The Bones trunk rack made a name for itself in the mid-90’s, and 25 years later it’s doing it again. How? By expanding its vehicle compatibility to fit 20% more of the most popular vehicles, including those with spoilers.
Featuring a unique arched leg, the Bones EX gracefully avoids contact with most plastic spoilers found on many of the best-selling sedans, hatch backs and SUVs. Equipped with premium bike hold downs and a streamlined strap management system, the Bones EX is penning its own chapter in history books.
And just like its legendary predecessor, the Bones EX is made in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, with locally sourced materials that’ll last a lifetime.

Easy to out in Lexus SUV and steady, although back up cam is blocked. Ended up with a broken spoke from the wheel strap but fortunately a bike shop near our home for quick repair.

I very happy with my purchase. The rack is sturdy and was easy to install after eating a you tube video as the instructions were a little lacking. I also purchased the hatch hugger which gave memuch more confidence for my 1100 mile trip. Would recommend to others

Was easy to install and position on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. For my mountian bikes, I needed the optional crossbar adapter that allows the bike to sit level, but I expected that and ordered it with the rack.

Straps not marked upper, side and bottom. Why not show in your instruction booklet what the shape of the hooks means? I agree with other reviewers the instruction booklet is confusing. Safety should be first with this sort of product. Saris falls short.
