Editorial Review: Product Description: Support more than your bike with the cause-conscious Saris® Bones 3-bike trunk track. For every pink rack purchased, Saris® will make a donation to support breast cancer research. The Bones rack features an arched design that fits practically any vehicle, and the exclusive anti-sway straps and articulated rubber feet protect both your bike and your vehicle. Amazon.com Product Description: Form and function collide with the Saris Bones three-bike trunk mount rack. Conceived by famed designer Fabio Pedrini, the Bones is more than just another rear-mounted rack. Rather, the gallery-worthy rack is a testament to style, design, convenience, and durability, with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from Bicycling Magazine. An efficient bike rack needs to be more than just a way to transport your bike from point A to point B. It needs to be easy to use, easy to install, and easy on two of your most prized possessions: your bike and your vehicle. Fortunately, the Bones meets the above conditions with room to spare, with ratchet straps that keep your bikes secured to the rack arms, exclusive anti-sways, and articulated rubber feet to protect the finish on your vehicle. As a result, nothing will get damaged in transport, including your nerves. In addition, the Bones is a breeze to install, with vinyl-coated hooks that strap securely to the car with spring buckles. And the arched design fits practically any vehicle, from sedans to minivans, and even most cars with spoilers.
Note: The pink and purple cause-conscious racks let you support more than your bike, as $5 from the sale of each rack goes toward either breast cancer research (pink) or research into the cures for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma (purple). About Saris Cycling Group Saris Cycling Group traces its origins back to 1973, when the Graber brothers invented their first bike rack. The Grabers sold the bike rack company in 1989 to Chris and Sara Fortune, who created the Saris brand in 1992, and followed it up with CycleOps in 1999 and PowerTap in 2001. As a constant innovator, the Madison, Wisconsin-based company introduced the first PowerTap-equipped indoor cycle in 2004, making it possible for riders train with precision. Boasting a company of dedicated product managers, ingenious engineers, creative designers, and hardworking employees, Saris Cycling Group keeps its customers on the cutting edge of bike design.

 Rating:  - Easy to use, and great customer serviceI bought this rack to attach to my Audi A3 hatchback. It goes on and off very easily. One of the nylon straps became severed during the first outing. I think the strap was rubbing against the metal tube that runs horizontally on the rack. I e-mailed the customer service department at Saris and they sent a replace set of straps at no cost in a matter of days. I was very pleased with the company's responsiveness. I've not had any problems with this rack, and it works perfectly for ... Read More Rating:  - Great bike rack!I bought the 3-bike Saris Bones model after reading a number of reviews online. I love the way it looks on my car (a 2008 Subaru WRX), and it easily clears the wing on the trunk. Some people have complained that the feet make indentations on the bumper, but I can only imagine this is caused by people not mounting the rack correctly as I've found that most of the stability comes from the straps, not necessarily from the feet. I have done a few 500+ mile road trips with one bike, and made a 100+ round ... Read More Rating: - No Bones With This RackThis is a great rack. Works on most sedans and SUVs. Well made, very stable, and looks good. Folds almost flat for easy storage. Holds bikes securely. My only negative comment is the anti-sway strap and rest are on the side of the bike and their placement is not a good fit for the geometry of out bikes. Otherwise the rack is first rate and well designed. Rating: - You get what you pay forThe Saris Bones may be pricey for a trunk mount bike rack, but you get what you pay for. This rack is well built, relatively easy to install and fits on a wide range of vehicles. We have a sedan and SUV in our household, and it fits great on both. I also have a friend with a truck, and it even fits on the tailgate. Very versatile design. The center of the design is an aluminum tube frame with gear-like ribs that the arms slide onto. The ribs extend 360 degrees around the tube, making for ... Read More Rating: - Stylish rack for Honda CR-V, but plastic parts are certain to wear out.A friend of mine has used this rack for years and loves it, so I purchased one for my fiance's '09 Honda CR-V. Saris' fitment guide doesn't list the Bones 3 as fitting a Honda CR-V, but the rack is adjustable enough that it'll fit just about any vehicle. The arms of the Bones are constructed of PVC which are attached to an aluminum cross member which is notched to accept the teeth on the arms, giving the Bones alot of flexibility and adjustment options. The installation instructions aren't well-detailed, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display
