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?
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

See what our Experts say about this Saris Trunk Bike Racks
- 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,...
view full answer... - What Trunk Rack Do You Recommend For My 2017 Chevrolet TraverseThis is definitely something that I can speak to. I have carried bikes on trunk racks from Missouri to California and back and from Virginia to Missouri and back. My trunk rack recommendation for your 2017 Chevrolet Traverse is the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # SA801BL. This is the rack that I used to carry bikes across long distances. While it is not listed as a fit on our website, I did confirm on the Saris website that it is compatible with your vehicle....
view full answer... - Will Saris Bones 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Volvo XC70Yes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack # SA801BL will fit your 2016 Volvo XC70. 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. Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Will Saris Bones 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Carrier Fit 2013 Ford EdgeSaris does not recommend their Bones 3 bike carrier, part # SA801BL, for your 2013 Ford Edge. 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...
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...

This bike rack has dual arms that can be adjusted individually and also features anti-sway straps that keep your bike stable when traveling. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes with a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. I have attached a product review video you can check out. To keep the bike handlebars and wheels from moving about I recommend the Saris Bike Wheel Straps, part # SA3033. I have attached a product...
view full answer... - Carrying Bikes on a 2003 Scion xAThe Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C11488, is confirmed to fit your 2003 Scion xA and is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. This means you will need hitch adapter that expands to 2 inches in order to use your current bike rack. You need to know first that using an adapter does decrease your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. From my research your Scion isn't rated for towing at all so there really isn't a defined tongue weight. Check your owner's manual to see...
view full answer... - Can I Use Mountain Bikes with the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL?While the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL is compatible with mountain bikes, it is only compatible with your 2011 Toyota Corolla. 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...

The Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack # SA801BL that fits your 2014 Honda CR-V will work with your BMX bike but you will need an adapter bar like part # SA3040 to have a crossbar that fits with the hanging-style rack.

- Will the Saris Bones 3-Bike Rack Fit a 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback with SpoilerYes, 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 CoupeI reached out to the biggest suppliers of trailer hitches, and neither Curt or Cequent (the maker of draw-tite, reese and hidden hitch) have a fit for your 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 Coupe. 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.

This rack is very lightweight, can fold up for easy storage, and is easy to install. Check out the install video I attached for more info. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide...
view full answer... - Methods to Avoid Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier from Damaging Paint Finish on VehicleAny trunk-mount bike carrier will rest on part of the vehicle, primarily the bumper cover which supports most of the loaded rack's weight. Most trunk racks install in a similar manner, also using 4 to 6 straps to grip the outside edges of the hatch, which help distribute the total weight across more surface area and stabilize the rack when you are in motion. Since the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL is among the lightest available racks it is a good choice for your 2014 Juke. The clips that grip...

It also works well with your spoiler. Check out the attached video to see all of its great features.

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...

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

- Can the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier Part # SA801BL Handle Highway SpeedsYes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier part # SA801BL which is a fit for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon will be plenty fine traveling at highway speeds. The bike rack's position on the vehicle will be in a way that does not really catch much wind resistance so speed should not be too much of a concern. Just remember to use the Hatch Huggers part # SA3035 on the two side straps.
view full answer... - How to Make Sure that the Feet of the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL Sit Properly on a 2018 Toyota CamryWhen 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...

It is the Saris Bones and is available in 2 bike like the # SA805BL or 3 bike like # SA801BL. It is a very simple design and yet the beauty is in its simplicity. It is injection-molded plastic so it is durable and rustproof. It has rubber feet and vinyl coated hooks so it won't scratch your car's finish. It also separated the bikes on different levels. It is available in different colors too (black, gray, yellow,...

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...

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.

However, this bike rack will not fit the 2017 BMW X1. For this vehicle, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3. This rack is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X1.
