Built to handle serious weight, the RockyMounts GuideRail carries two bikes up to 60 lbs each without wobble or stress. That means e-bikes, carbon frames, and custom finishes are safe in transport. The pivoting upright arms grab each bike firmly by the wheels, keeping the frame untouched and the paint scratch-free. With a maximum wheelbase of 55" and tire width up to 3", this rack is ready for everything from sleek road bikes to trail machines.
Wheel-only contact means no clamps anywhere near your frame. The pivoting upright arms lock securely against your tires, and pre-marked bridges make setup fast for different wheel sizes from 20" to 29". The process is simple: drop your bike in, swing the arms in place, and go. The grooved trays let you fine-tune spacing so handlebars and pedals don’t bump each other, giving each bike its own space.
When you need to grab gear or open the hatch, the GuideRail tilts down easily—even with bikes loaded. The front-mounted release handle means you can tilt or fold the rack without reaching through or around bikes, keeping both hands on the rack for control. Folded up, it stays compact for parking or storage, with just 6-1/2" from the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack.
An anti-rattle hitch pin keeps the rack stable in the receiver so it doesn’t move over bumps or rough roads. For security, locks are included for both the rack and your bikes. The nylon-covered 10 mm square-link chain threads through your frames and locks into a hidden core on the rack. Both locks are keyed alike, so one key handles everything.
The GuideRail combines steel and aluminum with a black powder coat finish that resists corrosion and keeps it looking clean ride after ride. At 49 lbs, it’s sturdy but manageable for one person to handle. It’s a simple, solid design that focuses on strength, function, and a clean look—everything you need for confident bike transport.

So far so good, and I use it an avg of 15 times a month during riding season. All my rides I drive to ride site to avoid traffic
This was so easy to assemble and install on my new Maverick! My partner and I did a short ride at Brown County state park to try it out before doing 14 miles on the People Trail in Columbus today. Makes taking our bikes on the road super easy.
Snagged this rack up on sale. Was looking at a more expensive alternative that was double the price. Coming from Thule and 1up, this rack is much better and has some very helpful features. It’s built very well and looks great.
It's perfect.
Excellent rack doesn’t wobble at all. Holds the bikes firmly in place.
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.
This is by far the best bike accessories purchase I have made. This thing is rock solid when heading down the road.
