I'm not familiar with these companies, but the reasoning why i suggest a 3 bike rack as opposed to a 2 bike rack is not only will it have longer arms, it'll also have the mounting points for the bikes farther from the car. Just use the two outtermost mounts to put the bike on and it shouldn't hit the car. As for the spoiler concern.. our spoilers are a bit on the high side to get a bike rack to clear it...

Will I called Saris again and they claim the Bones RS (the one that cost $240.00+) will fit, so I ordered that one. Hopefully it will work, if not it is going back, found them onsale at an online retailer for 219.00. So we will See........

Thanks for trying the Bones 3, good thing I didn't order that one, hopefully I will have better luck with the RS model. It is cool since it has a built in lock and ratcheting strap system. It definatly is a sweet rack, but really pricey, on sale for 219.00 is not to bad w/lifetime guarentee.

I sold the last one at the shop this morning so I could not test fit it to the RA sedan of one of my friends at the pizza restaurant around the corner...






Jose Manuel It wont fit the ralliart ! Remmember that we try it at your work and it didn't fit my car because it didn't clear the rear spoiler. Thats why I got the roof rack on your store!
