Features to know about
Full Access Without Unloading: 180-Degree Swing-Away Design
The AfterParty makes reaching your gear easy even with bikes loaded. Its hinged arm swings a full 180 degrees from the hitch, locking in place so you can open rear doors or hatches without wrestling bikes out of the way. Closing it is just as simple—swing it back until the spring pin clicks, tighten the T-handle, and you’re ready to roll. For anyone tired of unloading bikes just to grab something from the back, this setup is a game changer.
Built for Heavy Rides: 60 lb Capacity Per Bike
Each tray supports up to 60 lbs, giving e-bikes and heavier builds solid footing. With room for 2 bikes and a 55" maximum wheelbase, it can handle everything from carbon frames to electric rides with confidence. The steel and aluminum body keeps flex to a minimum while a black powder coat finish resists corrosion for long-term use.
Secure and Scratch-Free: Wheel-Only Mounting System
The upright arms grab each bike by the wheels—no frame contact, no scuffs. Pre-marked bridges make it easy to line up for 20"–29" wheels, while grooved trays fit tire widths up to 3". Because the grooves run the full length of each tray, you can shift bikes side to side to keep handlebars clear and avoid contact between bikes.
Smooth Operation in Tight Spaces: Front Handle for Tilt and Fold
A front-mounted release lever lets you tilt or fold the rack without awkward reaching or juggling bike weight. The rack tilts down with both bikes loaded, perfect for quick access at trailheads or parking lots, and folds up compactly when you’re done riding. The 70-lb carrier weight keeps it stable yet manageable for one person to handle.
Locks Included for Peace of Mind: Bikes and Rack Stay Put
Security comes built in with the AfterParty. A threaded anti-rattle hitch pin keeps things tight and includes a lock that secures the rack itself. A 10 mm square-link chain, wrapped in nylon, threads through your bike frames and locks into a hidden core on the rack’s front. Both locks are keyed alike, so one key secures everything on the trip.

Well built, easy to use. Solid. Installation was simple. Assembly instructions could have a been a bit more concise or at least better diagrams. But that’s where YouTube saves the day. Tested the swing away with two enduro mountain bikes on a fair bit of grade (enough for my beer to fall over on the tailgate) and it performed well. Price is steep, but works for my F150 nicely.

I just went with this myself, and I think it's just about perfect for a Ford Transit. I will attach some photos, but what makes it such a nice fit is that the handlebars are far enough away to not hit the back, the swing arm is enough to open back doors (with one comment I will make later). Very quick and easy to secure bikes. Also, the only place it grabs your bikes is the tires, so no damage anywhere else. (This does mean that it will not work with many rear fenders. But it would work with the "mudflap" style of a mountain bike)
The swing away will allow both doors to open. However, if you still have bikes on the racks the door will not quite hit the detent that keeps the passenger side open. The handlebars will just barely interfere. In this can I either hold it open, or remove the bikes.
It also comes with an overkill lock that's very easy to use.
As you might guess, the rear parking sensors are not operative, so I do have to disable them every time I reverse. Heres a selection of photos I just took. Still snow here in Minnesota!

I expected a great product and somehow was still impressed! I'm coming from 5 years with my RockyMounts Monorail which has remained solid here in the salty NorthEast roads (with minor lube and cleaning). I wanted a swing-out for a while now so that i could fully utilize my bed drawers when camping. The ease of use and build quality on this rack is everything I had hoped for. Installation took about 15 minutes.
Pros:
- Easy to use for loading/unloading bikes compared to the 1UP system where you definitely need two hands at all times
- Easy to use swing-out feature with double locks for added security
- Fantastic fit and finish all around
Cons:
- My rack came with three small nicks on it from the shipping process. RockyMounts should revise the packaging so this doesn't happen to other customers. I'll email them
- The screw-in lock for the swing-out works well but I believe a latch system would be much easier (similar to the Kuat swing-out)
- No decals/branding? When in the upright position there isn't any branding of the rack. It's all just plain black. A white "RockyMounts" decal would look great!
See attached videos for fitment on a 2020 Toyota Tacoma using a Kuat Hi-Lo 7" or 10" Hitch Extender. It clears the tailgate by about 4mm in the 7" extension! If this is too close for comfort, you can extend it to 10" for plenty of clearance.

