The RockyMounts Tomahawk bike-rack is a high quality aluminum frame, which will last years to come. And it's universal fit makes it easy to mount on any roof rack! My bike has big Bontrager tires which fit pretty well on the carrier. It took 15 minutes to assemble, but the instructions were not very clear. A [online] video was better help! I haven't used it on a trip yet, but so far so good!

It has been a year since owning the TomaHawk Bike Rack & I couldnt be happier! No problems so far & I have taken it on at least 20 trips across ontario. Very good quality & has not put a single scratch on my bike... 5 stars!!

Very nice roof bike rack carrier. Went on 600ml round trip to the mountains with my fat tire bike. No issues at all. Very stable and secured.
by: Super Z10/20/2020
This is my first Rockymount product, and they have won me over. This was well-designed and secures bicycles very well, despite the broad selection of wheel accomodations. In the future, I will not even look at the other two major bike rack makers. I really like how it requires common bicycle tools to disassemble, which makes me think it is more secure than all the other racks I own that have wingnuts everywhere.

No issues. Great product. Great dealer.

Good sturdy unit. Bought two. Held my 29er and road bike great for a 4-hour haul. Easy to install and put together. Don't even know it's on the roof since it makes no noticeable noise at any speed.
(Hint) I bought a collapsible step stool in case I needed help from a shorter person to put the bike up on the roof. So far no help needed since the "v" helps keep the bike in place as the straps are buckled.
Installed on a 2018 Kia Sorento.
by: Heath R.05/11/2020
Super easy install, I was a bit doubtful of being able to fit clamping arm around my front tire due to my rack, but was able to do it no problem. The rack is steady, both on car and bike holding ability. I would recommend for anyone!
by: Mark B.07/21/2018
This rack is great. I've traveled about 2,500 miles with the bike loaded up and it has been rock solid. Well designed. I bring a little folding step ladder with me that I use to load/unload the bike. When I'm not using the rack, it lays down nicely and you never even know it's up there. Highly recommended product.
by: Christian04/28/2022
This rack is great. Easy to install; bike mounts easily; sturdy. I'm happy with it.
by: David N.11/21/2017
Nice carrier, easy to assemble and install, works with fat tire bike without having to purchase extra parts
by: Derek C.04/25/2017
Fast delivery, easy to install, easy to use with bike also! Money well spent!
by: Rafael01/26/2018
Exactly what I needed for transporting my Fat Bike, thought I would need to install a hitch mount and buy a new bike carrier but after seeing the product in use vía etrailer’s on line video I was ready to take a chance and glad I did, works great on my Thule roof rack cross bars, allowing for secure transport. An additional plus was the quick delivery and the great customer service - thank you!
by: Rob Info11/15/2018
Pros: functions well, easy to use, holds a fat bike, great value.
Cons: I had to loosen the pressure on the arm, it was a bit too hard to move. The rack is noisy in a couple of ways. The "offset" rear mount allows the rack to flex sideways an it rattles against the cross bar, I stuffed some strips from an old tube underneath to quiet it. The handle is somewhat loose on the upright bar, so it allows some rocking when loaded, which causes clunking.
Double straps for fat tires is a little fussy, but it works and is simple. This in minor, but the rack sticks out way far in front of the forward crossbar, it almost looks like it's on backwards.
by: John03/11/2022
easy to install. holds bike steady and tight to the frame. looks well built and perfect for my bicycles.
by: Blain08/29/2018
Good rack with solid hold for mountain and road bikes. Haven't tried with fat bikes yet. Locking operation is quick. Mounting and dismounting takes more time than I'd like, but for the price the Tomahawk is hard to beat.
by: Joseph 06/23/2020
The Rockymount bike rack is a great bike rack and I am very happy with Etrailers service, delivery and communication. I would definitely shop with etrailer again.
by: Raymond05/28/2016
This was just what I needed.
First of all this bike rack is not mounted on an auto roof rack. I have a motor home and us a swivel wheel trailer to carry a motorcycle; the platform is 5 ft long and 8 ft wide I needed some way to also carry a Mongoose fat bike, the method of carry had to be stable, so as not to crash in to the motorcycle and secure so as not to be stolen, but easy for me to use the bike any time I wanted to. This bike rack filled the bill just right. It is strong, holds the fat bike perfectly and secure from theft, and I can get the bike off and on with little effort. The lock cores work great and are worth the extra cash.
Love this thing and recommend it to anyone.
Sorry but I have no way to add pictures.
by: John10/20/2020
The Tomahawk racks are well made and easy to assemble and use. Used two of the racks as basis for a truck bed bike carrier. Mimicked a roof rack mount in the bed of the truck using conduit and metal angle brace. System is sturdy and easily slid into and out of the truck bed. Folds flat and can be hung on garage wall for storage.
by: Mike02/28/2022
Perfect, everything I thought it would be.
by: lizshawm10/04/2019
PROS: easy to install, easy to use, keeps bike secure on top of vehicle, good price
CONS: does not have a lock, getting your bike on and off the top of your vehicle is NOT easy (not a product issue, but something to consider when choosing a top rack or hitch.. I need to carry as many bikes as possible so I have to use the roof, too! all the light weight racing bikes go on top for sure!)
Comments
after a year, the product still works as when new.. no issues.
Elizabeth S - 10/05/2020by: Kcw05/29/2020
I have enjoyed using the rack to transport my bike to different locations to ride and to have maintenance completed. I also recently used the rack to pick up a new bike for my husband from a sporting goods store. I like that I do not have to remove the wheels from the bike when transporting. I have the bike rack of my Scion FRS. It is a good quality rack.
by: Wayne J04/12/2019
Good product, arm was to tight the to move. had the bike to fall onto car! I was able to loss the clamp and now works good!
by: Andy C.10/01/2017
Well constructed, super easy to mount, and holds my fatty like she deserves to be.
Comments
The rack still works great. I use it several times a week and it is holding up very well. Functioning like new. Very satisfied. I use it for both my fat bike and my 29” full suspension trail bike with 2.35” tires. All I have to do to convert is addremove the strap extensions.

