Question:

I just realized that the Saris Freedom bike rack SA4412B wont work for my bike and Im returning it. My question is Will the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo bike rack work? I have a 2018 Specialized Kenevo Fatty Enduro with full suspension and Im not for sure of the weight. Ive attached a pic I think. THank You

Jim, can I ask why the Saris # SA4412B doesn't work? The RockyMounts # RKY10007 looks like it has all of the same specs as the Saris minus the fact that the Saris is a two bike frame mounted rack, and the RockyMounts is a single wheel mounted rack.

The RockyMounts will only work with Class II hitches and the RockyMounts will work with both class I and II so if you have a class I hitch the RockyMounts won't work.

Both of these racks have a 60 lb weight limited except if you were using it on a class I hitch then the capacity is 35 lbs (only if using # SA4412B). Also, your bike looks like it comes in right around 53 lbs so both of these racks would be fine weight-wise.

Because it's not the specks the cradle that holds the bike in place won't go around the frame of the bike. If you can see the pic of my bike it has a fat down tube where the battery is located.all of the frame on it is reinforced because of the off road capabilities. It's a down hilll mountain ebike. with 3.0 wheels and won't fit inside the stirrups in fact the straps won't even meet to secure it.

@Jim Gotcha, okay then the wheel mounted rack # RKY10007 is what you'd need since the uprights don't use the frame to secure the bike.
