Well made, sturdy, easy to install. I'm new to this whole thing but I wish there was a toolless way to mount the rack to the crossbars to make it faster. But I was able to use my drill motor to quickly mount and remove the rack from my crossbars to make is very quick and easy.

One question how do I get the locks for rack?

You can lock your RockyMounts TomaHawk Bike Rack by fitting the integrated locks with lock cores. Part # RKY0332 will give you two lock cores and keys that are keyed alike so you only need one key to unlock both locks. These locks will secure your bike rack and your bike.
by:
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:
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:
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:
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 &amp I couldnt be happier! No problems so far &amp I have taken it on at least 20 trips across ontario. Very good quality &amp has not put a single scratch on my bike... 5 stars!!

by:
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.

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:
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:
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:
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:
Fast delivery, easy to install, easy to use with bike also! Money well spent!
by:
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:
Nice carrier, easy to assemble and install, works with fat tire bike without having to purchase extra parts
by:
I've had the entire 3 bike rack for about 4 years now and it is great. I use it at least once a week and have had no problems. It is heavy with the 3rd rack on, it's difficult for my wife and son to use with the 3. I take the third rack on and off frequently as I need it, and I switch the whole rack from car to car often as needed as well and don't mind it at all. The weight is the only potential draw back, its a great value for what you get.
by:
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:
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:
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:
This rack is great. Easy to install; bike mounts easily; sturdy. I'm happy with it.

A year in, so far so good. Its sturdy, and the rack is easy to take on and off. Etrailers great.

by:
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!)

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.

by:
The product is as it was described, but a little tricky to assemble for a novice like myself. It is a sturdy piece of equipment and I'm looking forward to using it this week end !

  • Will Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs Fit RetraxPRO XR And Clear Locking Handle On 2022 Ford F-250
    Hey Greg! Yes, the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Sportz Crossbars # RRRLT600H will fit the T-slot rails on your RetraxPRO XR. For a set of four under one part number we have the # RRRLT600. Regarding the clearance, the handle won't clear as is so you will need to add in spacer blocks # RRQMVA25. You can pair these with the Rhino-Rack Sportz Aero Crossbar # RR85AG (65") or # RR25AG (71") for a complete rack to carry your bikes/basket. I recommend grabbing a quick measurement between the...

    Thank you for the pictures that you sent 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. Since your crossbar spread should be 32" for this roof rack on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee your bike...

The Monkey Bars has one of the easiest installations of any roof racks we carry.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Lexus IS 250 for a Bike Rack and Light Trailer
    I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver, part # 24923, for your 2015 Lexus IS 250. It's confirmed to fit both the sedan or convertible models. The hitch is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver so you need to make sure the bike rack you use fits the Class I. The bike rack I recommend is the very popular Thule T2 Pro XTR, part # TH23JV. The T2 is a platfrom rack that carries up to 2 bikes at 50 pounds each. it can be folded up out of the way when you're not using it as well as tilted...

  • Recommended Way to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2006 Scion xB with a Bare Roof
    Like you said you aren't able to carry 3 bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack with your 2006 Scion xB because you need at least a Class II hitch and only Class I hitches are available for your vehicle. So that leaves either the roof or a trunk mount carrier. If you want to add a roof rack you can use the Rhino-Rack system, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK138. Then add 3 bike racks like the TomaHawk, part # RKY1222. However, I recommend a trunk mount rack. It's a lot less expensive...

This setup has a lot of versatility with 2 pairs of crossbars to support full-size accessories like cargo boxes, bike trays, and ski racks. The fixed front and rear bars run front-to-back and are great for shorter accessories or a cargo box like # B44FR, but they aren’t always long enough for bike trays so you'd want to mount the bike tray left to right instead of inline with...

    Since you already have the awesome Ultra Groove Tonneau Cover on your 2020 Silverado, I would suggest getting the ladder rack # 311-ELF0301 made for your cover # 311-KMFA19A45. This way you can have the kayaks sit over your cab so you don't have to have them hang off the back. If you did have them hanging off the back you would need to insert a load extender # Y01149 on the back. This rack will sit 24.5 inches above your bed rails and the crossbars will be great for using a kayak carrier...

    The only hitch that fit your 2008 Scion xD is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 11491 but that was discontinued back in 2020.

  • Carrying Bikes with a Rooftop Cargo Basket
    The Thule roof mounted cargo basket, part # TH859XT, that you referenced isn't designed to carry bikes.

If your vehicle has crossbars and all you want to carry is bikes then you can use a rooftop bike carrier like the RockyMounts TomaHawk, part # RKY1222. If your vehicle doesn't already have crossbars let me know the year, make, and model, as well as the style of roof, and I'll recommend a complete...

  • Carrying 6 Bikes on a 2012 Honda Odyssey
    There's a couple ways to do this, but the first thing you'll want to verify is your vehicle's towing capacity and roof capacity with your manufacturer to make sure you don't exceed your capacity. A quick tip on this setup is that the two 16 inch bikes are likely best carried in the rear cargo area of the vehicle, as there's only a few hitch racks that can carry them. Either way, you'll need to attach a hitch to get the best capacity out of your vehicle. I recommend using the Draw-Tite...

    Yes, you can use a different brand of bike rack like the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack part # RKY1222 or the Thule SideArm 594XT with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System. The reason for this is because the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System uses a standard 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall crossbar that will be compatible with pretty much any rooftop accessory that works with aero crossbars whether that be from Yakima, Rola, or in this case RockyMounts and Thule.

Aside from that they are very similar so I would let the better stability of the Swagman make me pick it. I attached links to both test course videos for you to check out as well.

  • Solution for Mounting Roof Bike Rack on Sheet Metal Roof
    I wouldn't say what you are trying to do is impossible, but it's not recommended for sure.

You'd be better off installing the roof rack part # S80510 first on the sheet metal then installing the part # RKY1222.

    The 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...

    The best bike rack is the one that's best for you. A lot of which is determined by how many and what kind of bikes you're going to be carrying.
