Note: May interfere with bikes with front fenders.
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.
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.
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 the fear of bike-to-bike contact.
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.
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.
It installs with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your 2" 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.
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.
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.
An optional 1-bike add-on (sold separately) allows you to convert the rack from a 2-bike carrier to a 3-bike carrier. This is great for occasions when an extra friend wants to tag along.

Everything seems good except price is high like every other rack, but paint seems soft. We'll see if it rusts.
A great product, but instructions need to be a little more specific on how to put it together.
Bike rack is well built and designed. Great for an e bike
Bike fits perfectly. There is no rattle or wobble while the bike is on the rack, improvement from the last track that I had.
Great platform rack. Very reasonably priced and compared to the competition I would say It is the best bang for you buck!
Very sturdy rack and a good value. Made of high quality steel and plastics.
I have only had this product for a few weeks, but have used it about 4 or 5 times. So far it has worked really well. It feels sturdy and the bikes are very easy to get on and off.
