Saris Bones Car Trunk Bicycle Rack Carrier, Mounts 2 Bikes, Black - Durable, Rust-Free, Anti-Sway Straps, Fits Most Vehicles, Made in USA, Arc-Based Design, 100% Recyclable Materials

It's a really good bike rack for its value! It's easy to adjust to different cars, and bikes are fixed firmly (you just need to add extra straps to fix the wheels). Once lock the rack will not move. Very ingenious system for the price!

perfect for my bike excursions

This 2 bike rack works very well with sedans that have a 4" horizontal bumper protrusion upon which the two lower legs rest. If yours slopes, it won't work well. This rack is mounted at the front of the trunk lid, sides of the trunk lid, and bottom of the trunk lid of a sedan, with 6 strong, woven nylon straps and on-board clamp-locking strap hardware. The rack's straps' hooks are stamped with mounting location and covered in a rubbery coating to prevent marring of the mounting areas of the car. When the mounting straps are pulled equally taut, hooked at 6 points and the ratcheting straps for securing the bike frames to the rack are also pulled tightly, neither of the bicycles move very much at all while underway. If you stop short, the bikes will not contact the body of the car. Stow all kickstands. The feet do not mar the car's finish. Just inspect them first. I advise to purchase additional elastic, Velcro straps to secure the bikes' wheels to points on the bike's frame, or to each other, to prevent them from windmilling while you're transporting. I advise to remove all saddlebags from the bikes and place them in the vehicle. It is easier to mount the bikes on the rack without them, as one bike faces left and the other faces right. You can remount the bags when you reach your destination. If either or both of the bikes have sloping head tubes, you'll need a beam which mounts one end under the handlebar, and the rear end at the top of the seatpost, so that the bike is level when on the rack. Load capacity is 70 lbs.

Works well. The straps are a little difficult to close. May just be me. Good buy. I am totally satisfied.

This bike rack was relatively easy to put together. It feels fairly sturdy, although with only one base arm on the top of the trunk (tripod stability), I did notice with my first use that the rack did shift slightly when driving extensive distances. For some reason, the clasp part of the anchor straps on one side of the rack were practically inside the frame; and on the other side, they were about 4"-6" away from the frame, which made it much easier to adjust the straps on one side of the rack versus the other.Main complaint about this rack: as it is designed to have the lower arms sit on the bumper, not the back wall of the trunk lid, it makes it a challenge to open the trunk, because you must line everything up just-so in order to close the trunk. I used it for long-distance bike hauling, which meant when I wanted to get something out of the trunk, I had to readjust the rack every time I needed to open the trunk, making sure the feet lined up so they would not get in the way of closing the trunk, and that all the straps were still in place. As I was on the road for four days, and did not want to leave my bike unattended on my car overnight (despite security strap into trunk), I had to open my trunk each night to put the security strap anchor back inside the trunk, so this was not something to not fret about. (Also, historically, I have simply left my bike rack on my car for long periods of time, and this trunk open/close issue means I'll only keep the rack on the car when I actually need it.)On this rack, as with previous bike racks I've owned, I do wish there was a bit of rubber on the clasps to help make the straps feel more secure once everything is tightened up. Minor complaint.Ease of use once assembled/in place: feel like it is pretty easy to get bikes onto this rack. Second bike was a little bit of a challenge to get it on, but I think that was more due to how the frames of the two bikes aligned more than a flaw of the rack design. I do wish the strap on the lower part of the rack, meant to secure the vertical bar of the bike frame, was perhaps two inches longer.There are holes at the end of the straps that you can loop a lock through (or a thin cable wire lock). They're more theft-deterrent than theft-preventative, as they're plastic, so a determined bike thief could cut through them, I think.Overall, compared to my previous rack, I like this one quite a bit. Feels sturdy. Straps drive me a bit nuts, but honestly, I have yet to have a bike rack where the straps aren't aggravating in one form or another. Easy to remove rack from car.
