Hauling electric bikes or heavier builds is simple with the GuideRail’s solid platform design. It carries up to 3 bikes at 45 lbs each, or bump it to 60 lbs per bike when the front tray is removed. Dual load arms grab each wheel securely—no frame contact, no scratches—while tiered trays keep bikes separated and boost ground clearance when backing down steep driveways. Steel and aluminum construction with a black powder coat finish adds durability that stands up to road grime and weather.
Getting bikes on and off the rack doesn’t take muscle. Pivoting upright arms hold each bike by the wheels, quickly ratcheting into place for a tight, balanced fit. Grooved trays run the full length of the rack, letting you fine-tune positioning so handlebars and pedals stay clear. The trays fit tire widths up to 3" and wheel sizes from 20" to 29", making it a match for everything from road bikes to mountain e-bikes.
No need to unload to reach your tailgate or gear. The front-mounted hand lever tilts the rack down even when loaded, giving you easy cargo access. When it’s time to park or store the rack, fold it up flat against your vehicle. The lever’s front position means you can keep both hands on the rack for better control while lowering or raising it—simple and safe every time.
The GuideRail locks down your bikes and the rack itself. A nylon-covered 10 mm square-link chain secures your bikes to the rack, while a locking hitch pin keeps the rack in place. Both locks are keyed alike, so one key covers everything. The threaded hitch pin also cuts down on movement in the hitch, keeping the rack steady and quiet mile after mile.
Whether it’s just you and one riding partner or a full crew, the GuideRail adapts. Use all three trays for group rides or remove the front position when you’re carrying two heavier e-bikes. With support for bikes up to a 55" wheelbase, the rack fits a broad range of setups while keeping each bike stable and spaced just right.

A year later and no major issues. Im still very impressed by this rack. I did run into a bolt becoming bent not caused by any outside damage which I reached out to RockyMounts for. The biggest disappointment was their customer service. They not only were unhelpful but they accused me of damaging the rack. After providing two emails with photos proving there was no damage, they reluctantly decided to send me a replacement bolt from another rack. This is a proprietary bolt so not something I could source locally. Again, the product so far has been great, but their customer service is absolutely terrible. ETrailer on the other hand has gone above and beyond!

Still working great at 1 year. Bikes on the back for 3000 miles with no problem. I added a cargo rack to the back of one bikein my case it was wide enough for the AfterParty tire clamp to fit inside. PS: Replaced the overkill lock chain with a 4 ft long 5mm cablefits in the receiver perfectly.
