The MonoRail is lightweight, simple and solid. If you want a high-quality and good value hitch-mounted platform carrier for two bikes which has tilt and no frame contact, then look no further. Although it may not have all the features of some other carriers, it represents excellent value for money in this style of bike carrier when you look at the features it does have, its versatility and overall quality.
The MonoRail 2 will carry two bikes weighing up to 27kg each, and snugly lock in tire sizes ranging from road bike sizes to fat bikes (5inch max). It also accommodates wheelbases of 86cm up to 127cm. This makes it versatile, with the ability to carry kid's bikes, carbon road bikes, downhill bikes, e-bikes and even fat bikes. Note that the weight limit per bike will be reduced to 18kg per bike if using the 1 bike add-on kit with this carrier.
Due to the wheel clamp design with no frame contact it's a go-to for carbon bike owners, but it's also generally kinder to the finish on all bikes.
It has a tilt function for rear vehicle access with your bike loaded, and if you decide you need to take three bikes you can use the RockyMounts MonoRail Add-On. Bear in mind when using the add-on you will lower the weight limit to 18kg per bike, which is still more than enough for most of us.
The build quality is excellent, with a durable stealthy satin black finish and well thought out features, such as a hitch lock and a burly bike locking cable.
The MonoRail fits 50mm (2inch) hitches and is easy to install, please refer to the instructions for more details.
For vehicles that have a rear mounted spare tire, a recessed hitch, or vans, Rockymounts also provide the option of the Rockymounts Hitch Extension which gives you an additional 8inches of clearance. To check whether your vehicle needs the extender please measure the distance from the pin-hole near the end of your hitch to your needed clearance point and check it against the Rockymounts dimensions chart.
For safety and legal compliance it's recommended to use a lightboard with your rear mounted bike carrier, the Rockymounts LED licence plate holder is a great option but you'll need the Monorail LED lightboard bracket kit for a perfect fit, sold separately.
It's also backed by the fantastic RockyMounts lifetime warranty, so rest assured you'll have years of trouble-free use.
Note: Please check your hitch rating and local state or territory laws before using this carrier.
