Amazon.com Product Description
Form and function collide with the Saris Bones three-bike trunk mount rack. Conceived by famed designer Fabio Pedrini, the Bones is more than just another rear-mounted rack. Rather, the gallery-worthy rack is a testament to style, design, convenience, and durability, with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from Bicycling Magazine. An efficient bike rack needs to be more than just a way to transport your bike from point A to point B. It needs to be easy to use, easy to install, and easy on two of your most prized possessions: your bike and your vehicle. Fortunately, the Bones meets the above conditions with room to spare, with ratchet straps that keep your bikes secured to the rack arms, exclusive anti-sways, and articulated rubber feet to protect the finish on your vehicle. As a result, nothing will get damaged in transport, including your nerves. In addition, the Bones is a breeze to install, with vinyl-coated hooks that strap securely to the car with spring buckles. And the arched design fits practically any vehicle, from sedans to minivans, and even most cars with spoilers. 
The Bones 3-bike rack fits on almost any vehicle. | Constructed from heavy-duty, 100-percent recyclable plastic, the Bones rack is the strongest and most environmentally friendly rack on the market. The injection-molded arms and legs will never rust, and are capable of supporting up to three bikes with ease. Plus, the arms separate the bikes on different levels to ensure that they won't rub or touch during transport. And because it's a trunk-mounted rack, your bikes are always accessible and easy to put in place. No overhead lifting, twisting, balancing, or hefting required, letting you save your energy for the actual ride. All Saris bike racks carry a lifetime warranty. Note: The pink and purple cause-conscious racks let you support more than your bike, as $5 from the sale of each rack goes toward either breast cancer research (pink) or research into the cures for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma (purple).

 Car's racks July 27, 2010

It is not good to bmx bikes, it is very unconfortable to use with them.
 Great product July 27, 2010

Great product. Some bike frames can be a bit of a challenge with any bike rack but a little creativity never hurts.
 Not for an Outback Wagon July 21, 2010
Richard Wyckoff (Woodstock, MD United States)
I've seen this on trunklids, with bikes or without: appears sturdy and appropriate. Fine.
As for use at the back of a wagon, specifically an Outback, it simply doesn't fit. The side straps don't grab at a good angle because of the interior plastic connected to the hatch. The top straps can't get an easy grab on the metal (even with recommended $20 extra) without bending and threatening to break the back-up light assembly which are positioned above the rear glass.
If you have an Outback, go for a roof rack solution, or spend the $ on a trailer hitch, I suppose.
Awesome, Stable, and Well-made Rack for the Honda Element May 29, 2010

I bought this after a cheap rack dented the back clamshell door of my Honda Element due to too much bike movement and loosening tie downs. I borrowed a friend's 3 bike Saris to check the fit on the E and for my racing mountain bikes and loved it. It's easy to assemble and the tie downs crank down tight on the E without any scuffs or damage. I had 3 bikes loaded on it and there was very little movement, even when going 75mph for 400 miles each way. Rack accommodates a range of bikes (some easier than others); I loaded 2 dual suspension bikes and a big beach cruiser with a little bit of engineering. Construction is great, materials are quality. Well worth the investment. This rack should last forever.
