2006 Mini Cooper - 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.

- E-Bikes, A Trunk Rack, And Their Fit On My 2014 Mazda 3If your e-bikes are on the very low end of that weight range, as in right at 40 lbs, there may be a trunk rack that is able to carry your e-bikes. 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....
view full answer... - Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2018 Audi Q3The Saris Bones trunk mounted bike rack part # SAR83FR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Audi Q3. This is one of the nicest and lightest weight trunk mounted bike racks so it would be a great option for you. This is currently the only Saris rack that fits your vehicle.
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...
view full answer... - What Trunk Bike Rack Do You Recommend For My 2013 Toyota PriusIf your bikes do not weigh more than 35 lbs, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount, part # SAR83FR. This rack is designed specifically to be compatible with cars with spoilers. 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. I have used them to carry bikes across the country on two occasions: from St. Louis...

The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL is a very nice basic trunk bike rack. It has adjustable arms and anti-sway features. It can carry 2 bikes up to 35 pounds each. It does not include locks but comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Then the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR is an upgraded version which is more sleek and easier to use. It has a expanded, arched...

For a great trunk bike rack that fits your 2022 Honda CR-V with a rear spoiler, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR. The arched base of the Bones EX 2 fit over most sedan, hatchback, and SUV spoilers. 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. Also, to add theft-deterrence measures, you can use the 8' Cable...
view full answer... - Best Way To Carry Bikes On a 2022 Honda Accord Without Trailer HitchThe best option to carry bikes without a hitch is on the rear of the vehicle with a truck mounted rack for which I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. This rack installs easily using rubber coated hooks which latch onto the truck lid. It has anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes in place as well. The only downside to a trunk mounted rack as opposed to hitch mounted is that you can't open the truck with the rack in place but you also don't have to install a hitch so they...

(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.

In order to open you hatch it does need to be removed. Additionally, please note that if you plan on carrying kids' bikes or bikes with a step-through or alternative frame you will need to give the bikes a horizontal mounting point by using an adapter, the Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO.

As long as you do not have that, you are good to go and the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU64FR is a very nice option for carrying a single bike. You will have no problems using these together. However, if you do have the 1.6L Turbo option, you will either need to go with a trunk mount bike rack, like the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR,...

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.

There are some trunk mount options like the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR but you have to install it each time you go to use it and it will be a little trickier to install than a hitch mount rack.

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.
