The main difference between the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier part # RBC035 and the Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier part # RBC036 is how they mount. The MountainTrail mounts using a wraparound style clamp whereas the Road Warrior mounts in a track/c-channel.

If you have a track/c-channel then you can use both. The Road Warrior has a three year warranty and the MountainTrail has a lifetime warranty. I have attached a review video of both bike racks for you as well.
