Saris Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack — Arc Design, Rust-Free 4.99 kg Carrier with Anti-Sway Straps

The Saris Bones EX 2-Bike trunk rack is a lightweight, rust-free carrier with an arc-based frame that securely transports two bikes while maximizing vehicle compatibility.

If you need a dependable trunk-mounted bike rack that combines durable construction, broad fit, and simple loading, the Bones EX is designed to solve those needs. At just 11 lbs, its injection-molded arms and legs resist corrosion and flex while the elevated arc layout keeps bikes separated to prevent contact and scuffs. Practical features like anti-sway straps, integrated strap management, and a QR compatibility check make this rack easy to install and reduce guesswork before purchase.

How does the Bones EX protect my bike and car during transport?

The Bones EX uses an arc-based frame that holds bikes on staggered levels so they don’t rub against each other or vehicle surfaces. Rubberized feet articulate to conform to your trunk contours and protect paint, and the anti-sway straps steady the bikes to prevent shifting on the road.

• Arc design separates bike contact points to limit frame-to-frame contact.
• Rubber feet pivot to match vehicle shape and safeguard finish.
• Anti-sway straps minimize movement and reduce noise while driving.
• Ratchet straps and strap management keep loads tidy and secure.

Will this rack fit my vehicle and which bikes will it carry?

The Bones EX is engineered to fit about 90% of popular vehicles, including many models with spoilers. Before buying, scan the included QR code to confirm compatibility for your exact make and model. The carrier supports two bikes, rated to 35 lb per bike, and works with most traditional frame shapes; an optional Bike Beam can help when a horizontal top tube is absent.

• Compatibility check via QR code reduces returns and installation surprises.
• Fits cars with spoilers and a wide variety of trunk profiles.
• Rated for two bikes up to 35 lb each; ideal for road, hybrid, and many mountain bikes.
• Bike Beam available for oversized or step-through frames.

How easy is it to install, load, and store the Bones EX?

The rack is lightweight at 11 lbs, making it straightforward to lift and position. Best-in-class ratchet straps and intuitive hold-downs speed the process of securing bikes. When not in use, the design nests compactly for storage and features integrated strap management to keep excess straps contained.

• Lightweight frame for quick install and removal by one person.
• Ratchet straps offer fast, repeatable tensioning for each bike.
• Premium hold-downs are easy to use and quick to load.
• Integrated caps keep leftover strap material neatly tucked away.

What materials and construction make the Bones EX long-lasting?

The Bones EX relies on injection-molded plastic components that resist rust and corrosion, unlike metal racks that can oxidize over time. The molded structure provides strength without heavy weight, and all contact surfaces are designed to protect both bikes and vehicle finishes from wear.

• Injection-molded arms and legs resist rust and retain structural integrity.
• Durable straps and buckles withstand repeated use and road vibration.
• Rubberized contact points cushion frames and car paint.
• Recyclable materials contribute to reduced environmental impact.
