Saris Bike Racks 101
When starting your search for a bike rack, the best place to start is by asking yourself: where on your car do you want to carry bikes?
WHAT IS A BIKE RACK?
A bike rack is a type of bicycle accessory that attaches to a vehicle to transport one or more bikes.
WHICH BIKE RACK IS BEST FOR ME?
In the car rack world, there are three locations to choose from: trunk, hitch and roof. We only manufacture trunk and hitch racks. If you’re looking for something specific to fit inside vans, SUVs and trucks, we have the Traps Single and Traps Triple Track.

Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack
A Leg Above the Rest
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. This simple, yet game-changing design by Fabio Pedrini transformed the iconic trunk rack into one that could fit 90% of the top 50 vehicles sold in the USA. 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.
Bones EX 2-Bike Trunk Rack Highlights
- Best fit around: fits 90% of the top vehicles sold, including those with spoilers.
- VIP Treatment: premium bike hold downs that are easy to use and quick to load.
- Articulated rubber feet to protect paint.
- Strong & Rust-Free: injection-molded arms and legs keep the rack solid for years to come.
