AfterParty Swing Away Hitch Rack

Access Without Compromise.

Easy Access. Rock-Solid Support.

BackStage

Open Sesame.

The heart of BackStage is its swing-away design. Our engineers worked through countless prototypes to get the balance right — smooth to operate, solid when locked, and dependable trip after trip.

When you arrive at the trailhead or stop for supplies, the rack swings clear of your vehicle so you can open the hatch without touching your bikes. Because access shouldn’t mean unloading.

Chaos Is Not A Transport Strategy.

RockyMounts racks are built by riders, so stability matters. Tray-based carrying keeps bikes upright, separated, and secure — the way they should travel. Each bike sits in its own space with minimal frame contact, preventing bike-on-bike chaos when the road turns rough. Whether you’re hauling trail bikes, gravel rigs, or a mix of both, the rack keeps everything exactly where it belongs.

Built For The Bikes We Actually Ride.

Modern bikes are heavier, longer, and built to ride harder. BackStage was designed with that reality in mind. With a 60 lb per-bike capacity, it’s ready for today’s trail bikes, enduro rigs, and plenty of e-bikes. Long trays support modern wheelbases, while the rack stays stable from highway miles to rough access roads. Because the ride shouldn’t start when you arrive — it should start when you leave home.

Made for Vans & SUVs

Ideal for vehicles where tailgate and rear-door access matters every day.

More Features

Stability

A rack should feel like part of your vehicle. RockyMounts systems use precision receiver engagement and anti-rattle technology to minimise movement at the hitch. Secure tyre-hold arms keep bikes firmly in place without frame contact, reducing sway and vibration.

The result is a quieter, smoother ride and confident transport — no wobble, no distractions, just locked-in stability.

Locked In

Security is built in. RockyMounts hitch systems feature integrated locking mechanisms that secure both the rack to the vehicle and the bikes to the rack. Tamper-resistant hardware and reinforced engagement points help deter theft while maintaining a tight, dependable hold. Whether parked at a trailhead or stopping mid-road trip, you can step away knowing your gear stays exactly where it should

Durability

Built for real use, not showroom display. RockyMounts hitch systems use high-strength steel construction and corrosion-resistant finishes to handle weather, road grit and long highway miles. Reinforced welds and heavy-duty hardware ensure consistent performance under load.

From daily drives to off-road weekends, every component is designed to last. This is equipment made to endure season after season.
