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!

Faster and cheaper than other online re tailers

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.

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.
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: 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.

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: 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

Easy hook up ...handles two bikes very well.. good quality
by: Leo P02/14/2014
So far, the product appears great. Its simple adjustment to my vehicle is a plus. The quick delivery of the product was amazing. I can't wait until this Spring to test it with my bike, we have a lot of traveling to do.

- Will the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier Fit a 2016 Toyota HighlanderThe Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier part # TH911XT is not listed as a fit for a 2016 Toyota Highlander according to Thule but I do have an option for you that is, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your Highlander. 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.
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.

I'd recommend the Yakima as I believe it's easier to install and use and it has a wider contact pad for where it touches your 2019 Toyota RAV4. Now since you mentioned wanting to open the rear hatch and carry 4 bikes I have a different route I would recommend as you cannot carry 4 bikes with a trunk rack (too much weight on the rear of the vehicle) and the hatch cannot be lifted with the rack installed. Instead your...

It unfortunately does not fit a 2016 Nissan Rogue. While the Saris Bones 3 is an amazing choice for your Toyota Carolla, we do not have any 3-bike trunk mounted options to transport bikes on your Rogue. The Bones 3 is a great choice because it comes with individually-adjustable arms to provide you the perfect fitment on the contours of your vehicle. You also receive...

You will want the Replacement Knobs for Saris Bones Bike Carriers - Qty 6 # SA19881. This is the only quantity available but will give you some spares.
view full answer... - Is Spoiler Clearance an Issue for the Saris Bones 3 on a 2015 Toyota PriusSpoiler clearance is a very important thing when it comes to trunk mount bike racks because, as you mentioned, if there isn't enough clearance you could damage the spoiler. We have determined that the Saris Bones 3 bikes racks, like part # SA801BL, on a 2015 Toyota Prius is a confirmed fit. I can also say that Saris has tested and approved their bike rack for use on your vehicle. I have added a review video of this bike rack for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Honda CR-VThe Saris Bike Porter 3 bike rack was a confirmed fit for your 2014 Honda CR-V but has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The biggest difference between this and the Saris Bones # SA801BL is the Bones rack has adjustable arms. Both are great options for your vehicle, so it just depends on how much adjustability you desire. The Saris Bones and the Porter will both have the arms that collapse close to your vehicle when not in use and have a maximum weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike....

This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that allows you to carry up to 2 bikes on a carrier like the popular Thule Camber # TH9058. 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 Saris Bones Trunk Rack part # SA801BL is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and would work well. I personally,...

We actually had the chance to test fit this rack on a 2015 Honda CR-V which I attached a link to a video of. You can see how easy it is to setup and how it attaches to your vehicle.

- Recommend 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack Options For 2008 Mazda 3 SedanI do have a solution for you to carry 3 bikes on your 2008 Mazda 3 Sedan, but since there are only Class I hitch receivers available for your vehicle, you would be limited to using a 2-bike hitch rack with a Class I hitch. As you noted, Class I hitches are limited to carrying 2 bikes due to the stresses applied on a hitch from a loaded bike rack. What you can do is use a trunk mounted 3 bike rack like the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack, part # SA801BL. This trunk mounted bike rack will only fit...

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. It has also been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle so it would work well. I attached a review video for more info. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed...

I also checked the etrailer FitGuide and again this particular carrier is not considered a good fit for your Edge. Vehicles like yours with a roofline spoiler pose a challenge to fitting many conventional bike racks. But with the bad news out of the way we do have plenty of excellent trunk-mount carrier options for you! The link at right will show you all confirmed fits for 3-bike trunk racks...

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. The Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 only weighs 17 lbs so it's not crazy heavy. The Saris is 12 lbs. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative...
view full answer... - Can Beach Cruisers be Carried with Trunk Bike Rack Saris BonesAs long as the beach cruisers you have weigh less than 35 lbs per bike the Saris Bones # SA801BL would be fine. If your bikes are heavier you'd need a hitch bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z with a hitch like the # 36660 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Comparing The Yakima Fullback and Halfback to Saris Bones and Thule GatewayBetween all of the bike racks you mentioned I'd prefer the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634. The Fullbak is considered to be on the higher end of the trunk rack quality/feature spectrum yet they aren't that crazy expensive so the value for these two racks over the Saris Bones # SA801BL and especially Thule Gateway # TH88VR makes it the obvious choice. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat...
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Kid and Adult Bikes on a 2012 Toyota CorollaYou do not have to have a trailer hitch in order to carry 3 bikes on your 2012 Toyota Corolla. That will help keep the cost down because you can use a trunk mount bike rack. Considering that 2 of the bikes you want to carry are for young children I recommend a rack that has the narrowest arm spacing. This will make it more likely for the smaller bikes to fit. The arms on the Saris Bones, # SA801BL, can get very close to each other so I recommend going with it. Even though the arms can...

That said Hollywood Racks is typically the most cautious with thier fits and the first to list something as "not a fit" if it's difficult at all. We've seen other manufacturers list fits for their trunk racks and then Hollywood Racks will err on the side of caution if there is any issue at all so when they list something...
view full answer... - Best Trunk Rack and Lock for 2016 Mazda CX-5I recommend the Saris Bones Rack, part # SA805BL. It can carry two bikes and is very easy to install. Another plus is its 10-pound frame, making it much easier for you to handle than most other trunk racks. Yet another benefit of choosing this rack is the Anti-Sway straps; with six straps to the vehicle and two additional straps for the frame, there is very little sway during travel. I've linked a review video for this rack. For additional protection, I also recommend the Saris Protect-O-Pads,...

Follow the rack manufacturer's installation instructions. To the letter. Before installing the rack, ensure that the surface of the vehicle that the rack will touch and the portions of the rack that touch the vehicle are completely free of dirt and grit. A heavy coat of car wax on the portions of the vehicle where the rack will touch will add further protection. Be sure...

- 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...
view full answer... - Are Bike Adapter Bars Needed for Womens and Kids Bikes on the Yakima FullBack Bike RackWith any 2-arm bike rack, including the FullBack # Y02633, there is always the possibility that you would need to use a bike adapter bar, such as # 64005. There are just so many different kinds of bikes out there that it is very difficult to say for sure either way. Bike racks with the arms spaced close together are less likely to need an adapter bar though. On the FullBack the arms are 12 inches apart, outside to outside. If there is enough free space on the underside of the top frame...

It is 8-3/4 inches between the centers of the bike holders, and the outside of the arms are about 9-1/2 inches apart, and 7-1/2 inches in the middle. If you have Women's, Childrens, Step-through or aggressive (BMX/Mountain) framed bikes you want to carry, you can easily adjust this distance by using a Swagman Frame Adapter Bar, part # 64005. This will let you mount the bikes level...
