Saris Bones 805 2 Bike Trunk Mount Rack

Thank you

The top straps on this rack can be positioned high enough so that they don’t put any pressure on my car’s fragile “sporty extra” plastic spoiler (VW Golf GTD). The rack is solid, fairly easy to fit, adjust and remove, and even though I’ve fitted high it holds the bikes at an easy to reach level. It also stays put and thanks to the rubberised parts hasn’t caused any scratches on the bodywork. It’s far better than the cheap metal frame style rack I used to have, I’m glad I upgraded.

I've used trunk racks for many years, so the Saris Bones EX was no surprise to me. But... the build quality is head and shoulders above the pack. They recommend "Hatch Huggers" for my vehicle (Toyota Venza), so I bought those as well. They are a bit fiddly to install, but no big deal in the end. I use the rack to transport my Giant Fathom E+2 EMTB (battery removed) and it is VERY solid around corners and over bumps. Yes, the bike weight exceeds the 35lb per bike limit, but based on the fact that the rack is rated for 3 - 35lb bikes I feel that as long as I keep the bike closest to the vehicle I should have no problems. The straps that hold the bikes to the rack are excellent, and the adjustments are easy to make. I thinks it's great.

Ready to set up but could take 2 goes to get it spot in the first time. Easy to attach to the car. I have a Mercedes E220 saloon and it fits well. I would be concerned about the metal clips on the bit edges chipping or making the paint after time but it’s ok presently. It’s tricky putting on the two bikes but practice will make perfect.

Compré el soporte de 3 bicicletas para usarla con 2 grandes y evitar que se rayen entre sí, entran sin problema dos bicicletas grandes y una pequeña. La calidad de los materiales es buena y el armado es fácil, espero que sea resistente, sobre todo en las correas que son las que soportan todo el peso. Los broches que amarran a las bicicletas son grandes, eso permite que bicis con tubos grandes en los marcos entren sin problema y queden bien aseguradas(a diferencia de otros racks). Para las bicis que uso, (Trek Marlin) No fue necesario comprar tubos adicionales para poderla montar al rack. Mi única queja es que las correas no quedan puestas correctamente sobre el rack, quedan mal puestas y no hay manera de ponerlas correctamente ya que el peso las vence. Completamente recomendado.

Works perfectly well with a VW Taigo!
