Saris Bones 801 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

The Best Trunk Rack I've ever used

I've used many trunk racks. Most of them have rubber straps that hold the bike to the rack, with holes in the strap to adjust their tightness. Inevitably, what happens is the strap is too loose (insecure) in one hole, and too tight (wearing out the rubber) in the next. And they dry rot. The Saris, on the other hand, uses a plastic, ratcheting strap that allows small, precise adjustment to tightness. It feels very secure. The metal core of the rack is aluminum, so it won't rust. The attachment straps run through the center of the core, which would make replacing them very easy. They also have metal cams, so getting them nice and tight is very easy. No more threading the strap through awkward plastic buckles, pulling hard to try to tighten them down. The legs of the rack are some kind of molded plastic, and despite their lightness, seem pretty strong. Instead of the crummy foam pads on many racks, the Saris uses a plastic or hard rubber pad at all surfaces that touch the car. I don't know how well they will wear, but they seem better than the foam. I also like the fact that the rack is made in the United States.

The only real downsides are common to most trunk racks:

1-No lock.
2-Bikes are pretty close to each other, and can rub against each other or have clearance issues.
3-the straps press any top-tube cables against the frame of the bike, and could cause wear.
4- While the arms can move closer or further apart from each other (very useful, and unique!), it still could be hard/impossible to attach some ladies or rear-suspension bikes.
5- A certain amount of fussing with bungees and/or pads may be needed with multiple bikes

I've used the Saris with 2 large mountain bikes, and it felt comfortable and solid. I'm not sure if I would recommend putting 3 large mountain bikes on it, but it would probably be fine. Road bikes shouldn't be an issue at all.

Saris Bones 3

The Saris Bones is a good bike rack. I'm sure other racks fit bikes much more easily than this one, but this rack is perfect for my car with a trunk spoiler. Mountain bike fits pretty snug and it is a squeeze but it gets the job done. Road bike fits much better.

Great Trunk Mount Bicycle Rack

I was introduced to the Saris Bones Bicycle through Saris's Website, never seen one in real life, until I received it. The Video Saris has on their website sold me. My car has a rear spoiler and the Saris rack fits perfect.

A little crowded

This was our first bike rack - we chose it based on customer reviews and the reputation of Saris. I liked it before we put it on the car - it's solid and the strap system is very secure. Mounting the rack onto the car was very straightforward. But... it took forever to get all 3 bikes on! The mounts are so close together that pedals were jamming into wheels, handlebars were jamming into seats, etc. One of our bikes is a child bike - if it weren't, I'm not convinced that we would have been able to mount all three. I suspect that this is a common problem. It would have been helpful if the mounting instructions included some tips for positioning things.

We also dented the back of the trunk door the first time we used the rack. Since then, we've positioned it lower so it pushes on the fender, and have not had any trouble. But again, a note about this in the instructions would have been nice.

saris bones 3 bike rack

awesome rack! very easy to install and very sturdy. the first time i used it i kept checking the bikes in the rearview mirror and they never moved. i even hit some bumps to see how they'd do and they still were stable. the feet don't scratch my car's paint, either. on top of that, it looks cool (and i'm so glad i could get it in purple!). great product!
