Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Saris Bones Hitch Rack. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

Owners say assembling and installing the Bones Hitch Rack is easy, but it requires various wrench sizes to complete.
The rack is compatible with 1.25" and 2" hitch receivers.
The Bones can tilt when empty to allow access to the vehicle's rear.
The support arms collapse when not in use to reduce the rearward footprint.
Saris provides a limited lifetime warranty for the Bones Hitch Rack.
All versions of this rack are very light.

3 reasons not to buy

Owners report bike-to-bike contact in transit, resulting in scratches. One says bikes shift at elevated speeds, and another says contact is unavoidable due to bike proximity.
Two owners say the straps to secure bikes break after several uses.
An adapter is required for bikes without a top tube and some mountain bikes.

Bottom line

The Saris' Bones hanging hitch rack comes in two, three, and four-bike versions. A Bones trunk rack is also available. It carries bikes up to 35lb and fits 1.25" or 2" hitch receivers. It isn't off-road or RV-approved. No experts test it, but owners praise the easy assembly, tilt feature, and low weight. Unfortunately, bike-to-bike contact while driving can result in scratches. Bikes that lack a top tube and some mountain bikes require an adapter. Overall, the Saris Bones' low weight and affordability make it stand out, but the limited compatibility and possibility of damage to bikes reduce its appeal.

Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
