LONG FOR THE RIDE

Just as no garage is complete without a bicycle, at Saris, we believe no car is complete without a bike rack. Since setting off on this journey nearly 30 years ago, Saris racks have freed millions of bike-lovers to explore new territory and terrain, take part in group rides, bike pool to races, and commute to and from work.  And we continue to do so in style. As the all-time

1 best-selling bike rack, Saris Bones® continues to set the standard for

excellence in design. Today all Saris bicycle racks are intuitive to load and secure and guaranteed for life.  Built by cyclists for cyclists in Madison, Wisconsin,  we strive to create the world’s best bike racks. Because cycling is what we live for.

If your vehicle is not listed or you have any questions, please call our customer service at 800-783-7257 or visit www.saris.com.

• Read and follow instructions carefully. Save owner’s manual for future reference or parts information. Ensure that any other users of the bicycle carrier are familiar with their content.

• Drive slowly over speed bumps, 5 to 10 mph max speed.

• It’s the end-users responsibility to ensure that the use of this product meets all local and state laws.

• When cleaning vehicles and racks, use only water-soluble cleaners. Do not take the rack through a car wash.

Driving techniques should be altered to allow for these changes, reduce speed, especially on bends and allow for longer braking distances.

• The vehicle should be in good condition in the area in which the hitch is located.