view full answer... - Recommended Wheel Mount Roof Top Bike Rack for Fat BikesI do have options for you but I spoke to my contact at Yakima and they informed me that the Yakima HighRoller Wheel Mount Bike Carrier is not compatible with fat bikes that have tires wider than 3". Unfortunately, none of Yakima's wheel mount roof rack bike racks can accommodate a bike with tires wider than 3-1/4". I have attached a list to our wheel mount roof rack bike rack options for you but out of these options, I recommend the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack part # RKY1222 which...

view full answer... - Solution for Mounting Roof Bike Rack on Sheet Metal RoofI wouldn't say what you are trying to do is impossible, but it's not recommended for sure. The mounting studs would be too small to spread the weight of the rack through so it would most likely bend the sheet metal. You'd be better off installing the roof rack part # S80510 first on the sheet metal then installing the part # RKY1222.

- Roof Rack and Wheel Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-350 Crew CabFor your 2005 Ford F-350 crew cab the Rola roof rack part number # R5007 is a confirmed fit and would be a great choice for carrying a couple bike racks. For wheel mount bike racks the RockyMounts TomaHawk part # RKY1222 would be a great option that would fit the rack easily and also carry your bikes securely.

The arm you mentioned can be folded down flat when the bike isn't in place which will provide you better overhead clearance. Given the 4 inch measurement you provided, it looks like you'll just make it.

view full answer... - Do You Carry Larger Tire Cradles for the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302043?I have an answer for you. I confirmed with Thule that since the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302043 is created with the entire platform 1500603220, they unfortunately do not sell the platform with larger tire cradles for fat bike tires. With that being said, you can mount a fat-bike bike rack on a crossbar system on your roof like the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On # RKY1222. Using this method requires a compatible roof rack with your vehicle. In...

It looks like your bike is actually too big for this application and the Yakima ForkChop Y02117 is prying on the Rola Sport GTX Series Roof Rack 59967 which is causing your mounting issues. For your bike to fit properly on the ForkChop you need to make sure that the wheelbase of your bike is within (plus or minus) 10" of your crossbar spread.

- Roof Bike Rack Recommendation to Replace Malone Pilot Roof Mount Bike RackThan you for your purchase of the Malone Pilot Roof Mounted Bike Rack # MPG2103! The Malone bike racks will get the job done but they aren't high quality products. For something that will resist the elements a bit better I recommend checking out the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack # RKY1222 which doesn't come with locks but you can add them with part # RKY0332 so you can lock the bike to the rack and the rack to your roof rack. Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

All are shown on the linked page. Among these are a number with your preferred wheel-mount design, such as the Rhino-Rack Hybrid # RRRBC050-FB which is shown in the linked review and installation videos. The Hybrid accepts fat tires up to 5-inches wide, it includes locks for the rack itself and for your bike, it works with 29-inch wheels and...
view full answer... - Should the Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars Flex Up and Down With AttachmentsThe RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack part # RKY1222 is rated for bikes up to 45 lbs and the Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars part # RREB126B has a weight capacity of 165 lbs so I do not believe overloading is an issue. There should be a small amount of flex but not to the point where the bike/bike rack is bouncing up and down. It sounds like the crossbars may have weakened so it would be wise to replace these after looking them over. The above Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars part # RREB126B...

- Rockymounts Tomahawk Compatibility With The Yakima HD CrossbarsYes, the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes # RKY1222 is compatible with square crossbars like the Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack # Y01160-59 and will work great for you.
view full answer... - Roof Bike Rack that Will Fit a Bike with 50 Inch WheelbaseThe RockyMounts # RKY1222 accomodates up to 49" wheelbase bicycles. We do not have a traditional roof mount rack that will hold larger. However, you should check out the SeaSucker # 298-BH1302 "Hornet" bike rack.
view full answer... - Roof Mounted Bike Rack Similar to Rocky Mounts Split RailThe 1 Bike Add-On for RockyMounts SplitRail for 2" Hitches # RKY1150 does not have a roof mounted option. I recommend the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles Roof Mounted Bike Rack # RKY1201 or fat bike compatible # RKY1201-FB for that application. This will give you a wheel mounted roof rack with a grooved tray that is most similar to the Split Rail design. The # RKY0332 lock cores are sold separately. One more option for fat bikes is the RockyMounts TomaHawk # RKY1222. I've attached videos...
