Saris Bones 3 Thoughts and Ideas
The Saris Bones 3 Bike Trunk Rack does exactly what the name suggests. It holds 3 bikes on a rack that can be attached to your car’s trunk. This method of attaching a rack to your trunk instead of putting your bikes in your car or on top of your car is superior because you will have more room for other things inside your car (like your friends or family) and you will be protecting your bike from bug splatter. We all know someone (or maybe you have done it yourself) who has driven through a drive through or into a garage with bikes in your roof top bike rack. That can cause damage to the garage/drive through, your bike (or bikes!) and even your car. With the Saris Bones 3, you will no longer have to worry about doing that!
The Saris
saris bones 3 is very easy to assemble and attached to your car. All you need to do I mount it on your trunk and bumper. The design allows you to move the arm in such a way that allows for adhering the bike rack to almost every sort of car or truck on the market. This is an adjustable rack and is held in place by 6 straps that secure to the top and sides of your trunk with two bottom straps that connect to the bottom of your rear bumper. The 6 straps that attach to the painted portions of your vehicle have a rubber protector piece to ensure that your car will not be dented or scratched by the Saris Bones 3. There are four feet that transfer the weight of the rack and bikes to your car and upper bumper. The feet are made of a thermoplastic that will not cause damage to your car.
The bikes themselves are held in place by the top tube and with an anti-sway strap that holds your bike at the seat tube. If you mount the three bikes in opposite directions, they won’t touch or damage each other or the car. By putting your bikes are the rear of the vehicle, you ensure ultimate safety to the bikes and to your car. The rack is very sturdy and resistant to bumpy, rocky or hilly road conditions and even the toughest of winds. You can travel safely knowing your bikes aren’t going anywhere.
The Saris
saris bones 3 has an arc-based design and the arm has three different spots for bikes. Because the arm is also arced, your bikes are all at different levels, further ensure that they won’t touch and your chains won’t get stuck together. The straps that hold your bikes on the rack ratchet close, so you can be at ease knowing the bikes are safely and tightly attached to the rack. The Saris Bones 3 folds flat so once you arrive to your destination; you can take the rack off of your vehicle. The arms are injection-molded for the strongest build quality on the market. The Saris Bones 3 is made of 100% recyclable, non-rusting materials and can hold up to 100 pounds worth of bikes.
