Built to handle electric bikes and fully equipped rides, the HighNoon FC carries up to three bikes with a 135-lb total capacity (45 lbs per bike or 60 lbs per bike when carrying two). The ratcheting hooks grab the front wheels instead of the frame, keeping paint and fenders untouched. Stabilizer straps wrap below the fender for extra hold, so even bikes with custom finishes or step-through frames stay secure without a single point of frame contact.
From slim commuters to 5" fat-tire builds, this rack makes space for them all. Deep wheel cradles and extended straps fit a wide range of wheel sizes from 20" to 29". The pivoting rear cradles automatically adjust to different wheelbases, so you don’t have to slide or tighten each bike position. Whether you’re mixing e-bikes, gravel rigs, or everyday cruisers, each one sits stable with 12" of spacing between bikes.
When you need to reach your cargo area, the HighNoon FC tilts down even with bikes loaded. A front-mounted handle lets you control the tilt with both hands, so lowering or folding the rack is smooth and simple. After unloading, fold it up to save space—perfect for keeping it mounted while you park or storing it compactly off the vehicle.
The tiered, stadium-style trays keep handlebars and pedals from clashing and add ground clearance for steep driveways. Each tray adjusts up to 3" side-to-side, so you can fine-tune spacing for bikes of different shapes. The result is a cleaner, safer fit that prevents contact on the road and keeps every frame scratch-free.
Security comes standard with the HighNoon FC. The included keyed-alike locks secure both the bikes and the rack, while the integrated cable threads through bike frames and locks to the base. A hitch lock snaps onto the anti-rattle hitch pin to hold everything tight and deter theft. The steel body with a black powder-coat finish resists rust, keeping the rack reliable season after season.
Ratings & Reviews
Well designed. More detailed pictures would have helped tremendously for install! Very heavy. Works for two Townies with fenders which is the only one I've found. Nice spacing between bikes
This is a very well-built and sturdy bike rack with excellent design and finish. It holds our two bikes (42 lbs. each) firmly in place with very little movement, held firmly in place. The 2” hitch bolt tightens down to eliminate shaking and vibration. Its only drawback is that it is HEAVY.
Works as advertised.
I like how light this bike rack is. It makes it easy to lower the rack when it’s loaded with two bikes. I also like that the release lever is in the front. The rack is solid, even though most of the components are plastic, and it doesn’t rattle with the two bikes loaded. (Two gravel bikes)
This brand doesn’t have the name recognition of the competitors like Thule and Yakima, but I did my research and it’s a very good value for the product.
The only glitch is that when folded up, it comes just a touch too close to the back of the car when paired with the Curt trailer hitch that I bought. The hitch is mounted a few inches under/inside the bumper of our Chevy Equinox EV. Our hack was to file down one of the tire trays. That was a hard thing to do to a brand new bike rack but we got over it (!) and everything fits snuggly. Upside: the car and rack fit in our tiny garage. But this might not be for you so check where your hitch will mount on your car…maybe it will stick out more than ours…and plan your bike rack purchase accordingly.
Hitch is built strong ang holds the bikes very secure etrailer is my go to store for all my towing needs.
It looks to be a very secure bike rack. Easy to use and accommodates bikes with fenders.
I recently purchased a HighNoon bike rack for my Acura MDX. My decision was based on having one e-bike that had a small front fender and this rack has the front clamp to use on the tire ahead of the fender.
It took me less than an hour to put together and I did a short test drive with two bikes. It seems very sturdy with no rattle or noise.
The support from etrailer was excellent. My first order never made it to UPS for delivery. I reached out to etrailer on a Sunday afternoon and the new order was placed the same day and I received the rack on Wednesday.
I am very impressed with how stable this bike rack holds the bikes and keeps them from bouncing around. Very solid rack and easy to follow the instructions on assembly. etrailer was wonderful to work with and quick to answer questions.
A very nice bike rack. It is rightfully expensive but "you get what you paid for". It carries my gravel bike (22 lbs.) and my wifes ebike (45 lbs.), both bikes riding on the rack snuggly, and secures tightly on the trailer hitch.
I had no problems with the straight forward assembly of the rack.
This rack is very high quality, actually nicer than my older Thule T2 Pro and a lot lighter as well. Set up was pretty straight forward and nothing rattles. Shipping was far faster than I expected. It easily clears the rear hatch of my Equinox EV with the OEM trailer hitch.
First I must say that this fits a 2010 RAV4 or similar model with the rear spare tire. No one I spoke to at etrailer could tell me for sure of it would fit, but one woman I spoke with suggested that I look for a rack with the longest distance between the hitch hole and front edge of rack (most of the listings on etrailer show this). This rack had 12 inches. On the RAV 4, there's plenty of room for bikes, and it can fold up even with the spare tire. The rear hatch is even able to swing open when the rack is tilted down. The rack is very secure in the hitch using the provided hardware. My only complaint is that one of the plastic end caps was defective and won't hold a screw. I contacted Rocky Mounts and they responded quickly asking for a receipt....but they haven't sent a replacement or even acknowledged the receipt. Overall I'm pleased that it fits my car.
Great design and light compared to my old platform rack.
