Yes, the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek without the spoiler and will work great for transporting 2 bikes that weigh up to 35 pounds each.

This is an excellent trunk-mounted bike rack that has a nice arched design for improved clearance with the rear of your vehicle and articulated rubber feet to protect your Subaru's finish. I recommend adding the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 to secure your bikes to the carrier and the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to secure the carrier to your vehicle.

If you plan on carrying any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes, you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it works and why it might be needed.