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!

Works great, Easy to secure bike on and to take off rack. Small problem, weather cover for lock does not stay in closed position. The lock to secure ramp to receiver hitch is poor quality. I purchased a much better locking pin from Amazon

I’ve used several different hitch-mounted bike racks over the years. The cost of the RockyMounts GuideRail spooked me initially, however while putting it together I could clearly see that the quality is undeniable. The rack is really easy to assemble and use. The locking hitch bolt jam feature keeps the rack from jiggling and my 55-pound 29-inch enduro ebike fits securely in the wheel mounts. The included security chain is very heavy-duty and the integrated lock, which uses the same key as the included hitch pin is a really nice feature. If you have a shell on your pickup or if you have a van or SUV, you might need a hitch extension to keep wide handle bars away from the vehicle on the inside rail. My pickup tailgate can be lowered with the rack in the all the way down position, but it makes contact when lowered with the rack in the mid position. Check your application for clearance before lowering your tailgate with the rack installed on your vehicle. I did a bit of searching and etrailer had the lowest price with the quickest free shipping on this rack at the time.

See what our Experts say about this RockyMounts Hitch Bike Rack
- E-Bike Rack Recommendation that Could Possibly Carry an 85 lb BikeHey Dixie! Thanks for the kind words from a fellow Missourian! So your situation is kind of tough for a single bike rack solution as we technically do not have a bike rack that can carry an 85 lb bike at this time. The highest rated option is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HLY84FR which has an 80 lb per bike rating. So this could work with your 85 lb e-bike only if you took the battery out and it weighed more than 5 lb. There isn't a swing away option for this rack either. Does...
view full answer... - Bike Rack With Swing Away To Drivers Side Of VehicleAs the RockyMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR will only swing away to the passenger side you might consider the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVD20B which you can use with a Kuat Bike Rack # NV22B. This combination will swing to the drivers side.
view full answer... - Can RockyMounts AfterParty Bike Rack be Adapted For 4 Inch TiresHi Rose, The RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack # RKY37ZR cannot be adapted for 4 inch tires, though we do have an option for a swingaway bike rack that will work with tires that large: - RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack # RKY10002 The BackStage # RKY10002 is compatible with tires up to 5 inches wide, and like the AfterParty it has a 60 lb per-bike capacity so it can carry heavy bikes.
view full answer... - E-Bike Rack to Clear Spare Tire for 2025 Jayco TerrainHi Bill, great question. With the spare tire sticking out about 12 inches from the hitch pin and the mounting bracket sitting about 17 inches above the hitch pin, there are not any bike racks that will clear the spare tire, let you open the rear doors without a swing away option, carry both of your 38 lb e-bikes, and still fold up close to the spare tire. The best option we have that checks the most boxes is the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes, Wheel Mount, 2 inch...
view full answer... - What Bike Rack Options do I Have if I Want to be Able to Lower My Tailgate?Hello John. For lowing a tailgate, I definitely recommend going with a swing away. The RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002 is a great bike rack and will get the job done, but it is not your only option. If you were to get the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # SAR36VR you could use any bike rack that uses a 2" receiver. The Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - 2" Hitches # Y92VR is also a great rack as far as a swing -away option, there are some...
view full answer... - Can Bikes with Fender Fit on RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike RackYes and no. The RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack # RKY37ZR can be used if your bike has a smaller fender, but if it's a larger fender that covers most of the tire then it won't work as the clamps will damage the fenders. I'm attaching a photo showing some bikes on the rack so you can see about where the clamps will sit on your tires.

