It will also accommodate bikes of all types with wheel sizes ranging from 20in up to 29in and wheelbases from 96cm up to 132cm.
If you need more capacity there is also the option to expand this carrier with the HighNoon Add-On to allow you to carry three bikes. Note that the weight capacity is reduced to 20kg per bike when using the add-on.
Your bikes are secured via an arm clamp which latches onto the front wheel combined with a rear wheel strap, making it a sufficiently solid mounting for most users. This also means that unusual frames and frames with delicate finishes such as carbon can be accommodated. The platforms are also adjustable to ensure no bike to bike interference while underway.
The HighNoon FC has lock a lock included to secure the carrier to your hitch and also a heavy weight cable lock to secure your bikes to your carrier, so you can leave your bikes unattended without a worry in the world about theft. It also has an integrated steel loop to use your own cable lock if preferred.
