The ultimate combination hitch bike rack and storage bike stand for home, garage, apartment or office, the 813 Saris T-Bones hitch bike rack is made of ultra-lightweight materials that maintain premium strength, reliability and safety for years and years of use. The Saris T-Bones weighs just 10 lbs (yep you read that correctly) so it's a cinch for anyone to install the bike rack to any 1.25" or 2" receiver hitch, as well as removing and carrying the Saris T-Bones inside and mounting to the included T-Stand storage base for a handy bike storage rack. Also includes a very cool storage, travel bag for conveniently strapping the bike rack to your shoulders and carrying to and from your destination. Saris T-Bones storage-backpack also includes pockets for other gear such as helmets, bike shoes etc. Saris 813 T-Bones is a 3 bike carrier (Saris 812 T-Bones 2 bike hitch rack version also available).
Compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, no additional adapters needed. Qwik Dock Lever makes rack installation simple and tool-free. Full system security included, using the same key the bicycles lock to rack and the Saris T-Bones itself locks to the hitch. Anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps make it easy to load any shape, style or size of bicycle and ensures there is no bike-sway or contact with the back of the vehicle. Bike arms easily fold down when not in use for a clean look and compact for pulling into garages and parking spaces. There is no other hitch rack system like the Saris T-Bones. It works hard for you all-day everyday, both as a hitch bike rack and a stylish and beautiful looking bike storage rack.

A Simply Amazing Bike Rack, Period
this Saris T-Bones review by M. Carter
This hitch rack is in a class by itself. I really think all the other bike rack companies will be scrambling to play catch up with it. All the other options seem like dinosaurs compared to the T Bones. Nothing comes close in terms of weight. The Quad Fit hitch is a feature I couldn't find on any other model either. I use the extended setting so the rack extends beyond my rear mounted spare tire on my Honda CR-V. I also love how I have the choice to insert the carrier into either a 2 inch or 1.25 inch receiver hitch, which allows me to use it on other friends' cars. I really like the bike storage rack feature though. Such a cool innovation. I live in a condo with not much room so the bike stand is perfect. Friends are always commenting on how good looking the bike stand is, and then when I show them how it doubles as an actual hitch bike rack they are blown away!
TOTAL HASSLE
this Saris T-Bones review by Christin
vehicle year/make/model: 2009 Toyota Prius
item(s) transported: bikes
OK... I haven't seen any reviews for this rack anywhere, so I thought I would write one and spare you all the hassle of owning it... Let me start off by saying that this is a really cool design, and it would def be a nice rack IF it worked as shown in the videos, BUT it doesn't!! Every time the temp would get above the 80s my rack would NOT "slide" on and off the base. In fact, it was very hard to get on and off... and was often stuck for an extended period of time and I could not get into my trunk! Talk about a PAIN!! I actually had ORS send out a new plastic receiver part thinking mine was defective... It worked fine for about a week UNTIL the temp went up again. I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing the plastic expands in the heat?!?!? If you buy this rack and you live anywhere that experiences a hot and humid summer season be prepared to 'fight' with it to get it on and off. I'm talking full body weight leaning on it practically jumping up and down to get it on (10-15 mins)... and then not even being able to get it off. IT'S MORE OF A WORKOUT THAN RIDING THE BIKE! I hope Saris fixes this problem soon!

Justin K. asks - I have a car with a recessed hitch. Can I still use the T Bone on this configuration?
ORS Racks Direct Crew answers - Yeah this rack is actually perfect for recessed hitches and cars with rear mounted spare tires because the T Bones includes a very innovative component called the Quad Fit Hitch Connector. Allows you to flip the hitch connector to either extended mode or compact mode. Basically, if you have a recessed hitch that is hidden under the car or have a spare tire on the back you will want to flip the hitch connector to extended mode so you have plenty of clearance from the back of the vehicle or spare tire. If no issues then just use compact setting so the rack doesn't stick way out beyond the bumper. Also you can pop on the included adapter onto the end of the hitch connector to fit any 2" hitch, or leave it off for use on any 1.25" receiver hitch. Hence the Quad Fit Hitch name (both 1.25" and 2" receiver hitch options and extended or compact mode).
LORAX asks - I have a 2011 Prius hatch back. Can the hatch-back be opened when the 823 T-Bone is loaded with the bikes? Will using the hitch connector in extended mode allow the hatch to be opened when loaded with bikes?
ORS Crew answers - Yes, when using the included hitch adapter in mode, the 2011 Honda Prius rear hatch door can open fully even with all the bikes loaded on the carrier.
