Saris Bones 805 2 Bike Trunk Mount Rack

This was an Amazon certified product from Amazon UK but when I opened the box was definately a second hand item. Had to keep it as I waited too long and needed this item. General very hard to use the product also.

I have used it for two 8-hour trips (both of these with heavier bikes - 2 old 80's roadbikes once, and 1 80's roadbike and a hybrid the 2nd time), a 2-hour trip (2 new light road bikes and a new light hybrid) and a 1-hour trip (2 new light roadbikes). And a couple of times for short jaunts elsewhere. I am really happy with this. After some experimenting, I found optimal placement for the inside bike pedal to not scratch the car and to be able to avoid the pedals of the 2nd bike - inside pedal zip-tied to the downward support - and to keep the pedals from rotating and potentially scratching the back of the car. After all of that, I know for sure that I trust this thing with my bikes. I recommend that you drive a couple of miles and then stop and re-tighten the straps that hold it on, as sometimes they jiggle a little bit loose after you start driving (not the manufacturer's fault - if anything, it would be my own fault at time of installation). I loaned this out since it can be easily adjusted to fit various cars. No paint or clear coat scratching (except where I incorrectly tied it to the car the first time - my fault - find places to attach the straps where they aren't laying against / touching / rubbing against the clear coat), but there could be a little bit of clear coat smudging where the rubber feet sit on the trunk (not scratches though). Nothing that is very noticeable though, you have to look for it. It is easy to attach and use, gets easier each time, although because of its flexibility and security there are several (necessary) steps to attaching it to the car and attaching the bikes to it. These steps are easy, though.

I've had these before and they are very reliable. This one worked for my suv, but just barely - wish I had noticed the other version first. The straps are more substantial than they used to be I believe - great for strapping down, but it can be a bit of work lifting the innermost bikes in past the first set of straps.

Excelente producto muy buena calidad , de lo mejor que he comprado comparado con los que hay actualmente.

Hält gut und wenn einnmal montiert unnd justiert einfache erneute Montage. Fahrräder halten gut, während der Fahrt wackelte nichts. Achtung: Max. Fahrradgewicht einhalten. Habe bei den ebikes akku, und Räder demontiert, dann gings.

Purchased this for a trip up the NSW coast on the back of a Citroen Grand Picasso. Worked perfectly - easy to put on, held firm, not a worry about it holding 2 adult bikes. Great buy.
