yet to use it with three bikes. Easy to install--instructions are clear. Very impressed with the customer service (especially shipping speed) of etrailer.com.
by: Steven 03/25/2020
I just received the bike carrier and haven't had a chance to use it yet. Seems well made but I don't like the clips on the straps because they are not rubber coated. Can't wait to try it out

- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Ford Eco-SportGood 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...

The pivot points of the rack are simply for adjusting the angle of the rack instead of the tightness. For adjusting the tightness, that comes from the tightening the little black knobs and the cam buckles. I went ahead and attached a screenshot that shows an overview of the process from the instructional manual.

- Will the Saris Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2004 Toyota SiennaThere are several different trunk mount bike rack options available for your 2004 Toyota Sienna as long as it does not have the plastic spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. I have attached a link to all of the 3-bike options for you to check out. The Saris Bones bike rack that you referenced is available in a 3-bike version as part # SA801BL and it will fit your Sienna as long as it does not have a spoiler. If your Sienna has a spoiler, then I can only recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack For 2020 Honda CR-VFor your 2020 Honda CR-V, I recommend the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL which attaches to your trunk and holds 3 bikes. I have this exact bike rack on my vehicle and I love how simple it is to install and use. It has a weight capacity of 35lbs per bike and attaches to the bike frame, so you won't have to worry about tire size. If you plan to carry children's, women's, step-thru, or other bikes with oddly shaped frames then you'll need an adapter bar such as # 64005. This gives the bike a better...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Honda HR-VYes, you can use the Saris Bones trunk mount bike rack # SA801BL on your 2016 Honda HR-V. In order for a proper and safe fit you will also need Hatch Huggers # SA3035. These will replace the side hooks on the rack so that the bike rack can be installed.
view full answer... - How to Carry Bike Without Horizontal Top Tube on Hanging Bike RackThere's an adapter made specifically for allowing bikes like yours that do not have a horizontal top tube to be carried on a hanging bike rack like the Saris Bones # SA801BL that you mentioned. What you'd need is the adapter part # UB01. This attaches to the steering stem and the seat post to provide the attachment point for the rack. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack that is Easy to Load for a 2012 Nissan Versa HatchbackIt will be easiest to mount your 2 bikes on a trunk mount bike rack that holds 3 bikes because there is more space. But as far as having to lift up the bikes to load them I would not say that any one trunk mount option is going to be easier than the others. This is because the arms on all of them will be at approximately the same height once mounted on your 2012 Nissan Versa hatchback. I recommend the Saris Bones bike rack, part # SA801BL, because it's light weight, durable, and holds...

I have attached a video of the 2-bike version of the Saris Bones # SA805BL, which is also a fit for your Highlander, for you to see all of its great features.

This rack is an adjustible, trunk mounted rack that has a sleek, easy install design that also folds up when not in use, so you don't need to remove it. Since the 2016 Honda CR-V has a hatchback, you'll need the Hatch Huggers, part # SA3035, to easily mount to the hatch by threading through its gap without having to clip to the more sensitive parts of the rear hatch. If you plan on carrying a Women's, Step Through or Aggressive (BMX or Mountain)...

In the case of Thule, they confirmed that their 2-bike OutWay rack # TH45JV is a fit for the Civic sedan as long as it is not an SI. They also decided that the higher weight of the larger 3-bike version would be too much for the car's thin sheet metal. There could be a risk of denting or dimpling the metal. That said, the 3-bike # TH56BV rack will mount properly on...
view full answer... - Can the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier Part # SA801BL Handle Highway SpeedsYes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier part # SA801BL which is a fit for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon will be plenty fine traveling at highway speeds. The bike rack's position on the vehicle will be in a way that does not really catch much wind resistance so speed should not be too much of a concern. Just remember to use the Hatch Huggers part # SA3035 on the two side straps.

Instead a trunk rack like the Saris Bones part # SA801BL would be what you would need. This attaches to the rear of your vehicle and does not require a hitch.

You would also need the support strap # 18050 anytime you are using a bike rack or cargo carrier with the Curt hitch. We also have trunk racks that will fir your 2016 Audi 3.

The weight of the rack can cause the hatch to either close without warning or fall off when the hatch is open, causing damage to the bikes, rack, or vehicle. If you decide to go with the Bones I recommend a 10 foot Cable Lock, part # e98891 to improve the security of the rack and a Swagman Frame Adapter, part...

This being said, the risks can be minimized by putting as little weight as possible on the racks and by observing the racks weight capacity, by installing the rack exactly as described in the instructions, and by keeping the surfaces where the rack and vehicle touch absolutely clean.

The design of this rack allows it to install over the factory spoiler of your vehicle and would work well. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

You are correct that the plastic ratcheting cradles will make attaching the bike to the rack easier than the rubber straps. Typically the rubber will stretch easier in warmer climates and loosen up after repeated use. You are also correct that because they are plastic they have a higher chance of breaking especially in colder weather conditions. We haven't heard of any cases of the buckle breaking or coming...