- Could RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Work on Ford Transit and ClearI wish we had ability to do that but we haven't had the chance to do so and we don't have a vehicle nearby we could just grab. Unless the hitch of your Transit van is really far recessed under our rear bumper or your bikes have abnormally long handlebars I do not see how the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY37ZR wouldn't work for you though. It has a solid amount of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray center.
view full answer... - Availability of Loading Ramp for RockyMounts Bike Rack on 2018 SprinterHi Deborah; it may be possible to make a ramp from another brand work with your RockyMounts bike rack but there are no ramps specifically made by them and it depends on the exact model. I typically recommend swapping for a bike rack that comes with a ramp or has one for that particular model. If you have the RockyMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR you were looking at you could trade it out for the Kuat Piston Pro # KU76ZR or Inno Tire Hold HD # IN25RR. Both of these have ramps you can add separately....
view full answer... - How Much Rear Clearance Does The RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack # RKY37ZR Have? The RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack # RKY37ZR is going to be 7-1/2" when folded up from the hitch pin center hole to the closest tray on the rack. With the rack laid down for loading bikes the tray for the first bike is going to be roughly 16" from the hitch pin center hole. With these measurements you will be able to check and ensure if you will have the clearance needed on your Sprinter van with the rear spare tire rack.
view full answer... - High Quality Platform Style Swing-Away Bike Rack RecommendationI have the perfect solution for you with the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY37ZR. This platform rack matches perfectly with what you're looking for, includes locks, and also uses a newer style upright arms that secure your bikes by the wheels and is more adjustable that the single arm wheel holder. The AfterParty can accommodate 60 lb bikes with up to 3" wide tires so it will work with a wide variety of bike designs that don't use a rear fender. Attached...
view full answer... - Will The RockyMounts AfterParty Bike Rack Interfere With The Rear Camera View When Stowed Hey Lisa, Yes, the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY37ZR along with any other foldable bike rack would interfere with the view of a rear camera when in the folded-up/stowed position.
view full answer... - Swing Away Bike Rack For Bike With Rear FenderHey Laura, There is a swing-away rack you can use with the Allant+ 7s Stagger that has the rear fender but not the RockyMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR. The rear wheel holder won't be compatible with the fender at all, as its not able to secure a rack via the frame or fender - it simply won't offer the necessary stability. So instead I recommend the following: - RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10002 The # RKY10002 is a wheel-mounted rack as well, but just for the front tire....
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack w/ Ramp For e-Bike That Can Use Swing Away AdapterI have an option for you that has a ramp, but the RockMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR is not compatible with a ramp. For a ramp you'd need to go with the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR which includes a ramp allowing you to roll a bike with tires up to 3.25" onto the rack, and will work with e-bikes up to 66lbs per bike. This doesn't swing away like the AfterParty, but you could add the BackSwing # Y02483 to add the same feature to the OnRamp.
view full answer... - Can RockyMounts AfterParty Bike Rack Clear Rear of 2010 Toyota RAV4 When FoldedWhen we installed the Curt hitch part # C13149 on a 2010 Toyota Rav4 we found that from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear of the vehicle (rear spare) measures 7-1/2 inches. The RockyMounts Afterparty part # RKY37ZR has 7-1/2 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the rack when folded, but since this dimension is on a much lower portion of the rack and is very small it would not interfere with the rear spare of your RAV4.
view full answer... - Will Handlebars Clear Truck Bed Cap On Chevy SilveradoThe swing away feature on the # RKY37ZR will still work with your Silverado. All you need to do is load the bike closest to the truck with the front wheel facing to the left. If it is set up like this the handlebars won't come near your shell. The bike in the outer tray will be far enough out to clear.

view full answer... - What Hitch and Bike Rack Should I Get for MY 2025 Subaru Forester?Hello Kris, Welcome to etrailer! I'm glad you found us. Your question makes perfect sense, especially if you've never had a hitch installed before. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13409 is a custom-fit hitch for your 2025 Subaru Forester. It mounts using existing holes in the vehicle's frame, so there is no drilling into the frame required for installation. There is some trimming of the underbody panel, which is a normal part of the installation, but there are no modifications made...

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.
