The RS stands for "Really Sturdy"

The Bones RS 3 is so easy to install and use. It is so stable and made well that I don't worry as I am driving down the road. The fact that the rack locks on the car allows me to concentrate on my race and it gives me the peace of mind that I will have a way to transport my bike home after the race. Great rack!!!

Trunk Racks are now Cool

The Saris Bones RS trunk rack that I bought for my 2007 Toyota Avalon is the greatest. I’ve heard people say that trunk racks aren’t cool, but I’m here to say that this one is very, very cool, and it works great. I’ll agree that certain trunk racks are a bit clunky looking, but this one is tight, and extremely well designed, and if your thinking of getting a trunk rack, you gotta check this one out. There are no loose hanging straps to worry about, and the adjustability of the support arms ensures that your bikes will look good as they hang on the rack, unlike other racks I’ve seen, where the support arms are pointing to the sky, and the bikes all lean together . Yes, the rack is a bit pricier than other trunk racks out there, but when you consider that you can carry three bikes, load them all and take them off super easily, and take the rack on and off in seconds, the $245 pricetag seems like a bargain, especially when compared with a roof system and three bike carriers, which can run well over $500.

I Highly Recommend Saris Bones RS 3

I wanted a better trunk rack, so I took the plunge and ordered the Saris Bones RS. After using it now for the past three months, I can say that it was worth the price. It is very solid and when mounted it feels and looks as though it is an extension of the car. It is very well made and easy to adjust and put on/take off. I especially love how it locks to the car, so you don't have to worry about it getting stolen. Hands down, this is the best trunk rack I’ve ever seen and I highly recommend it.

Impressed with Bones RS

I am most impressed by the Saris Bones RS trunk rack. It only uses 2 straps so it's very quick and easy to install. It locks to the car so I never have to take it off. And I can open the rear hatch no problem even with the bike rack still on. I didn't originally think a car trunk rack could be used all the time, that's why I also installed a bike roof rack setup. But now I think the roof rack was overkill and I may unload that and just go with the Bones RS all the time for carrying my bikes.
