Can RockyMounts HighNoon Bike Rack be Used to Carry Bike with Fenders

Question

Question:

Thank you for your response. My bad, I should have indicated that my bike is an ebike at 60#. Thus the suggested Thule Helium is definitely not an option. Also, I had a two part question. Can a ramp be used with the RockyMounts HighNoon rack?

The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR has added extra straps so it would be able to carry a bike with fenders. These extra straps allow you to move the arm past the fender. It can hold a bike up to 60-lbs with tires up to 5" thick.

The T1 doesn't have a way to add a ramp to it and even if it did the rack doesn't have a track that the wheel could follow to roll the bike up on to it. For a heavier e-bike the best solution is an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed, comes with a ramp to make loading and unloading easier, and also uses frame clamps so that fenders wouldn't get in the way.

Hi Connie; the Hollywood Racks CrossTrack #HLY68RR is not compatible with fenders. The same is true for other bike racks with this mounting style that fit a 1-1/4" receiver. Do you know if the hitch on your 2025 Honda HR-V is a Class I or Class…

You’re not alone, one tlx owner mentioned zero scraping issues even on steep driveways because the hitch mounts well above the exhaust and clearance is generous. As long as your hitch is installed correctly, the Crosstrack should ride high enough to…

That’s a smart concern, Nia. The Crosstrack sits close to the vehicle and folds up compact when parked. On low–ride height vehicles, the 1-bike versions #HLY98RR (for 2" hitch) or #HLY68RR (for 1-1/4" and 2" hitch) are preferable…

Hey Tim, this is a really great question as the RockyMounts HighNoon part #RKY87RR and the Monorail part #RKY10007 are both very similar. To the point I almost don't see why they have both available at first glance. But anyway the Monorail has a…

Just looking at your Tern HSD bike with fenders, I'm going to say no the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike #SAR23MR is not going to work. I did some research and it looks like a lot of Tern owner's went with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE…

Answer 6

Curt trailer hitch #C12221 would be a good option as long as your 2005 Toyota Matrix is not an XR or XRS model. If it is an XR or XRS model then #C12013 would be the best option for a Curt hitch. These are both Class II hitches which means you have…

Yes, the arms of the Saris MHS Bike Rack #SAR23MR will fold all the way to the ground. I have included a video review linked below which you can see both arms down when unloading a bike at 7:45 into the video.

Actually, the Kuat Transfer 1 part #KU64FR you mentioned is lighter than the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack #RKY87RR by 3 lbs. It weighs 26 lbs and the RockyMounts weighs 29. It's not a huge difference but if you prefer the tilting…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
