Fits nice to my convertible! Strong to hold 2 mtb!
Perfect choice for convertible cars, that can't have bike rack on the top. Didn't tried 3 fully mtbs, but strong enough to carry 2 of them. Relatively easy installation. Very high quality, lightweight. Minus 1 star for necessity to install and removal every time, and for straps, that can scratch your trunk on high speed (because of wind), and for price, too much for plastic rack. Overall very a good device!

Fitting to Fiat 500
I have had this bike carrier for 8 years. Used it on my mini. Now trying to fit to my fiat 500e. Are the feet on this carrier the same as the bones ex3? Just noticed in the pictures here they rest on the bumper. (Fiat 500e not big enough - the feet are not fully supported by the bumper). However in the Bones Ex3 they rest against the side of the car. Can I rest them against the side of the car with this model?

Improved Capabilities
I have owned a Saris 2-bone trunk mounted bike rack for a number of years. It has given me excellent service and I have always had confidence in the rack to travel where ever I wished to go for my next ride. Now that my two grandsons have expressed an interest in riding bikes with Grandpa, the 3-bone version became a necessity. I fine that I can carry their bikes easily with my road bike or my FX2 Hybrid. Further, this version seems to allow for easier stowage for those times I am not hauling a bike(s) along. This is an addition I wish I had made a couple of years ago. Very pleased with the results.

Too good to be true
The whole structure is great and I can see why this is so firm and stable, however, if only the arms can be maneuver with better ideas would be great. Maybe a quick release or something. Overall I'm happy as long as I can ferry my bikes and safely which is my main priority. Lastly, I think the price can be lowered slightly, I don't find the price justified to the product because of what I suggested with the arms. Implement with a quick-release would be great!

Nice rack but..
This rack is easy to use, fits my car and sort of fits multiple bikes. I've had the team for 5 years now and it's been very solid. With modern mt bikes being the size and geometry they are they take up a lot of space. That being said, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to fit the bikes on the three bike rack. On top of that, the grey "padding", out whatever it is, rubs off and gets all over my bike frame. While this doesn't damage the frame, as far as I can tell, it's ugly and kind of disconcerting that it's coming off at all and makes me wonder when it will start damaging the paint on my frame. I recently replace both the arms (within six months) and the grey stuff started rubbing off almost immediately. I've had to start wrapping some spare cloth around my frame to protect it.

SO easy to set up, lightweight and very durable
I have had experiences with two other leading brands of bike racks and now happy to have found Saris. This rack fits my Honda Fit superbly and set-up was lightning fast and intuitive to use. The rack is very lightweight and seems very durable. The bike fits very well.
