Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack

Works perfectly on our Chevy Bolt EV--easy to install (especially when you look at the pictures on your website), sturdy, and well priced

Easy to install and secures the bikes well

The Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack works great for my needs. It's even better than I expected it to be.

I was very disappointed with the Bones EX-2 that I purchased. I found the construction to be far inferior to an older Saris Bones rack that I have and can’t say enough good things about. The new version feels too cheap and “plasticky” and the strap and hook system, frankly, sucks. I found it difficult to get them tight enough. The old model has a real ratchet system that gives me confidence the rack is secure.

The worst part of this model, though, is that no matter how I configured the legs, the upper legs would not sit flush on the rear window. They kept pulling away and as I was driving I could see the feet moving loosely on their pivots. I did not feel confident that my bikes and the rack would even stay on the car for my 500 mile round trip.

And Saris, please don’t suggest I didn’t follow instructions or I should have called for assistance. I did my research, followed instructions and even referred to your own videos.

I really wish my old model would work on my current car. Saris really needs to go old school and stick with materials and mechanisms that work well.

I wish I could do 4.5 stars. The rack is sturdy and easy to install once I figured out how to place the legs on my car. The instructions and website is cumbersome to navigate. I hope I can return the hatch huggers. Not needed once I found the specific car recommendations. I would recommend this. Opened up more opportunities to take my bike exploring.
