Exactly What I Wanted
I bought these to carry our 2 HeyBike Race e-Bikes. We carry one bike on each carrier. You might ask why not use a hitch carrier to carry both? I have a 2021 Hyundai Sonata. My wife has a 2021 Kia K5. The cars will only take a class 1 hitch. By the time you put the 2 e-Bikes (56 lbs each without battery) and a carrier with enough guts to carry them in a class 1 hitch, you have most likely already met or exceeded the max tongue weight before you even drive an inch. Way too much weight to put on the roof. Most roof racks won't hold the weight of the bikes and carriers anyway. I read about people buying these to carry 1 bike, so I thought I would take the plunge. Saris said this would not work on my car. Ummm...it works like a champ on my car. It cinches down solid! I put y single 56 lb bike (70lb max for 2) on the back position of the rack, and strapped it down, including the anti-sway on the downtube. I drove around town...all over, actually. The bike did not move at all! No stress on the trunk or bumper. no bouncing. just a nice solid carry for my bike. Soooo much easier than dropping the back seats, taking off the front tire just so it will barely fit in the trunk? Those days are done. Seems well made. But I wouldn't leave it on my car for the sun to bake on that plastic and webbed strapping all year long. But it seems to be of good enough quality that if you don't abuse it, it should give you good like expectancy.

Works amazingly well!
I used this to take 3 bikes from Los Angeles to Yosemite, around 500 miles. The bike rack was easy to install. It effectively held 3 bikes. It did require 2 people to get the bikes loaded. 1 person could probably do it alone but it would require some wrestling. It did not rattle, flap, or squeak while driving at 65mph on the highway.Do not that if you have a beach cruiser or any bike which doesn't have a frame with a straight top tube you will need an adaptor to use this rack. I separately bought an adaptor for my cruiser and it worked with out further issue.

Poor Quality Control and Not Super Sturdy, but it's Versatile
NOTE: You will need bungee cords or straps (not included) to keep your bikes' front wheels from moving around.I bought this after I had to start borrowing a car that did not have a hitch. I wanted a bike rack that was more versatile than my hitch-mount bike rack -- something I could use on most cars. The Saris Bones EX fit the bill.I bought one of these and had to return it for another one due to Saris' poor quality control. A Committed To Quality card with a hand-initialed QC Check is included with each rack but the QC checks aren't being properly done. Even though they were brand new, the first one smelled like cigarette smoke and was really dirty. It was also missing one of the two strap management caps. The second one didn't have those problems but the ratchets were installed incorrectly so I had to redo them. The included instructions aren't very detailed so having the ratchets installed incorrectly added to the confusion of mounting this rack for the first time.The Saris rack is fairly sturdy but not as sturdy as my hitch-mount rack. But I guess that's to be expected of just about any trunk-mount rack. Still, I was disappointed to discover my bicycle, a Priority Continuum Onyx, didn't mount completely flush against the rack. The bicycle has a relatively standard frame but the seat tube has about an inch of space between it and where the hold down is attached to the rack. The hold down keeps it somewhat sturdy but there is that inch of space for movement. It seems like Saris could easily redesign the seat tube hold downs to better secure a wider range of bike frame geometries.The bike rack fit a 2018 Honda Fit well and it appears to be able to fit quite a wide variety of vehicle shapes.Overall, despite Saris' quality control problems and my bike not fitting snugly, I still recommend this bike rack due to its ability to fit a wide range of car shapes.

Need to Add Padding Between Bikes & Not for Full Suspension Bikes
This is a great rack and I’ve owned the 2 bike version in the past. It holds the bikes well, and the rack doesn’t wobble around too much as long as you tighten the hitch bolt all the way.Just be aware that if you want to get three full size adult bikes on here, the frames need to be spacious in the middle to fit over everything and onto the furthest back spot. Also you’ll need to put some sort of buffer between them so the bikes don’t scratch each other up. I use a pool noodle that I cut into segments and down one side so they fit around the frame/suspension forks. You could feasibly get a full sus bike on the last spot, but not the inner two.Also, mine came with a broken arm and they sent the replacement part with no fuss. Good company to work with.
