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.


Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier

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

Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable 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.


Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable arms close up

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.


Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable arms folded down

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 Ford Van.


Ratcheting Anti-Sway Cradles

Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable armsSaris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with straps

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


Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier

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.


Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable armsImage Descriptor

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.


Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier with adjustable arms

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! (:-)



by:

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:

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.

Youll be hearing from one of our Customer Service folks soon, were sorry that happened!

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:

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:
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:

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:

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:

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:
2021 Toyota Camry

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:

Easy hook up ...handles two bikes very well.. good quality

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.

    The Saris Bones bike racks have been confirmed to fit your 2015 Audi A7. At this time these are the only trunk mount bike racks listed as a fit for this vehicle.

    While the Saris Bones # SA801BL three bike rack does not fit your 2013 Infiniti G37x Saris does have the Bones EX part # SA803 as a confirmed fit that has an improved design that allows it to fit more vehicles. This would be a really great choice for your vehicle.

    I do have options for you but Thule has not confirmed any of their trunk mount bike racks to work on a 2018 Toyota Camry yet. If you would like to wait for the release of Thule bike racks confirmed to fit the 2018 models then you are more than welcome to do so but as the 2017 and 2018 model years are so different I would not be able to speculate fitment. With that being said the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL is an excellent option for your vehicle. It can carry up to 3 bikes weighing...

  • Will the Saris Bones 3 Fit on a 2009 Subaru Legacy With a Spoiler
    The Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Subaru Legacy and has an arched base that will accommodate most spoilers. If you have an OEM spoiler then it should fit just fine. I also recommend adding some security to your Bones 3 to deter theft of your bike(s) and bike rack. The Hatch Huggers # SA3035, and Cable Lock # SA981 can be added to help give you some peace of mind. You can also add the Saris Stabilizer Straps # SA3033 to help keep your wheels and handlebars stable. If...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2018 Ford Fiesta Sedan
    At 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...

    Yes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Scion xA and will work well for you. It has anti-sway cradles which will prevent both bike to bike and bike to vehicle contact in addition to rubber feet and hooks to protect the vehicle's finish. Please note that if you have any bikes with an alternative frame then you will also need to use an adapter bar like the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SA3040.

  • Recommended 3-Bike Rack for 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback
    I have good news and bad news. The good news is that your Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL is confirmed to fit your 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback. The issue (bad news) is that in order for it to fit properly, the side hooks need to be replaced with # SA3035. Doing this will reduce the capacity of the carrier so that it can only safely carry 2 bikes. With this in mind, I instead recommend going with the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633, which is confirmed to fit your Mazda 3 Hatchback...

    Since you told me so much helpful information about your needs and preferences for a bike rack I instantly knew what to recommend for you. Thank you! I recommend the USA-made Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL. The rack is shown in the linked video. The Saris offers some unique engineering that gives it several advantages over other racks. First it is very lightweight at only 11-lbs thanks to its use of injection-molded plastic construction for the rack arms and legs. This light construction...

Please note if any of your bikes is a kids bike or doesn't have a horizontal top tube then you'll need an adapter bar like part # TH982XT to fit the bike onto the arms of the rack and hold it level.

    We do carry the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount - Black # SA801BL which is extremely similar to the Saris SuperBones you were referring to and it is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Nissan Altima even if you have the rear spoiler. I also recommend the Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SA3040 when you use this rack. I also recommend the Saris Cable Lock - 8' Long # SA981 to secure your bikes to the rack and each other.

  • Bike Carrying Recommendations for 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 Sedan
    There 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...

  • Can Saris Bones Bike Rack Be Used to Carry Womens Bikes
    The Saris Bones part # SA801BL can easily be used to carry a women's bike that does not have a horizontal cross tube. What you need to make this work is an adapter bar like part # UB01. This adapter attaches to the seat post and the steering stem to provide a horizontal attachment. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

    I do have a solution for you but Thule still does not list the 2015 BMW X4 as compatible with any of their trunk mount bike carriers. I spoke with my Thule contact and he said that so far none of the models fit the X4. For a trunk mount carrier that will fit you can use the Saris Bones # SA801BL. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow...

    Yes, the Saris Bones bike rack # SA801BL will fit your 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback with the spoiler but you will need to add and use Hatch Huggers # SA3035 in place of the side straps. 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...

  • How to Make Sure that the Feet of the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL Sit Properly on a 2018 Toyota Camry
    When installing the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL on your 2018 Toyota Camry the best way to tighten down the straps is to alternate a little at a time with each set of straps. If you initially really tightened down the bottom straps then that would explain why your top straps were not as secure. You also need to make sure that the feet are oriented properly. You can put your heavier bike in the spot nearest your car and the lighter bike at the spot furthest away, but bike manufacturers always...

  • Recommended 2-Bike Rack for 2015 Ford Escape Titanium
    I do recommend going with a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted bike rack for your 2015 Ford Escape. A hitch-mounted rack is going to provide a much more stable and secure platform for your bikes. It will also push the bikes out and away from your vehicle, meaning there won't be any contact between the bikes/bike rack and your Ford Escape's finish, resulting in less of a chance of any vehicle damage. Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame # 75758. This...

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.

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.
