Easy to install, high quality and works as expected. If I take care of it, I think it will out last my last Rocky Mounts rack (15 years) which still works. Just wanted something where the front wheel stays on. Great products that last.
I have had these for years now... in humid Georgia USA... mounted to the OEM crossbars of a 2014 Subaru Outback.
I just did a once over maintenance on them and was surprised by the limited amount of wear... including nearly no discoloration of the plastic.
Back to smooth-as-butter operation after lubricating everything with chain wax.
Only loose bolts were the four mounting the tray halves so, I used orange Permatex on those.
I add stainless lock washers under the arm's bolts to make that tension what is right for me.
Finally, I use sections of road tire on the wheel straps because I hear anyone's strap may mar a composite/carbon fiber rim over time.
Yes, I would be these again... and will look to RockMounts first for future needs.
I bought this for the top of my Subaru Impreza hatchback. It works fantastically. I have had it for three seasons now and have hauled my road bike, my mountain bike, and fat bikes beautifully. Does not shake or rattle at all. Works perfectly.
I’ve had dual Tomahawk’s on my vehicle(s) for FIVE years now. The same ones. I currently have them mounted on my MK7 GLI with OEM VW cross bars. Before that, these were on an Inno traditional square-bar rack on my Ford Fiesta and they lived on Thule bars on my van for a while. Point is, is that they fit any rack out there. These things are not super easy to take on and off, and they are heavy. So I tend to leave them on year-round. These things are amazing. I’ve had everything from Fat Bikes, 26er’s, my 29er, my 27.5 AND a 700c hybrid bike up there. It takes everything. I use these 1-3 times a week for 5 years straight. Still going strong. Just recently, I took them off, took them apart and greased everything and all of the hardware. 1 bolt snapped from rust, but that’s just my fault for leaving them on the car for years and not servicing them at all.
Now they are greased up and clean and ready for another 5 years on top of my car. Love em.
I decided I wanted to take our two fat tire bikes with us to Key West from Savannah - about 10 hours with stops mostly high speed freeway.
I wanted the option of being able to easily remove the racks after used but also securely lock my racks. I added a lock kit which has a single key for all 4 locks.
It was easy to load up out 2 bikes and keep all our vehicle space free for the rest of our gear. I was able to monitor the bikes through the sun roof and even though it was a breezy ride - 15-20 MPH winds, the bikes remained tight.
I don't like to haul gear on my car and this was an easy choice.
I will enjoy using these for years to come. Thank you.
Love, love, love this bike rack! I have it on top of a Subaru STI and It holds up extremely well, even during quick accelerations. I’ve had it for six months now and have had no issues, rack has stayed on my car throughout the winter with no rust. I do occasionally spray the moving parts with wd40 to keep them working smooth. Planning on buying a second one soon!
Don’t waste your money on the super expensive name brand racks, the TomaHawk is perfect for City living, because the mounts lock (sold separately) to your roof racks. In the City people will steal anything, so having the ability to easily remove tire straps and end caps is a nice plus. The installation Was quick and simple!
I love my Rockymounts Tomahawks for the ease. I put two of them on my Subaru Impreza. It is so nice to not have to take off the front wheel of my bikes. The rack is quiet and fairly easy to assemble. This was my first time working with Rock Mounts and I was very impressed by their quick and reliable customer service.
This rack holds my 20" bikes with 2.4 tires as well as my hardtail 26" with 2.1 tires. I have aero crossbars on a Subaru Forester.
I own 2 Tomahawk racks for my car and was so impressed I purchased a monorail hitch mount for my wife’s truck. Excellent products!!
I had fork mounts for the bed of my pickup for road bikes and love them. With mountain bikes I didn't want to deal with taking off the tire (because of disc brakes and muddiness) so I picked up some Tomahawks. Awesome racks that hold everything securely. Gets use for my light skinny tired road bike and my heavy steel mtb with 2.75s. Happy with the racks and super secure even while driving down forest roads in a not so smooth riding truck.
I ordered two tomahawks, but as these were out of stock rocky mounts upgraded with brass knuckles. We have been very pleased with them and they work just as we hoped, attached to the existing factory roof rack on our 2010 toyota sienna.
Just put one of these on my Mini Cooper and it is easy to use. The assembly took a few minutes, plus about five minutes to put on the car. My new bike has a thru axle and it was hard to take off the front wheel and get all the brakes aligned again, this lets me keep the wheel on. My only complaint would be the locks. I wish they had included them. The one that locks the rack to the car is secure, the one that locks the bike on is not that great, so i use my regular bike cable. I still worry about my bike even with a cable, we have a lot of bike thefts in Boston.
