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:

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:

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.



by:

Very efficient delivery and great customer service!



by:

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:

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:

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.



by:

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:

Fits perfect on 2020 Chevy Equinox. Super easy install.



by:

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:

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:

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.

  • Easy to Install/Remove Bike Rack for a 2017 Lexus NX
    We have a few options for your 2017 Lexus NX (300h or Turbo) but when it comes to something that's easy to install and remove I recommend going with a hitch mount bike rack. 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. If you don't already have a trailer hitch I recommend picking up the etrailer # e89AR because it has a matte black finish that...

  • What Trunk Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My 2019 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
    If you are trying to decide between the Yakima Fullback # Y02634 (2-bike version) / # Y02633 (3-bike version) and the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR (2-bike version) / # SA803 (3-bike version), the Saris Bones EX models will unfortunately not fit your 2019 Honda Civic SI Sedan. With that limitation, that leaves the Yakima Fullback models (which I confirmed as a fit with Yakima). The Fullback is a great option because it comes with a locking cable (unlike the Bones EX). This locking cable provides...

  • Best Hatch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2022 GMC Terrain
    I would be happy to help you. The Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack item # SAR83FR you were looking at is a confirmed fit for your 2022 GMC Terrain but it is not the best option. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack item # Y02634. The Yakima has cushioned anti-sway cradles, a wide mounting pad to protect the finish of the paint and has adjustable arms too. I have attached an install video for this rack on a 2018 Terrain along with a picture of the rack installed for you to check out.

    While we do have great trunk-mounted bike rack options for you, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT does not fit a Sport model of 2012 Honda Fit. As a great alternative that fits, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. This rack comes with a much more solid/secure construction with injection molded plastic arms and legs. It also has the capability of fitting over a rear spoiler (if you have one). Additionally, it has the benefit of being...

  • Will The Sairs Bones EX2 Damage The Roof Extension On A 2022 Honda HR-V
    Hello Kevin. The straps on the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR will be just fine if they make contact with the roof extension on your 2022 Honda HR-V. The straps are anchored to the hatch, so most of the strain will be there instead of the roof extension. Even with the loaded weight of the bikes you will not be in danger of breaking anything. Saris actually shows an example in their instruction of this rack on a car with a similar roof extension which you can see below. The straps are designed...

  • Why Does the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack Fit Some Vehicles With Spoilers But Not Others
    The reason the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR works with some vehicles with spoilers and does not work with a 2012 Nissan Rogue is because the spoiler is too wide. This rack will work with 90% of vehicles that have spoilers out there, but in certain cases the spoilers are too wide and won't give the rack good contact with the back of the hatch. So because your 2012 Nissan has that wide spoiler, you're locked to using the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack # 298-BK1910-BK for a trunk rack. You...

  • Can Rear Hatch of 2014 Lexus RX 350 be Opened With Saris Bones Trunk Bike Rack
    Any trunk-mounted bike rack, including the Saris Bones # SAR83FR that fits your 2014 Lexus RX 350, will prevent the rear hatch from being opened with the bike rack on. 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.

  • Recommended Hitch and Ground Clearance for a 2024 Lexus NX 350
    When installed on your 2024 Lexus NX 350, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # DT82QR will lower your ground clearance about 4". The receiver sticks out all the way below the back trim on your Lexus which is why it sits so far down. The benefit of this is that you don't have to cut into your Lexus. The Draw-Tite item # DT82QR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will...

Please note that your CR-V should have a function where the rear wiper turns on when you have the wipers active and you put your vehicle in reverse. Be sure to turn your wipers off prior to backing up so the rear wiper doesn't hit the bike rack and damage both of them.

  • How Can I Carry Bikes With My 2022 Lexus ES 250
    I do have a bike rack to fit your vehicle. Unfortunately, it will not be a hitch bike rack. I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2022 Lexus ES 350. Oftentimes, the availability of a trailer hitch is based upon whether you can use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. As a result, there is not a trailer hitch for your vehicle. Unfortunately, without the trailer hitch, you will not be able to use a hitch mounted bike rack. You...

  • Recommended 2 Bike Carrier For a 2022 Honda CR-V Touring Edition
    I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR for carrying your 2 bikes on your 2022 Honda CR-V Touring. This rack was designed for rear hatches with the built in spoiler like your CR-V. The carrier only weighs 11lbs and is capable of supporting the weight of 2 bikes up to 35lbs each. Six straps with rubber coated hooks secure the rack to the rear hatch. For your women's bike a Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SA3040 will be needed if it doesn't have a straight top frame bar.

This will require you to get a hitch receiver installed, but the rack will be bolted into your hitch receiver and not strapped to your vehicle.

    Yes! We definitely recommend Saris trunk bike racks for your 2022 BMW M550i sedan. More specifically, I recommend the Saris Guardian 2 # SAR93FR. The Guardian is a great choice if you are looking for something that is considerably easier to install than the Saris Bones # SA805BL or the Bones EX models like the # SAR83FR. The Guardian comes with a 35-pound per-bike weight capacity and has soft pads that protect both your bikes and your vehicle. I confirmed with Saris that the Guardian models...

    We do have a few trunk mount bike rack options for your 2024 Lexus ES 350, and out of our selection I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR. I like this rack over the other options because of the shape of the upper arms. They have a bend in them which just gives you more of a direct placement of the weight of the rack instead of the traditional curved arms that do more leaning. If any of your bikes is a kid's or alternative frame style then you'll also need an adapter bar...

    Both Curt and Draw-Tite specifically list the 1.6L Turbo model Soul as fit exclusions for their # DT25GR and # C67FR hitches as the rear of the vehicle is different enough on the Turbo model that it prevents the hitch from fitting. If you were wanting the hitch for carrying bikes, you could use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR for a 2-bike model or # SA803 for a 3-bike model.

  • How To Use Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack With Only One Bike
    In regards to the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR, if you're only carrying one bike it would need to be placed in the cradles closest to the vehicle. In regards to use with a spoiler, it doesn't actually put pressure on the spoiler although the straps may still come into contact. There will be no issues with spoiler use if factory and listed as a confirmed fit.

  • Is There a Lock for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack
    Yes, we do offer locks for the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack part # SAR83FR. The 8' Cable Lock and lock Loop for Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Racks part # SAR52FR is a two in one. It locks the bikes to the rack and then the rack to the vehicle. The rack to vehicle lock is just a loop that closes in the hatch and prevents the rack from being removed even with the straps off. The bike to rack lock is a more traditional steel cable with metal lock core.
