Question:

RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - Wheel Mount Checking to see if this rack will fit my 2018 Accord. I believe I got my hitch from you a few years ago, a 1.25. Not sure if that hitch is a class 2 one, which this requires. Thank you.

According to the folks at RockyMounts, their # RKY10007 MonoRail bike rack isn't compatible with a Class I receiver hitch, which is what your 2018 Honda Accord uses.

This being said, I do have a solution for you. I'd recommend the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU64FR instead. Both racks are very similar, with both having the ability to tilt away from the vehicle for easier trunk access. The rack is compatible with Class I, II and III hitches, so it'll work perfectly with your Accord. Both racks are at the same price point, and Kuat makes a super high-quality product. The rack includes a cable lock to secure the bike to the rack, but the # HL1 hitch lock is sold separately.

I've linked to a product demonstration video for the rack I recommended, which shows the rack being test fit on a Honda Accord.
