Hello Carlos,
The RockyMounts DropTop Truck Bed and Utility Track Bike Rack # RKY57ZR is a Thru-Axle mount, meaning you will have to take off the front tire to hold the bike in place. Fits bikes with a 12-mm or 15-mm thru-axle up to 110-mm wide. I have included a review video, you will see how the front tire is taken off, and you will notice that the back tire of the bike is a fat tire. I have also included an image so you can see how the bike is help in place with the # RKY57ZR. Also, if your bike has a standard fork mount you can use the # RKY1082 to make it work.
Happy New Year! May 2025 be your best year yet! From, your friends here at etrailer!
