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!

Faster and cheaper than other online re tailers

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.

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.
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.

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

Easy hook up ...handles two bikes very well.. good quality
by: Leo P02/14/2014

See what our Experts say about this Saris Trunk Bike Racks
- 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...

For that you would want a trunk mounted bike rack. A very popular option that would work well is the Saris Bones part # SA801BL which is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and is one of the nicest racks around at a great price. Check out the...

I have attached a link to all of the 3-bike options for you to check out. The Saris Bones bike rack that you referenced is available in a 3-bike version as part # SA801BL and it will fit your Sienna as long as it does not have a spoiler. If your Sienna has a spoiler, then I can only recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top...

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...
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... - Does Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL Fit 2005 Ford Mustang Convertible with SpoilerYes, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Ford Mustang convertible with a rear spoiler. The arced legs of the rack allow it to fit right over the top of the spoiler without issue. This will work great to allow you to carry your bikes and won't require you to install a hitch either. 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...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Bones 3 Fit a 2006 Scion xA 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. I have attached a sample install video...
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Does Saris Bones Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Volvo C70 with the Top Up and DownThe top straps on the Saris Bones bike rack # SA801BL are meant to attach to the front lip of the trunk lid on the 2010 Volvo C70. There has to be a gap for the hooks to attach to so as long as that is present with the top up and down on the vehicle then you can use the bike rack in either vehicle configuration. You will want to remove the rack prior to opening or closing the roof. The configuration of the rack should not be different with the top up or down.
view full answer... - Comparing Installation of Saris Bones 3 To Yakima and Thule Trunk Mounted Rack on 2008 Lexus IS 250I can help answer the questions you have about the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL. You are correct that the plastic ratcheting cradles will make attaching the bike to the rack easier than the rubber straps. Typically the rubber will stretch easier in warmer climates and loosen up after repeated use. You are also correct that because they are plastic they have a higher chance of breaking especially in colder weather conditions. We haven't heard of any cases of the buckle breaking or coming...

- Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Audi A3 Hatchback and 3 Beach Cruiser BikesWhile the 3-bike version of the Saris Bones bike rack # SA801BL physically fits your 2013 Audi A3 hatchback it is limited to 2 bikes according to the fit notes from Saris. 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... - 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.

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...

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....

The Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL is a confirmed fit on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC and is a great choice to carry up to 3 bikes on the back of your vehicle. Saris was the pioneer in the car mounted bike rack back in the 1970s and they really make a great product that also looks good, too.

So instead you'd need a hitch like the # C11254 so that you could carry a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination part # HLY94FRwhich is lighter weight, easy to load, and very stable. The lighter duty hitches like what fit lighter duty vehicles like yours are limited to carrying up to two bikes...
view full answer... - Are Hatch Huggers Required for Saris Bones Bike Rack on 2016 Jeep RenegadeI checked with Saris, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack part # SA801BL which is a fit for a 2016 Jeep Renegade requires the Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks part # SA3035 to be installed in place of the upper hooks. There isn't a specific spot for these though, just place them inside the hatch and close it. They should align properly when the lower feet are set. The lower rack feet will then need to be placed into the license plate well.

The biggest difference between this and the Saris Bones # SA801BL is the Bones rack has adjustable arms. Both are great options for your vehicle, so it just depends on how much adjustability you desire.

My favorite choice for your convertible application is the Saris Bones. These are exceptionally light in weight (very important in the case of your 328i), moderately-priced and American-made. You also have a choice of colors, a unique Saris feature, that can help make your vehicle more visible to other motorists. The 3-bike Bones is...

The pivot points of the rack are simply for adjusting the angle of the rack instead of the tightness. For adjusting the tightness, that comes from the tightening the little black knobs and the cam buckles.
