BackStage

I have a sprinter with boxes on back of van. This rack worked great with a 18" extension. Bikes swing out and clear boxes nicely. Most importantly is the rack is rock solid in the hitch. There is no rocking like my old Thule. I added a set of Brake/ signal lights and pluded into the trailer plug. Added safety and makes it Legal.

Just got this recently and took it from Tx to Utah and back. We camped out mostly in backwoods and drove through a lot of dirt roads that were bumpy and some a bit rough. The rack didn't come loose at all the bike stayed in place and didn't shift. The swing away feature is perfect for our sprinter van, too so we can access the back doors without having to remove the bike or rack. This rack is solid and a great one! (We used the hitch extender because my ebike handlebars are just a tad too wide and it didn't affect the performance one bit.)

the Backstage was relatively easy to install and use however the so called anti bouncing claim is a bit overstated. bolts are all tight and it still bounces

Really happy with the BackStage rack. I was able to assemble it step by step with help from a video on the site and the instructions included. A great value with all the options to make accessing the back of vehicle easier. Super solid, well made and easy to load bikes onto. Great product that I look forward to using for years to come.

Love it have two of them !! Just another Jersey guy with a great idea !!!!

After happily using the BrassKnuckles on top, when it was time to add a hitch rack, it was a no-brainer to choose the BackStage for its innovative and clever built-in swing-out design and the solid build that RockyMounts is known for. When compared to other "rack plus a separate swing-out unit" setups of other brands', the BackStage built-in swing-out design is absolutely brilliant because it's the most compact when stowed up (least bulk/distance from bumper), lighter & less expensive as a whole system. The swing-out works beautifully, and the entire assembly is super beefy in the usual RockyMounts way. All the knobs/switches are cleverly designed for ease of use and security. Assembly/installation was very easy/intuitive out of the box. One nitpick wishlist... Maybe this is because I'm used to using BrassKnuckles, but I think it'd've been even better if the hook-and-trigger unit had a built-in lock (especially when quickly transporting just 1 bike and don't feel like dealing with the included cable lock). If such becomes available as an extra BackStage part for purchase in the future, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Online ordering was simple (w/ a specified lock#), and processing/shipping (free) was super-fast. To top off the great products, the customer-support folks at RockyMounts are absolutely above-and-beyond helpful. Another customer-for-life here once again - thanks, guys!

I recently found myself in need of a bike rack that would allow me full access to my car, and my search led me to Rockymounts. I decided to give it a shot, and I am beyond thrilled with my decision! The shipment arrived incredibly fast, and the bike rack is worth every penny. The assembly process was a breeze, with clear instructions and minimal tools required - just a Philips screwdriver. At one point, I thought I might have encountered an issue with some missing screws, but the Rockymounts team was quick to respond to my message and ensured that my weekend plans weren't jeopardized. After following their guidance, I ended up with a flawlessly assembled bike rack. The quality and durability of this bike rack are outstanding, and I have no doubt that it will last for many years to come. Not only does the Rockymounts bike rack meet all of my expectations, but their exceptional customer service has also left a lasting impression. I wholeheartedly recommend Rockymounts to anyone in search of a reliable, high-quality bike rack.

I'm a real customer and I can tell you this is one of the best product I ever head. There are not many swing away bike racks are on the market and I did my research before buying this and I never regret it. I had it for about 3 years now. No issues so far. I drive a truck and I wanted something that can be installed non stop so I can throw on my bike go for a ride any time. But I have to be able to access the bed for loading / unloading that the swing are allows me to do so. It is a well constructed, easy to use, but definitely adds a little weight to a small car. I definitely recommend this product!

This rack is amazing. We use it to carry 2 e-bikes on a Sprinter 2500 camper van. It allows total access to the back of the van. The swing-away mechanism is smooth and easy to use and the anti-wobble technology holds the rack really securely. The bikes are solidly secured by the tires and there is no contact with the frame. I also love the integrated hitch pin lock and cable lock for the bikes. On a recent trip we were rear-ended in a traffic jam and this rack took the brunt of the force of the collision. Though it bent, it absorbed the impact and protected our van from any damage. Despite the damage to the rack, it was still able to carry our bikes another 1000 miles home. We are so grateful for this rack and replaced it immediately.
