Saris T-bones 3 Bike Universal Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK... I haven't seen any reviews for this rack, so I thought I would write one and spare you all the hassle of owning it and going through what I went through...

Let me start off by saying that this is a really cool design, and it would def be a nice rack IF it worked as shown in the video, BUT it doesn't!! Every time the temp would get above the 80s my rack would NOT "slide" on and off the base. In fact, it was very hard to get on and off... and was often stuck for an extended period of time and I could not get into my trunk! Talk about a PAIN!! I actually had the company I ordered it from send out a new receiver part thinking mine was defective... It worked fine for about a week UNTIL the temp went up again. I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing the plastic expands in the heat???

If you buy this rack and you live anywhere that experiences a humid summer season be prepared to 'fight' with it to get it on and off. I'm talking full body weight leaning on it practically jumping up and down to get it on... and then not even being able to get it off. IT'S MORE OF A WORKOUT THAN RIDING THE BIKE!

I eventually returned it (fully assembled because I could not get it apart) for a new rack. BUMMER!!

SARIS CYCLE ON PRO HITCH RACK 2 BIKE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a quality bike rack. Very easy to use, durable, and bikes are secure on it - no wobbling. It is quite a bit more expensive than other racks, but well worth the money. I have had hitch mount racks in the past and this is much better. The bikes do not hit up against each other and you don't have to use bungee cords on the wheels or handlebars.

Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this rack to haul my bike around.I drive a Cadillac CTS-v.The rack works as Saris markets.I have not hauled three bikes but have done two.No problems what so ever.The rack secures nicely to my trunk lid.The fit is a little awkward as the suction cup brace things don't fit well on the edge of my trunk lid BUT the rack still secures nicely - doesn't move around, doesn't damage the pain, doesn't bend or scratch the trunk lid.

One thing that was not mentioned in the instructions is the fact that the front wheel kind of swings (from the unrestricted turning of the bars and wheel) back and forth in the wind.I used a small bungee cord to tie the front wheel to the rack.This isn't a big deal and the wheel wasn't turning back and forth to much but I simply want everything solidly attached and not moving.Plus if for some reason my skewer decided to vibrate loose and let my $400 front wheel fall from the bike, the bungee will hold on to it.-probably a bit over protective on my part.

Overall this rack is nice.The locking straps work great and the key really does as advertised.They have plenty of torque with the ratchet system so be careful not to over tighten.The bike is very stable once strapped in.The straps themselves are VERY easy to secure and to release.Installing the rack on the car took a little effort the first time.Now it takes all of 30 seconds - 45 seconds if I lock the straps.Taking it off consists of giving the straps some slack and then simply removing the rack from the car.Literally it takes 15-30 seconds to remove it from the car.You can open the trunk with the rack on.You may have to assist it when you hit the "pop trunk button" but opening the trunk is no problem - obviously don't try to open the trunk with a bike on the rack.

Great rack overall.I would highly recommend this rack!

Product Description:
One of the annoyances with trunk-mounted racks has always been the straps. With the Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, the straps have been eliminated. In their place is a ratcheting system with rubber-coated clips and steel-belted bands for a quick, secure fit on a wide variety of vehicles, including sedans and minivans.
In addition to eliminating clumsy, unreliable straps, this rack also eliminates the hassle of wrestling bikes onto a roof rack. The Bones RS is at the most convenient place possible--right in front of you, on the rear of your vehicle. The pivoting, anti-sway frame grips can be tilted for greater bike stability and the support arms can be moved closer together or further apart to fit just about any bike from road to mountain, adult to child.
