Overview
Strapping to the trunk or hatch of a car, truck or van, the Saris Bones EX holds bikes on its arms with wheel straps. Hatch huggers and Protect-O-Pads are bundled, and the leg is shaped to clear most plastic spoilers.
A trunk-mounted rack answers the need to haul bikes without a hitch receiver, and the bundle adds the straps and pads for the install. The limitation is geometry: fit depends on the rear end of each vehicle, and no vehicle list is provided.
Who it's for
A family heading out for a weekend ride whose vehicle has a trunk or hatch but no hitch. Owners of vehicles with unusual rear ends, or anyone wanting a rack that locks bikes, should confirm fit and look at hitch designs.
Pros and cons
- Carries three bikes
- No hitch receiver needed
- Leg avoids most plastic spoilers
- Hold-down straps and pads included
- Vehicle fit list not provided
- Rests on trunk or hatch surface
- Lock or security feature not described
- Rubber material is the only build detail
Performance notes
Straps anchor the rack at the rear edges of the body, and the Protect-O-Pads sit between the rack and the paint. The leg is designed to avoid contact with most plastic spoilers on sedans, hatchbacks and SUVs, which matters because the load rests on the vehicle body. Wheel straps hold each bike in place during travel.
