Rotating Arms with Ratcheting Hooks

RockyMounts 10003 MonoRail 2 Bike Ratcheting Arms

The MonoRail has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel - not the frame. It's perfect for carrying carbon bikes or bikes with a custom paint job. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook.


Pivoting Rear Wheel Cradles with Ratcheting Wheel Straps

RockyMounts MonoRail 3 Bike Rack Wheel Straps

The rear wheel cradles accommodate a wide variety of bike wheelbases. They pivot front to back, adjusting automatically to each bike's wheelbase - no need for sliding and tightening. Secure the wheels in place with the built-in ratcheting strap. The straps also include extenders for use with fat bikes.


Adjustable Bike Trays


RockyMounts MonoRail Adjustable Bike Trays

The front and back trays adjust 3" side-to-side to ensure you have enough space when loading your bikes. Just remove the bolts where the tray attaches to the bottom of the rack, slide the trays left or right to achieve the desired spacing, and then reinstall the bolts. This will prevent your bikes' handlebars from becoming tangled, and it eliminates bike-to-bike contact.


Front-Mounted Release Lever for Easy Tilting

RockyMounts 10003 MonoRail 2 Bike Rack Tilted

The rack tilts down - with or without bikes loaded - so you can access your vehicle's rear cargo area. Because the tilt-release lever is located at the front of the rack, you don't have to worry about crawling through bikes or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to pull it. When you raise the rack back up, you'll hear a click to indicate it's secure.


RockyMounts 10003 MonoRail 2 Bike Rack Folded

When the rack is unloaded you can pull the lever to fold it up for storage. This means you don't have to remove it to park in small lots at the trail head or in cramped parking garages.

Easy Installation

RockyMounts MonoRail Hitch Mount Bike Rack

It installs with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your 1-1/4" hitch receiver, insert the threaded hitch pin, and tighten it down with the included tool. This will reduce noise and movement while the rack is installed.


Complete Security

RockyMount MonoRail Built-In Cable Lock

Included locks secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. The integrated cable lock threads around your bikes' frames and inserts into the lock that slides along the cable.


RockyMounts MonoRail Hitch Lock

The hitch lock simply snaps onto the hitch pin and locks in place. The cable and hitch lock are keyed alike, so you'll only need 1 key for both locks.

See what our Experts say about this RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks

  • Platform Bike Rack for 2 Bikes and a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    For your needs the Saris Freedom # SA4412B is going to be the best option. I think you will really like this rack. First, it is very light weight at just 22-1/2 pounds. That makes it easy to install/remove from the trailer hitch. It can fit 1-1/4 inch (Class II) and 2 inch trailer hitches. It can be locked but you would need to add locking hitch pin # SA3022, sold separately. You will not need an adapter bar for the woman's bike frame. It measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch...

  • Is RockyMounts MonoRail Compatible with E-Bike That Has Fenders
    We do have bike racks for your application but since the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10003 secures bikes by the wheel the ratcheting arm need to rest right where front fender is located. Instead you need to use a bike rack that secures the bike by the frame. We have 2 different styles in the same price-range as the MonoRail with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR and the Saris Freedom # SA4412B-R. The Sport Rider SE uses the same type of ratcheting arm as the...

  • What is Difference Between RockyMounts MonoRail and MonoRail Solo Bike Rack
    The big difference is that the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10007-05 that you referenced can be used as either a single or two bike rack whereas the RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack # RKY10003 does not have the ability to do this. It would always be a two bike rack.

  • Recommended Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid
    Hey David, so yeah we do have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36643 which will work with the Hybrid model. This is a class II hitch that has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, a 3,500 lb capacity, and is custom fit to your Camry so it should bolt right up. If you're looking for a bike rack recommendation, the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10003 is a great choice that will work great with the hitch mentioned. This bike rack has a 2 bike, 60 lb capacity, and will...

  • Will a 75 lb 2-Bike Carrier Work for a 50 lb E-Bike?
    There are several great options for bike racks to transport your e-bike, but the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 has a total weight capacity of 75 lbs. Although this appears to be enough to carry your 50 lb e-bike, bike racks are actually rated per bike, so the Thule amber can only support two bikes up to 37.5 lbs each. This is usually because that is the limit for the individual parts of the bike rack, such as the cradle, not the limit for the bike rack as a whole. To transport your...

