What customers say about "Key Specs"
Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack
- The straps are easy to latch down and loosen.
- The straps are a very sturdy design.
- Very well designed and easy to manipulate and keep the bikes secure.
- The straps that hold the bikes are strong and well placed.
- Easy to mount and fasten on the trunk.
Thule Passage Trunk (910XT) Mount Carrier
- The bikes appeared secure and moved only minimally during the trip. All in all I am very happy with this purchase and I'm sure you will be too.
- I have been driving around Boston area roads which are renown for their potholes and so far the carrier and bikes have been holding up very well and feel safely mounted.
- This is a pretty basic, but sturdy bike rack for my Mercedes. It's light enough for one person to install it quickly which is a bonus for me.
- This bike carrier seemed to get the job done. Bought it to fit on a 2016 Outback it also fits on 2007 Equinox.
- Fits a 2011 Buick Regal excellent and I haven't had any issues to date.

What customers say about "Construction"
Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack
- The bike rack seems pretty sturdy.
- I am impressed with the design, quality and construction of the rack.
- It's fairly easy to install and take off, and it is compact and lightweight for storage.
- This is engineered and designed with excellence.
- Easy to put on and very easy to adjust.
Thule Passage Trunk (910XT) Mount Carrier
- This bike carrier held up through DC traffic, a torrential downpour in the Pennsylvania mountains, extremely high winds in Wyoming, and sharp curves along the Oregon trail.
- Our bikes are quite heavy as they were not built to be light and we have loaded them up with racks, baskets, carrying boxes and decorations. The carrier handled the job very well.
- It held my Electra cruiser (with a step-through frame) with no nonsense or extra fiddling. Even the bike store guy was impressed.
- The quality of this rack is outstanding. Why would someone put on a cheap rack with expensive bikes on it?
- The trunk mount was easy to install and is well built. We took our bikes to a local CT bike trail to test it out. We had no problem for the short trip (5 miles).

What customers say about "Features"
Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack
- Folds up nicely for storage on a garage shelf.
- The anti-sway rung is a very nice touch.
- Plenty of extra strap.
- It holds the bikes really well with minimum movement of the bikes in transit, and relatively easy to install.
- No scratches or marks, the rubber feet work well.
Thule Passage Trunk (910XT) Mount Carrier
- This carrier is very easy to install and has not damaged my car so far in any way. It takes me 5 minutes to install the bike carrier.
- Being able to fold down the supporting tubes when no bikes are mounted is a huge bonus compared to other products.
- The carrier was very good to my vehicle, no marks or damage and though I did remove the bikes to open the hatch, I did not have to remove the carrier.
- With this trunk mount I will be able to load up my kayak on the roof, put the bike on the back, attach my trailer to the hitch, and have a wonderful time camping with all my toys.
- The bike locks into place and has an anti sway bar. Bikes can sway a little bit but are pretty much stable.
