A Great Find!
"I looked long and hard for a solid bike rack that would carry several bikes, not scratch my vehicles and be easy to install. I pretty much narrowed my search down to the Bones 3, but after talking with a bike store manager over the phone, he convinced me I needed to look at the Bones RS also. The Bones RS, by far, turned out to be the best trunk rack I ever saw. It wasn't cheap, but I feel I got a great rack ..." Read Full Review »

Saris Bones RS
"I drive a mercedes GL450. I went with the Saris because it was the cleanest looking and simplest to install. THe problem is that the pads that rest against the car scratch the paint. I have used it twice and both times the rack has scratched the paint. I'm returning it today. I think the rack needs the side straps in addition to the top 2 straps to prevent the side to side movement which caused the scra..." Read Full Review »

"Found this by accident. Was browsing for a bike rack 'til a came across this on Saris website. I was intrigue by the limited amount of straps--just 2! Unlike other racks that I've seen and used gone are the "spider," nylon straps that take forever to adjust and remove. Once you've measured out …" Read Full Review »

"This rack fills the bill for an easy to install, solid stable rack. It is perfect for quickly removing and installing. The one problem is that if you own a hatch back like my Subaru Forester, the straps that hook on to the top of the hatch back rest on the paint as they come over the top and bend do …" Read Full Review »

"After one week of use the Saris Bones RS seems to be a great option for a trunk mounted rack. It took the bike shop and me about 20 minutes to figure out how it worked, but now it's a snap to attach (about 30 seconds) and remove (about 20 seconds). Bikes load very easily and don't move. My old bone …" Read Full Review »