  • RockyMount MonoRail 2 Platform Rack for 2009 Honda CR-V
    A hitch adapter like the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # HTAD allows you to use the 2" shank on the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 # RKY10004 on the 1-1/4" on your 2009 Honda CR-V, but using a hitch adapter of any type reduces the tongue weight on your hitch by 50%. You'll need to check your owner's manual to confirm but you likely have a Class I hitch with a 200-lb tongue weight, so using an adapter will only allow you to carry 100-lbs total safely on the hitch. Since the RockyMounts MonoRail...

  • Does RockyMounts MonoRail 2-Bike Rack Fit Class I Curt Hitch on 2008 VW Eos
    Thanks for the order of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11090, which is a fit for your 2008 Volkswagen Eos. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, and will work perfectly with the RockyMounts MonoRail 2-Bike Rack # RKY10003. The MonoRail is Class I compatible and has a 1-1/4 inch shank to fit right in your Curt hitch with no extra hardware needed. You've made a really smart choice to with the MonoRail because it is one of the best bike racks that will work with your hitch....

  • Comparing RockyMounts MonoRail to Yakima Fullback 2 for 2019 Acura RDX without Hitch
    You're correct that the Fullback 2 and MonoRail are both very highly recommended and are very high quality bike racks; I've recommended both of these to our neighbors depending on their particular vehicle and needs. With that said, the Yakima Fullback 2 # Y02633 and RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10003 are two different types of rack in that one is a trunk mounted rack and the other is a hitch mounted rack; they're not really comparable since a trunk mounted rack is typically only used when...

  • Comparing the Kuat Transfer 2 and RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Racks
    I am personally a big fan of the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR for a few reasons. The first being that the center portion is open so you can walk right up inside of the rack and place your bikes in the cradles whereas for the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10003 you will have to stop at some point and lift the bike up and over the center section. The other reason I prefer the Kuat Transfer 2 is because it just has a more aesthetically pleasing look...

  • Comparing Bumper Clearance of Kuat Transfer V2 and RockyMounts MonoRail
    The Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU74FR has a distance of 9 inches from the center of it's hitch pin to the nearest portion of the rack when folded up so as long as you have 9 inches or less from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the rear bumper you'd be set. The RockyMounts MonoRail part # RKY10003 has a distance of 5-3/4 inches for that measurement instead so it doesn't have quite as much clearance. The Transfer weighs 47 lbs but has more clearance whereas the MonoRail weighs...

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack For 2019 Mini Countryman To Carry 50 Lb Electric Bikes
    I definitely recommend a platform rack for electric bikes so you do not have to lift the heavy bikes as far to get them on the rack. For a platform rack, I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10003 which is designed to carry 2 heavy/electric bikes that can weigh up to 60 lbs each so it has more than enough capacity for your bikes. The platform is raised a few inches to help keep your bikes elevated from the ground since the hitch on the Mini Cooper sits pretty low....

  • Can I Carry Our Bikes on the RockyMounts Monorail # RKY10003 on the Front of My 2017 Ford F-150?
    In order to mount the RockyMounts MonoRail to the front of your 2017 Ford F-150, you will need a front hitch. Since we only carry 2-inch hitch receivers that will fit your vehicle, you will need the 2-inch version of RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10004 instead of the 1-1/4 inch version # RKY10003 in order for it to fit into the receiver. For a hitch that is compatible with the front of your 2017 Ford F-150, I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65067....

  • Recommended Wheel Mount Bike Rack With Locks for a 2014 Honda Accord
    I do have an option for you but there is not a 2" trailer hitch available for your 2014 Honda Accord so there is no way to use the Hollywood Racks TRS SE 2-Bike Platform Rack part # HR3500. Instead, I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10003 which has all of the features that you liked and needed in the above; 60 lb per bike weight capacity, 1-1/4" trailer hitch compatibility, folding for storage, wheel mount, black in color, and it comes with both bike and...

  • Will The RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack For 2 Bikes Fit My Hyundai Ioniq
    My pick would be the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # RKY10003. This rack can hold bikes up to 60lbs. The closest part of the rack when in the lowered position is 12", which is the greatest distance on your three options. This rack has an anti-rattle hitch bolt that eliminates movement between the hitch receiver and the Kuat Sherpa and the rack comes with a lock that secures the rack to the vehicle. You can lock your bikes to the rack with...

