    The brassknuckles is constructed well, is quick to install and loads/unloads easily. I am completely happy with my purchase.

    BrassKnuckles!’

    This product is so easy and convenient to load a bike on that I recently bought a second. The process could not have been easier to buy another. The crew at RockyMounts recognized that I already have one that I bought years ago and set up the new bike rack perfectly so that I can install on the other side of my car! Nice attention to detail! The product is awesome, the company is awesome… enjoy the ride!

    Excellent

    Posted by Chris on Jun 30th 2023

    I bought 4 of these to mount on my pickup truck's Access Adarac. These have worked great for any size bike I've put up there. My youngest's 20" wheeled mountain bike, my full sus, and with couple fattie kits, some well-fed bikes all fit great. The entire system seems very durable and should last many years. 100% recommend them.

    ALMOST perfect

    Posted by Alyssa on Aug 23rd 2020

    I love this rack! I like it more than hitch racks, because it is essentially a tray rack but just moved to the roof. My ONLY qualm is that the articulating arm that ratchets down on the front tire is very stiff. It sucks when I'm on my step ladder, holding the bike up with one hand, my other arm outstretched trying to lift the articulating arm which is very stiff and I have no leverage, nearly giving myself a hernia. I'm hoping that as I use it more it will become less stiff, and I'm hoping some WD-40 will help, but holy hell does it really need to be that stiff? I know that it is not just a random defect because I bought two and they both have stiff articulating arms. If I could, I would give this rack 4.5 stars due to the user-friendliness, but if you are good at lifting heavy things with your arm outstretched then it's not a big deal. With all that said, if you're considering buying this rack, then totally do it. It is truly a great investment.

    Great product design/quality, and great customer-support team!

    BrassKnuckles rack is rock-solid! The tried-and-true load arm design is super secure and confidence-aspiring through rough roads (no rattling/creaking, no wiggle/play), along with an equally solid tray (not flexy/flimsy). The mounting straps easily/securely anchor the head/base unit onto my round crossbar perfectly. I used to always look up thru sunroof worryingly with my previous big-brand 'roll-it-forward' loading rack on bumpy roads, but not any more with BrassKnuckles rack! Loading/unloading can't be easier, and it's completely flat when not in use - love it! Assembly/installation was very quick/easy out of box. Online ordering was simple, and processing/shipping was super-fast. To top off the great products, the customer-support folks at RockyMounts are absolutely above-and-beyond helpful/supportive (top notch across any industries). Another customer-for-life here - thanks, guys!
