Big bikes need solid footing. The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo carries up to 2 bikes with a 60 lb per-bike capacity (40 lbs per-bike with the add-on), making it a strong match for e-bikes, carbon frames, and heavy builds. A steel and aluminum body with a durable black powder coat finish keeps the rig steady and corrosion resistant. Whether you’re hauling one or two rides, the front bike position can be removed when you only need space for one.
Your bike’s finish stays flawless thanks to ratcheting hooks that hold by the front wheel only—never the frame. Each arm pivots for easy loading, and large front-wheel cradles pair with pivoting rear cradles that automatically adjust to different wheelbases. Built-in ratcheting straps secure the rear wheels, with strap extenders included for fat tires up to 5.0" wide.
Grabbing your gear shouldn’t mean unloading bikes. With its front-mounted release lever, the MonoRail Solo tilts down with or without bikes loaded, giving you quick access to your cargo area. When the ride’s done, fold the rack up to save space—perfect for tight parking spots or garages. The lever is easy to reach, so there’s no crawling or stretching to make it move.
A smooth, stable ride starts at the hitch. The threaded anti-rattle hitch pin minimizes movement and noise, locking the rack tightly in place. The included adapter sleeve converts the shank between 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers, secured by a single screw for fast swaps. At just 38 lbs, it’s light enough to handle without a struggle.
Built-in keyed-alike locks secure both bikes and rack. The integrated cable lock loops through the bikes’ frames, while the locking hitch pin keeps the rack attached. One key works for both, making it simple and secure to step away knowing your setup is protected.

great! Cant believe how much easier it is to bike with this new carrier. I just pop my bike on and go! No straps or worries about if it is secure. Thanks.

One year later, still loving my Rocky Mounts bike rack. Easy to get on and off when the seasons change, easy to take my bike on and off, doesnt interfere with my tailgate at all. I get lots of questions about it!

After a year of constant use, its still good, but requires occasional lubrication. Also the extension for the second bike has trouble with bolts coming loose, and requires loctite every time its installed. Finally, the wobble with 2 bikes on the 1 14 reciever is enough to make you drive a bit more carefully. If you can fit it, get the 2. For a single bike use I think this is still best bang for buck.
Do you have a question about this Hitch Bike Rack?

You mentioned that you were disappointed with the weight capacity of the bike rack when using the second tray. I did recheck the capacity of the rack, and it is 60 pounds with one bike and the second tray allows an additional 40-pound bike to be carrier. We do offer bike racks that would give you more capacities such part # HLY84FR and part # HLY64FR that can carry 80 pounds per bike or part # BA22B which can carry 60 pounds per bike.