  • Differences Between RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Racks RKY10003 and RKY10007-05
    The big differences between the two versions of the RockyMounts Monorail bike racks you mentioned is that the part # RKY10003 only fits the 1-1/4 inch hitch size and can only be used as a 2 bike rack whereas the part # RKY10007-05 that you also mentioned fits 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch hitch sizes and can be split up to be a single bike rack as well as use as a bike rack for two bikes.

  • How To Convert 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver To 2" For A 2" Bike Rack
    You can either enter your new vehicle into our fit guide and find a 2" trailer hitch receiver, or you can add an adapter like Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. The only downside to using this adapter, which would give you a 2" opening, is that it reduces your hitch's overall capacity by 50% which is typically not going to leave enough capacity for your bike rack and bikes. That said, it may work fine as long as you don't exceed half of your trailer hitch receiver's...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack for E-Bike on 2015 Subaru Impreza Hatchback With Single Exhaust
    Your 2015 Subaru Impreza hatchback with a single exhaust does have a 2 inch hitch available, the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7211. This is a pricier option, so if you are looking for a budget-friendly rack and hitch combo, you will want to stick with the best 1-1/4 inch hitch, which for your Impreza is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT24959. This hitch has better ground and bumper clearances than the Curt Hitch # C11286 that also fits your '15 Impreza so you will...

  • 2-Bike Platform Rack for Heavy Bikes Compatible with Class I Hitch
    The Swagman Current 2 Bike Platform Rack part # S64678 is only compatible with class II and class III hitches so it most likely will not pin into a Class I hitch. For a similar rack that is compatible with a class I hitch, I recommend the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Rack # SA4025F because it shares many of the main features as the Current, so it tilts away for cargo access, folds for storage, and it also comes with a hitch and bike lock to protect your investments.

  • Will the Yakima FullBack 2 Work with a 63-Pound Electric Bike?
    I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 does not have enough weight capacity to fit your 63-pound bike. The per-bike weight capacity of the FullBack 2 is 35 pounds. With that amount of weight, the best route is a hitch-mounted bike rack. I recommend the RockyMounts Monorail - 2" # RKY10004 or the 1-1/4" version # RKY10003. The good thing about the MonoRail is that it secures your bike by the tires. This eliminates...

  • High Capacity Platform Bike Rack that Is Class I Hitch Compatible
    Class I hitches do typically have enough capacity for bike racks but a lot of bike rack manufacturers do try and be as cautious as possible with their higher capacity racks and they just exclude them. For a similar 2 bike rack that has a higher weight capacity and is Class I compatible we have the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which would work great. It comes with a ramp too to help with loading and unloading heavier bikes.

  • Could RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10003 Be Used at Rear of Motorhome
    Unlike some bike racks the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10003 that you referenced is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a motorhome so it would work great for you in that regard. This rack has 12 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest edge of the rack so it would have great clearance too but you'd have to compare that measurement to your spare to make sure it would fit past that. If the distance from your hitch's pin hole out to the furthest edge...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for E-Bike with Fat Tires
    Since you have bikes with fenders and plan to at some point carry an e-bike rack your best option would be to go with the Thule EasyFold XT E-Bike rack part # TH903202. This has the higher weight capacity you'd need for an e-bike and uses frame clamps instead of wheel clamps which allows it to work great with bikes that don't have a top frame tube as well as with fenders. This can fit up to 3 inch wide tires as well but if you have tires wider than that you'd need the strap kit # TH985101. This...

  • Dimension of RockyMounts MonoRail to See if it Would Clear Rear Bumper
    On the Rockymounts MonoRail part # RKY10003 it measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack which would be more than enough clearance to clear the rear bumper of your 2017 Ford Fusion.

  • Adapter Needed to Fit 1-1/4 RockyMounts MonoRail to a 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The adapter sleeve that I recommend using is the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This will reduce your 2" hitch receiver to a 1-1/4" receiver that your RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10003 can mount into. The adapter comes with a hitch pin and clip but I recommend also getting an anti-rattle locking hitch pin like part # 63232 to help reduce the play of your bike rack. I have attached some review videos for you to check out as well.
