    Secure and we'll built
    I really like how well built this rack is and how sort the rubber pads are that contact the car. The straps that secure the actual bike are a soft enough rubber compound that I don't anticipate any issues with my bikes finish being scratched. The anti sway attachment for the bottom tube also works well and the bike doesn't move much even over big speed bumps on my lowered car with stiff coilovers. My bike a commencal Clash is a heavy bike likely at or slightly above the 35lb/bike limit and it showed no issues.However 4 stars due to the lack of any real way to secure the entire unit to the vehicle... If somebody wanted to steal the bike and entire rack nothing loops totally thru the trunk to prevent someone from loosening all 6 straps and simply stealing the entire thing.You could call this nitpicking but with the price of mountain bikes these days in the multiple thousands this should be thought about with a future version.

    So this is my first use of a strap on bike rack. I’ve always had cars with receiver hitches but my current car does not! So after deciding the BMW tax was just too high to put on a receiver hitch I opted for the saris rack. It took a while to get the straps sorted out and to determine the optimal position for the rack but once mounted it is really stout and does not move at all. Overall a great rack for a hitchless car!

    Got this during covid and had it for several years now. It was easy to put on the car and I love how it tilts down to help me get my bikes on and off. And so I can open my hatchback. Initially I ordered this product from another company but after several days I found out they didn't have any in stock. I contacted company directly and they were able to help me out. Their customer service was awesome. They got me hooked up with this item and I love it. Use it all the time when the weather is nice.

    NOTE: You will need bungee cords or straps (not included) to keep your bikes' front wheels from moving around.

    I bought this after I had to start borrowing a car that did not have a hitch. I wanted a bike rack that was more versatile than my hitch-mount bike rack -- something I could use on most cars. The Saris Bones EX fit the bill.

    I bought one of these and had to return it for another one due to Saris' poor quality control. A Committed To Quality card with a hand-initialed QC Check is included with each rack but the QC checks aren't being properly done. Even though they were brand new, the first one smelled like cigarette smoke and was really dirty. It was also missing one of the two strap management caps. The second one didn't have those problems but the ratchets were installed incorrectly so I had to redo them. The included instructions aren't very detailed so having the ratchets installed incorrectly added to the confusion of mounting this rack for the first time.

    The Saris rack is fairly sturdy but not as sturdy as my hitch-mount rack. But I guess that's to be expected of just about any trunk-mount rack. Still, I was disappointed to discover my bicycle, a Priority Continuum Onyx, didn't mount completely flush against the rack. The bicycle has a relatively standard frame but the seat tube has about an inch of space between it and where the hold down is attached to the rack. The hold down keeps it somewhat sturdy but there is that inch of space for movement. It seems like Saris could easily redesign the seat tube hold downs to better secure a wider range of bike frame geometries.

    The bike rack fit a 2018 Honda Fit well and it appears to be able to fit quite a wide variety of vehicle shapes.

    Overall, despite Saris' quality control problems and my bike not fitting snugly, I still recommend this bike rack due to its ability to fit a wide range of car shapes.

    Terrible product, even worse customer service.

    Installed for a three hour card journey. Followed instructions carefully as it was the first time I'd used it. One hour into our journey my ten years old's bike was swinging around on the back of the car sticking out into the traffic. Had to stop to secure it and realized the strap had sheered off (see photo).

    Contacted customer service for a refund or replacement and was told it was over a month since the purchase so there was no refund. It was the first time I used it (a previous trip I had originally intended to use it for earlier in the month was cancelled). The bike is a kid's Trek Wahoo, weighs 22 pounds, hardly heavy weight and well within the recommended bike weight.

    The one positive was the install was fairly easy, with clear instructions in a well laid out booklet; pity then that the product didn't stand up to the same production values.

    Do buy if you want to cause an accident, damage your car, and throw your money away.
    Don't buy if you've got a brain!

    I bought this, more than I wanted to spend, but worth the cost. I'd do it again. Bought it because we have a Honda CRV which has a plastic overhang "spoiler" over the hatchback. The other rack I bought first said it would fit the Honda but it had no allowance for the plastic spoiler and wanted to crack and smash it during installation.
    This Saris rack addressed that and said so in the product listing. They told the truth, it is made to work with these types of cars. Unlike the first Tiger rack we tried, the Saris is strong and after 3 weeks hasn't moved even a 1/4" from where we mounted it. The straps don't slack. The rack is highly recommended.

    I bought the 3-bike version because of its higher weight tolerance but I wouldn't load more than two unless one is a child's bike. I'm not saying that it can't do it but I just didn't get that good feeling- lots of bouncy bounce on that outer-most rung in the driveway. My first rack had some hairline cracks in both arms at the same point in their arch so I sent it back as the box it came in was damaged as well. My second one looked good and operated very well. After two 100 mile trips, one in the rain and one in the dry, I experienced no problems but I will say that I highly recommend that after loading the bikes, pull-over a mile or two down the road and tighten things up one more time. No fault of the device but things loosen up from the shifting of the bikes and the swaying of the vehicle. For me, the side and bottom straps had slop in them even though I tightened them well in the driveway. After that, everything remained tight. One other thing, there are anti-sway straps under the arms that can be forgotten but those are pretty much hit and miss in terms of lining up or conforming to the style bike you have. They didn't work for me, not even close, but I didn't really need them. Buy plenty of bungee cords instead- you'll need them. I'll update in a year.

    I might have gotten one that had some defects bc several things broke and I wasn't able to use it. But it fit fine on my car and it wasn't hard to install. The straps were strong and it was able to hold both on my bikes. I just didn't like that the bike straps broke so easily. I had to return

    Compré el soporte de 3 bicicletas para usarla con 2 grandes y evitar que se rayen entre sí, entran sin problema dos bicicletas grandes y una pequeña.

    La calidad de los materiales es buena y el armado es fácil, espero que sea resistente, sobre todo en las correas que son las que soportan todo el peso.

    Los broches que amarran a las bicicletas son grandes, eso permite que bicis con tubos grandes en los marcos entren sin problema y queden bien aseguradas(a diferencia de otros racks).

    Para las bicis que uso, (Trek Marlin) No fue necesario comprar tubos adicionales para poderla montar al rack.

    Mi única queja es que las correas no quedan puestas correctamente sobre el rack, quedan mal puestas y no hay manera de ponerlas correctamente ya que el peso las vence.

    Completamente recomendado.
