RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
1 year in, this remains a fantastic rack. It is best in the one-bike configuration, as it is more solid and the trunk on my VW Golf can be opened even with it raised. The extension is a little wobbly simply because it is a separate piece. You definitely need to crank down the screws on the extension periodically. Overall, if you want a one-bike rack that can accommodate a buddy's bike for the occasional ride, this is perfect. If you need two all the time, I'd look for a single-piece unit for the sturdiness. But the tray style is 1000% the way to go!
I just finished installing this rack on my 2017 Subaru Outback. I've been researching platform racks for about 2 months now, and the most important things to me (other than a reasonable price) were no frame contact, ease of getting the bike on and off the rack, not too heavy for me to take it off the car, and enough clearance in the back for me to close my garage door. This rack is perfect for me. And I like that it's expandable to two bikes if I want to do that down the line. It came very well packaged. I am a single gal and not handy AT ALL, but I was able to do the installation with no problem. I did put my bike on the rack and took a short test ride, it was very stable. Very solid well made product!

RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Absolutely love it. Put it on the car the first day and took it out with the bike. Was a little iffy about it at first but after a few minutes my fears were eased. This rack is rock solid and I’m so glad I purchased it.
This is a great bike rack. I was rear ended a few weeks ago, which damaged the bike rack, but I liked it so much I bought the exact same one.
What our customers are saying:
"The bike rack went together with ease. Everything was in the box, no missing parts. It was very stable on my first trip with it.Works well with womens bikes also. Delivery was prompt with no mishaps. Good job"
