    Great product design/quality and great customer support!

    Posted by Hiroshi on Aug 15th 2020

    BrassKnuckles bike rack is solid! The tried-and-true load arm design is secure and confident-aspiring even through rough roads (no rattling/creaking/play), along with a tray that's also solid (not flexy/flimsy). Easy assembly/installation out of box. Great design & quality end-to-end. I no longer feel the need to look up thru my sunroof to check while on rough roads (which I often did with my previous roll-forward loading front-wheel grabbing bike rack that swayed a lot) - total confidence with BrassKnuckles. Online ordering was quick/easy, order processing & shipping was super fast. To top off the great products, the customer support folks at RockyMounts are above-and-beyond helpful/supportive - top notch across any industries. Another customer-for-life here - thanks, guys!

    Better than anything else!

    Posted by Randy McCleary on Mar 26th 2019

    I bought this rack to accommodate a new fat tire bike. I could not find a way to accommodate the bike on a roof without taking the very large skewer off and purchasing a very rare skewer mount. Rockymount's BrassKnuckles solves the job for the fat tire and is now my go-to rack position. It firmly locks the bike in quick and easily. Doesn't move about under wind loading even at +highway speeds+. It mounted cleanly to the roof bars of my aero rack but feel it would be just as home on an old round-bar rack system. Can't recommend it enough. -RJ

    Amazing Bike Rack!!!

    Posted by Jason J. on Mar 2nd 2019

    By far the best roof mount bike rack I have ever owned. There is nothing better than being able to leave both wheels on your bike on the roof of your vehicle and know it’s going to be 100% secure. I would highly recommend this rack system to anybody.

    Best roof mount trays out there. Super secure, stable and quick to load. Have used every brand these are the best.

    Works great with all my bikes

    Posted by Chris on Aug 12th 2018

    I have a fat bike, 27.5+, 29er, vintage 26”, and a skinny racing road bike. I have the fat adaptor cage and this works great with all of them. No more taking on/off wheels. Super quick to clip in once I’m at the trailhead. I had one minor issue with one of them (older version which they’ve changed) and they were super fast to fix it at no cost to me. Highly recommend.

    MUST BUY FOR ON TOP RACKS

    Posted by Joe M on Jul 2nd 2018

    Excellent product! Usto have fork mounted roof mounts and this is far superior. ease of use is incredible as well as stability. also yesterday on a hot day it was extremely easy to take off cover and tighten the straps, other mounts are typically way more difficult to adjust and mess with. a friend got two as well. great buy!

    WONT FIND A BETTER ROOF TOP RACK ON THE MARKET

    Posted by Ryan Walker on Jun 4th 2018

    I have had two of these racks on my my truck for years and have abused them! These things have a brilliant mounting mechanism that speeds install/uninstall, and work well in a multitude of rack/bike setups, yet they are BOMBPROOF! I've taken these racks down tons of washed out roads and off road trails with and without bikes on them and have never had a single problem.
