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.

Specs:
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.

Easy to install and sturdy.
Nice
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.
Best bike rack for my Mitsubishi Outlander. Bikes are secure and it’s easy to use.
Great bike rack!
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.
easy to set up (with a little help from video) on a 2022 forester--
held securely and carried 2 bicycles easily (within weight limit)
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.
This is a good rack, it serves me well. I must admit that any rack that rests on a window makes me nervous, but I’ve trusted the experts at e-trailer through many years and many vehicles and never been disappointed.
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
Could not easily find which rack would work on a 2017 Rav 4. Website was helpful, but ability to quickly speak with service representative made sure rack would fit.
I think the Saris rack holds my bike securely. I just put the rack on for the first time; it took me a while, but I think it will be very simple the next time. The rack is actually made for a bicycle with a top frame tube that is parallel to the ground. My bike has a slight angle, but the rack works very well on the 2024 Mini Cooper. Stacey, with etrailer, was incredible supportive and knowledgeable.
Got this rack to carry a bike on a car where it has to clear a trunklid spoiler. That it does.
Good product. Not perfect, but good. Does rest rubber feet on painted surfaces, so I keep a clean microfiber towel handy to wipe the feet before each use so they don't scratch up the car's paint.
Quick and easy to use. Looks bulky but it's all lightweight plastic. Seems plenty sturdy enough for the job, although time will tell how long that remains true.
Finally, a small quibble: The caps at each end of the fat tube are supposed to store the excess lengths of strapping, but the friction-fit caps promptly fall out so the straps just dangle. But there's no real harm done by that; it's merely a bit unsightly. On the whole, this device does the job.
This did not work well for my vehicle. It was not adjustable enough to fit well on my hatchback and the bike was also too close to the rack and rubbed on it. It also felt too complicated with all of the straps. The Yakima Fullback is what I went with instead.
I’ve owned this for a year now. It works great on my Mercedes 2014 GLK. I’ve used it for one heavier bike and then added a much lighter racing bike and I never worried about them not being secure. I’ve never taken it on a long trip, but it works to get my daughter and I to and from bike races, triathlons and just weekend cruising. One of the strap locks on the base cracked the first time I used it, but I managed to get it back in place and it hasn’t given me any issues.
Good solid rack fits my HRV well, very stable with bike in it even on bumpy country roads.
The product has been amazing! I only encountered one issue with the rack. A broken rivet on a locking strap, but etrailer.com replaced it for free with no issue. Great customer service and product. I would purchase from etrailer.com again.
While the rack is really good once it's on the car, stable , easy to put your bike on and off, getting the rack itself put on the car, aligning all the bars the way they're supposed to be, is a real pain on the neck. I promise you I won't undo those bars again. So you'd better have a big place to store it. Took me a bit tongue out what the way meant by sliding the bars to set them up. It's just not the easiest to put in the right position. But again, once it's up, it's lightweight and easy to lift on and off.

I get it, Lisa. a trunk-mounted bike rack isn't the best option for everyone, but if you don't feel like installing a hitch to use for a hitch mounted bike rack, it's the only way to go!
