    A great value

    Posted by Velonut on Sep 5th 2018

    After nearly seven years using an inexpensive hitch rack it was time for a better model. After much research I decided on this monorail hitch rack. I've used it twice now and it is a very sturdy, effective, well designed rack at a fraction of the price of the well known brands. An included lock is an option for other racks but not this one. Highly recommend.

    Excellent rack! Very pleased.

    Posted by Matthew S on Aug 26th 2018

    I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on the Monorail. Thule, Yakima, Kuat, Rhino rack etc. all want $500+ for racks that appear to be of worse design and use cheaper materials. The Monorail securely holds both of my 27.5” mountain bikes with 2.65” wide tires. I have no doubt it will hold other wheel sizes and narrower or wider tires sizes too. There is no rubbing between bikes or the mounts. It’s quiet and there is no excessive play in the hitch. Oh and a 25% military discount. Wow! I am a very happy customer. Rocky Mounts seems to go above and beyond in everything they do.

    BEST HITCH RACK EVER!

    Posted by Jakub S. on Aug 15th 2018

    It’s review after more than 10 thousand miles. It came with one wheel tray broken but it wasn’t problem for customer service and in a week we received the new one. These guys taking their business seriously and it was pleasure to communicate with them. We traveled with this rack from CO to FL and back and to CA and back plus everyday in CO. Had been on rough dirty roads with a lot of dust etc. And never had a single issue. It’s stable and easy to operate. We even traveled with loaded rack in half way down position (forgot to lift it back) without damaging the kickbike scooters or rack. I highly recommend this company and this product! RockyMounts you’re the best!

    Monorail is dialed

    Posted by Sasquatch_mtb on Jul 9th 2018

    I have done tons of research and the monorail 2 is what I ended up with. Very strong rack and very well built! Easy to assemble and includes tools and hardware. All my friends with Kuat racks are jealous! Best bang for buck bike rack money can buy guaranteed! Keep it up Rockymounts!

    This has been perfectly designed bike rack for my small honda civic. And it looks good folded up on the car I leave it on the car year round.

    Top notch piece of gear

    Posted by Mike D. on Jun 2nd 2018

    Just what I've been looking for and I like the option of using as a single or double rack. Bikes fit well and solid for travel. Easy on easy off. The price was reasonable and I appreciate the military service discount. Great product and a U.S. company.

    Best hitch rack I've owned!

    Posted by Benny on May 15th 2018

    Have owned the Thule T2 and glad I made the switch to the MonoRail hitch rack. Super easy to install, and it's been rock solid since day one. Recently road tripped with two bikes on it from Portland, OR to Santa Fe, NM and the rack was bomber...no swaying or bouncing, and no scratches on the bikes. Loading and unloading bikes was super easy, and the (essentially) one-handed folding and tipping made for convenient access to the back of our car. Would highly recommend.
