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.

See what our Experts say about this Saris Trunk Bike Racks
- 3-Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2019 Hyundai SonataFor your 2019 Hyundai Sonata we have the really nice 3 bike trunk rack from Yakima, the Fullback part # Y02633, but the Saris rack you mentioned does not fit your vehicle.
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC-ClassYes. 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.
view full answer... - Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2016 Audi A3 E-Tron HatchbackWe have trunk mounted bike racks that fit the e-tron versions of the 2016 Audi A3 like you have with the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 but the Saris you mentioned does not fit so it would not be the way to go. I attached a picture of this rack installed on an E-tron just like yours for you to check out as well.

- 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.
view full answer... - 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... - Comparing The Yakima Fullback and Halfback to Saris Bones and Thule GatewayBetween all of the bike racks you mentioned I'd prefer the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634. The Fullbak is considered to be on the higher end of the trunk rack quality/feature spectrum yet they aren't that crazy expensive so the value for these two racks over the Saris Bones # SA801BL and especially Thule Gateway # TH88VR makes it the obvious choice. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat...
view full answer... - Replacement Thumb Screw Knobs for Saris Bones 2 and 3 Bike RacksWe do have the replacement thumb screws for the Saris Bones # SA805BL as well as for the 3 bike racks like # SA801BL. You will want the Replacement Knobs for Saris Bones Bike Carriers - Qty 6 # SA19881. This is the only quantity available but will give you some spares.
view full answer... - Mounting Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier Trunk Mount to 2016 Mazda CX-5I spoke with my contact at Saris and he confirmed that for your 2016 Mazda CX-5, the proper mounting location of the lower feet on the Saris Bones 3 Bike Carrier # SA801BL is in the rear license plate well. I have attached an image with a different model Bones Bike Carrier on a CX-5, but the fitment is the same.

- Is Spoiler Clearance an Issue for the Saris Bones 3 on a 2015 Toyota PriusSpoiler clearance is a very important thing when it comes to trunk mount bike racks because, as you mentioned, if there isn't enough clearance you could damage the spoiler. We have determined that the Saris Bones 3 bikes racks, like part # SA801BL, on a 2015 Toyota Prius is a confirmed fit. I can also say that Saris has tested and approved their bike rack for use on your vehicle. I have added a review video of this bike rack for you to check out.
view full answer... - How to Carry Bike Without Horizontal Top Tube on Hanging Bike RackThere's an adapter made specifically for allowing bikes like yours that do not have a horizontal top tube to be carried on a hanging bike rack like the Saris Bones # SA801BL that you mentioned. What you'd need is the adapter part # UB01. This attaches to the steering stem and the seat post to provide the attachment point for the rack. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

- Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Ford Eco-SportGood news! We have a two 3-bike trunk racks that will fit on your 2019 Ford EcoSport. First we have the Saris Guardian 3-bike rack # SAR43FR. This is quick and easy to install and remove and it folds flat for storage. It has a capacity to carry bikes that weigh 35 pounds each. We also have the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633. This rack is also quick and easy to install and remove. I would recommend this rack over the Saris because it has adjustable arms that have SuperCush anti-sway...
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...
view full answer... - Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack that Wont Scratch or Dent 2015 Mercedes-Benz 300CLet me begin by saying that anytime you have a piece of equipment strapped to the painted finish of a vehicle, the potential for scratches or dents exists, no getting around it. This being said, the risks can be minimized by putting as little weight as possible on the racks and by observing the racks weight capacity, by installing the rack exactly as described in the instructions, and by keeping the surfaces where the rack and vehicle touch absolutely clean. A good coat of quality car...
view full answer... - 4-Bike Rack Solution for 2019 Toyota RAV4 That Allows Rear Hatch to OpenBetween the Saris Bones # SA801BL and the Yakima Fullback part # Y02633. I'd recommend the Yakima as I believe it's easier to install and use and it has a wider contact pad for where it touches your 2019 Toyota RAV4. Now since you mentioned wanting to open the rear hatch and carry 4 bikes I have a different route I would recommend as you cannot carry 4 bikes with a trunk rack (too much weight on the rear of the vehicle) and the hatch cannot be lifted with the rack installed. Instead your...
view full answer... - Can Beach Cruisers be Carried with Trunk Bike Rack Saris BonesAs long as the beach cruisers you have weigh less than 35 lbs per bike the Saris Bones # SA801BL would be fine. If your bikes are heavier you'd need a hitch bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z with a hitch like the # 36660 and you'd be set.
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...

- 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...
view full answer... - Will the Saris Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Honda HR-VYes, you can use the Saris Bones trunk mount bike rack # SA801BL on your 2016 Honda HR-V. In order for a proper and safe fit you will also need Hatch Huggers # SA3035. These will replace the side hooks on the rack so that the bike rack can be installed.
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...
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... - How Difficult is it to Install the Draw-Tite Hitch # 24796 on a 2014 Nissan Altima The Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch receiver, # 24796, is one of the more labor intensive installations for a trailer hitch on the 2014 Nissan Altima. The installation of the this hitch is rated a 9 out of 10 difficulty with an average install time at around 1-1/2 hours. The difficulty is the installation has to doe with the removal the mufflers, disassembly of the trunk interior, and the drilling of four holes to mount the hitch to the vehicle. If you think this might be too difficult...

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 Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier Fit a 2016 Toyota HighlanderThe Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier part # TH911XT is not listed as a fit for a 2016 Toyota Highlander according to Thule but I do have an option for you that is, the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for your Highlander. I have attached a video of the 2-bike version of the Saris Bones # SA805BL, which is also a fit for your Highlander, for you to see all of its great features.

This rack is an adjustible, trunk mounted rack that has a sleek, easy install design that also folds up when not in use, so you don't need to remove it. Since the 2016 Honda CR-V has a hatchback, you'll need the Hatch Huggers, part # SA3035, to easily mount to the hatch by threading through its gap without having to clip to the more sensitive parts of the rear hatch. If you plan on carrying a Women's, Step Through or Aggressive (BMX or Mountain)...
