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.

2018 Toyota Camry
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.

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?

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.
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
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.

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.

- Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford Fiesta SedanAt this time there is not a trailer hitch available that is compatible with your 2018 Ford Fiesta sedan. The only hitches available for the 2018 Fiesta are designed to fit the hatchback model. If you are by chance wanting a trailer hitch to use with a hitch-mounted bike rack, I recommend taking a look at trunk-mounted option instead. We do have a nice selection of carriers that are confirmed to fit your Ford Fiesta sedan. The Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL is a really nice option...

The installation of the this hitch is rated a 9 out of 10 difficulty with an average install time at around 1-1/2 hours. The difficulty is the installation has to doe with the removal the mufflers, disassembly of the trunk interior, and the drilling of four holes to mount the hitch to the vehicle. If you think this might be too difficult...

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.

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...
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.

The Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL and the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 are a fit for your 2018 Honda CR-V and would work well aside from the rear windshield wiper. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on...
view full answer... - Recommended 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack for 2007 Lexus RX 350The Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2007 Lexus RX 350 but you are correct that it's limited to 2 bikes on this particular vehicle. This actually has less to do with the total weight of 3 bikes and more to do with the additional leverage that's put on the attachment point as weight gets further away from the rear. This is why the 3rd bike can't be used on the Saris Bones when used on your Lexus, as placing weight on the rear most...
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...

It's got a decent price, it's lightweight, fits both vehicles and is an excellent all-around trunk rack. Check out the review video for more info on it. There are no 4 bike trunk racks as the weight and leverage of 4 bikes would end up damaging the vehicle since the racks mount to the rear of the vehicle. If you plan...

I attached a picture of this rack installed on an E-tron just like yours for you to check out as well.

The arced arms of the rack will fit over the spoiler of your vehicle.

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... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 3 Kid Bikes on a 2016 Chevy MalibuThe Saris Guardian 3 Bike Carrier # SAR43FR has a fairly wide arm spacing which means it isn't the best option for kid bikes. You would most likely need to use an adapter bar, # 64005, for any of the bikes that won't fit directly. This could be all of the bikes, none of them, or anything in between. It all depends on the bike designs and sizes. What I recommend is the Saris Bones # SA801BL. With it you can push the arms closer together so it is more likely to fit the bikes and makes it...

Also the use of the Hatch Huggers reduces the bike rack capacity to 2 bikes. What I recommend for 3 bikes is the Yakima FullBack # Y02633. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. It costs a little more but in my opinion it is a better rack compared to the Bones. The FullBack also includes...

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...

I have a couple of 3-bike racks that will work though: We have the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3 which is a very basic rack and does not have anti-sway cradles. Then the best choice is the Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 which is the perfect option if your A3 hatchback has that spoiler piece at the top of the hatch. This rack...
view full answer... - Bike Carrying Recommendations for 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 SedanThere are many things you can do to reduce the possibility of scratching the vehicle when using a trunk mount bike rack. 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...

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...

They have no customer fit notes indicating problems with the bottom hooks, so my contact there recommended use of their Hatch Huggers # SA3035. These replace the bottom hooks and provide you with a safe alternative installation for your Bones rack.

So, unfortunately I don't have a trailer hitch receiver that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. If I can help you with a trunk mounted bike rack or a roof rack to meet your needs, please let me know and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
