Monorail 2-Bike Platform

This is an incredible bike rack, very solid, very sturdy, easy to use get the bike on there in a jiffy. We are casual cyclists and so we do not leave in on the back of the car exposed to the elements 24/7. It’s easy to just add it to the hitch when needed. The bikes re very stable and secure on the rack.

UPDATE: over the 2025 Thanksgiving holiday, I hauled two bikes on this rack over 400 miles. It was absolutely rock solid.. The bad first: I paid $499 for this and now it's $60 less just 10 days later. I know that's a temporary price reduction, but it is annoying that it dropped so much. The good: Even at $499 for the 2" version, it was a good deal when compared to the usual suspects from Kuat, Thule and Yakima. It was easy to assemble and I simply went to YouTube and watched a video. It is very sturdy and when the pin is properly tightened, it does not move. We don't ride mountain bikes anymore, but I'm sure this rack can take some rough terrain. We easily carried our two hybrid bikes that weigh 28lbs each. The blue handle for lowering/raising and tilting works very well. The arms for securing the front tires work very well. Just make sure you really press down on them to get a secure fit. I'm going to use a strap through each wheel for extra security. I recommend keeping a ratchet and 19mm socket or a 19mm ratcheting combo wrench in your vehicle just to make sure the hitch pin is tight and you'll need it to remove the rack. Mine is mounted to a 2" receiver on a 2023 Acura MDX and it is super easy to load/unload and with the loaded rack tilted, the tailgate clears easily.

I previously had a Yakima Doubledown 4 rack, but had to replace it when I bought a RadRover fat tire ebike. I did a lot of research and the Rocky Mounts Monorail seemed like the best choice, especially since it would handle my bike (60 lbs, 4 in wide tires) with no need to purchase extra parts. Add to that the great price and I couldn't pass it up. The rack took me about 20 minutes to assemble, and mounts very securely to my hitch. No wobble or rattling, which is more than I could say for my Yakima rack. My bike fits very solidly in the rack and it takes less than a minute to secure. My only concern is the two locks. There is one for the hitch pin and one used to secure the bike cable. They do not look solid at all, I bet I could knock them off with a hammer. Other than that, this is a great rack and I'm very happy with it.

Solid bike rack. Love the ability to fold it in the upright position while not in use. It holds both bikes in a very stable and locked down position while traveling.

Have had this for 2 years now and use it a lot . Easy to put together out of the box. Steady and sturdy on the vehicle. Used it to transport bikes on a 800 mile trip and then many times around town. Worth the money and love the performance.

Generally great. There is room for improvement on the way the endcaps are secured on the end of the arms over the front wheels. The nuts did not thread easily, and were not held securely in place while attempting to affix the bolts. I had to remove the endcaps several times to replace the nuts when knocked out (even when I oriented the arm so gravity would gently keep the nuts in place), and ended up scratching the paint where I had to use a screwdriver to pry one off (too tight to remove with just my hands). Haven’t used it yet, but the structure seems solid!

This is a very good and easy to use bike rack. Assembly was simple but two people make it easier. Some people said the rack rattled in their hitch but that is impossible. You thread the hitch pin (provided with the product) and tighten with a wrench. No way it rattles. Very easy to raise and lower. I use it on the back of my pickup and I can lower the tailgate if I need to. Your bike is very secure when it’s on the rack. I have no fear with your baby when it’s in the rack.

This platform bike rack is sturdy, solid and secure. It comes with all the parts and tools, except a screw driver, that you need to assemble it. The clear directions make assembly a snap. Screwing the bolts into the nylon lock-nuts takes some effort but once it's tight it's secure. I can lift my bike easily on the rack which is only about a foot off the ground. The front wheel slides right into the boot and the sturdy lock-bar holds the front wheel in place. The back wheel is locked in by an easy to use adjustable strap. My road test with two bikes mounted proved how sturdy and secure this rack is. The bikes didn't sway, jiggle or bounce regardless of road construction in some places. All in all, I highly recommend this Rocky Mounts Monorail system.

Easy to use, holds bikes very securely without much wobble. Well made and very sturdy.
