With a 60-lb capacity, the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo is built for e-bikes and daily rides alike. The ratcheting hook and stabilizer strap grab the front wheel without touching the frame or fender, keeping finishes safe whether you’re hauling a carbon road bike or a full-fender e-bike. The deep wheel cradle and extra-long strap fit tires up to 5.0", while the design works even if your front tire deflates mid-trip — the hook still holds firm.
Getting to your rear gear doesn’t mean unloading your bike. A front-mounted handle tilts the HighNoon down — even with your bike loaded — so you can reach the cargo area fast. When not in use, it folds up flat to keep a low profile and save storage space. The handle placement means two-handed control while lowering or raising the rack, no awkward reaching required.
Rattles and sway are gone thanks to the threaded anti-rattle hitch pin. Tightening it locks the rack solidly in place so there’s zero play at highway speeds or on rough roads. The removable adapter sleeve makes it simple to switch between 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers, all while keeping the same tight fit.
Both the rack and your bike lock down together. A cable lock secures the bike to the rack, and a locking hitch pin keeps the rack attached. The locks are keyed alike, so one key handles everything. It’s a small touch that makes loading, locking, and hitting the road that much simpler.
Whether you ride a step-through cruiser, a fat-tire trail bike, or a compact commuter, the HighNoon fits it. It handles wheelbases up to 52", wheels from 20" to 29", and tires up to 5" wide. At just 29 lbs, the rack is easy to move and store, yet its steel construction and black powder coat keep it durable and rust-resistant for years of rides.

A well engineered product. The assembly instructions could have been better.
Transaction was quick and easy. Rack arrived in perfect condition. Thank you.
i like it ! no issues
I got this for expandability, low profile so I can lower my tailgate with it on, and compatibility with e-bikes with fenders. Assembly was pretty quick and easy. Only issue is that your front fenders cannot come down to low to the ground - the front wheel stop will interfere.
etailer was helpful in answering questions prior to ordering. Then bike rack I’ll put together tomorrow. Looks pretty straightforward. Compared price with Amazon and etrailer had the same price. Wanted and gave the sale to etailer. Great people to do business with
Thank you for written instructions in addition to drawings! So tired of Chinese manuals that either have no written instructions or are in gibberish. This bike rack works perfectly with my Chevy Express van. The tilt function allows me to open my rear doors for access to the van. A well designed rack that allows me access to my vehicle through the rear doors
I like the bike carrier, it has good quality and also a smart design. It is not too heavy and it is compact.
I wish the locking system was more convinient, the cable loocks strong but is too long.
I had difficulty instaling the end cap on the bar that secures the front weel, the holes for the two screws where not aligned for that reason was not easy to get them in.
Overall a good product, I spect to use this bike carrier for many years.
The rack works really well, and I even have an awkward bike because it is actually an adult scooter retrofitted for urban mushing. Finding a rack has been really difficult, but this one is perfect! The assembly directions are really poorly written though. I found an assembly video online that helped tremendously. Great bike rack, and easy service with etrailer.
It is ok but not as stable as Thule I had. It does hold the bike securely. For the price it is fine. I like the integrated locks where as another band, 1Up which I liked better, does not have the same. The main Reason I did purchase it
Great customer service. And manufacturer answered questions as well very happy
Great bike rack
Love this bike rack. Instructions were easy to follow, and it is easy to mount my e-bike. Like the fact that the rack when empty is lower that the lift gate of my suv.
So far so good. Assembly was super easy compared to previous bike racks. One of the main reasons we went with this one was its low profile. The one bike version sits low enough that it does not impede the vehicle backup sensors when not in use. As for the build of the rack, it appears sturdy where it needs it. The tip back position does allow for easy trunk access. All in all, good purchase.
2 things I would prefer: I would feel more confident if there was a second stabilizing bar and I wish the bike sat in the opposite direction so the bike chain was towards the vehicle so I wouldn’t be covered in bike grease after getting it mounted. I’m 70 and e-bikes are heavy. Maybe I should have gotten one with a ramp.
Great deal, I picked up this lightly used Rockymounts Highnoon FC Solo Bike Rack for a little less money with a few minor scratches (that I spray-painted). Really, it was almost new, the bottom of the rack closest to the ground was where it was marred so I assume someone with a lower vehicle returned this. I'm including tons of photos of it mounted with and without the bike, tilted with hatch open plus various close-ups with the hook mounted close to and further from the fork (further from the fork being useful for bikes with fenders). I drove it briefly both ways and didn't notice much movement either way, but it did seem more solid with the hook mounted closer the fork. So yeah, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I returned a Thule rack that wasn't weight-rated to my e-bike (should've done more research) and paid less for the used Rockymounts rack (even with the restocking fee!). If I need to carry another bike, I can order the Highnoon Add-On for another $200. It looks to be as simple a build as this one was. Easy-to-understand directions, good quality materials, like powder-coated steel and study plastic. The rubber straps remind me of Snowmobile hood straps which are quite durable. I don't think that I'll even cut them, just wrap and tuck under, nice grab-nubs on the ends. Anyways they're available in the Rockymounts site for a reasonable price as are all the parts if they need replacement. All hardware was thankfully included (tools even). I think it looks very sharp on my Crosstrek. Oh, it doesn't block my plate when folded up which I'm happy about (add-ons would change that).
So stoked about the Rockymounts Highnoon FC Solo.
Carrys my 70lb. Ebike.
Well.
Happy with this bike carrier

I hate to tell you this Nomad, but this rack is only supposed to be used on bikes up to 60 pounds, you are 10 pounds over the limit my friend. The Benton LittleShift Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 2" Hitches - Wheel or Frame Mount # B54VR would be a better fit for you as it can handle bikes up to 80 pounds.

This bike rack is well made and keeps my e-bike stable and secure. The rack is for a bike with fenders which my bike has. The design allows that. A six hundred mile trip at hi way speeds demonstrated to me the excellence of this product.
Easy to assemble - very low profile when not in use.
Decent for the money, but there's a design issue for ebikes like the Lectric XP (20" tires and rear hub motor). This is the most popular ebike in the US and the load is carried way to one side of the rack. There's a side to side adjustment but only a few inches. Even with the tray set as far to the right (front wheel) as possible, the much heavier rear hub is 25" to the hitch and the front hub is just 19". If I could move the tray 10" to the right, this would position the bike perfectly. I think it's awful that they didn't simply fabricate additional bolt holes to allow for this adjustment. Rockymounts recommended that I spend $1000 on a different one of their racks, which only is available in a 2-bike model. Disappointing.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Jerry. I'm glad you found a way to make this work, although I do understand it is not the ideal set up. Please keep in mind since e-bike batteries are susceptible to combustion during a collision, we recommend removing the battery while you are transporting it with your bike rack as a safety precaution. E-bikes are so much fun! Where do you like to ride?
I have used this for over a year now and am completely happy with the design and function. Using it with a Trek e-mtb that weighs 54+ lbs. I like that the bolt that pins it to the receiver, locks it down tight so there is zero movement/rattle going down the road. Also love the included security cable and the 2 matching locks that came with it, to secure to the rack to the receiver and cable to the bike. I also like the fact that it can be converted to a 2 bike carrier with the purchase of an additional add-on unit.

After 2 years of use I am still happy with this rack. However one of the locks was lost in transit and I am disappointed that a replacement lock is not available to purchase from the manufacturer or e-trailer.
Info for this part was:
At etrailer we provide the best information available about the products we sell. We take the quality of our information seriously so that you can get the right part the first time.
