Saris

Hatch Hugger

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These made my Bones rack compatible with a hatch that normally wouldn’t take strap hooks. They’re quick to swap in, and the rack sits noticeably more solid once tensioned."

We rely on adaptable hardware when vehicle design introduces unusual mounting challenges, and the Hatch Huggers SL provide a technical answer for fitting Saris trunk racks to glass, plastic, or uniquely contoured hatch surfaces. Instead of relying on traditional metal hooks that struggle with modern hinge lines, these bumpers distribute load safely and establish a reliable tension point for the existing straps.

The system integrates seamlessly with Bones, Bones EX, and Guardian trunk racks by attaching through the same j-hook interface, requiring no modification to the rack arms or cradles. The dual-bumper design maintains secure strap alignment under load, ensuring consistent tension when carrying up to two bikes within the rack’s rated capacity.

For cyclists whose vehicles fall outside standard fit profiles, the Hatch Huggers SL offer a precise, low-impact compatibility upgrade that enhances rack hold, protects surfaces, and broadens the range of vehicles that can confidently transport bikes.
