The Rocky Mounts Monorail 2 Platform Hitch Rack stands out as the most versatile option in the Rocky Mounts lineup. It's designed to handle a wide range of bikes, from sleek road bikes to hefty fat - tyre e - bikes. This rack can carry 2 bikes, with each bike having a maximum weight of 27.1kg. What's great is that it doesn't touch the bike frames; instead, it secures the bikes by the wheel. It can accommodate wheels sized from 20 inches up to 29 inches and fits 2 - inch hitches. The Monorail has a practical design - it folds flat against the vehicle and tilts down 30 degrees, making it easy to access the hatch. It comes with a locking hitch pin, a cable lock, and standard lock pods that all use the same key. Features include fitting 2 - inch hitches, expandable to 3 bikes (up to 45 lbs each with an add - on for the 2 - inch variant), no frame contact, support for road tires up to 5.0 inches and diameters from 20 to 29 inches, compatibility with wheelbases from 34 to 49 inches, anti - wobble bolt for the 2 - inch variant, and it's not suitable for bikes with fenders. The rack weighs 17.6kg (shipping weight 23kg).

Using the Rocky Mounts Monorail 2 Platform Hitch Rack is easy. First, make sure your vehicle has a 2 - inch hitch. Attach the rack to the hitch and use the locking hitch pin to secure it. Then, place your bikes on the rack, securing them by the front wheel. If you have the 2 - inch variant and want to carry 3 bikes, you can use the add - on. When you need to access the hatch, simply tilt the rack down 30 degrees. Remember, this rack is not for bikes with fenders. To maintain the rack, keep it clean and dry. Regularly check the locking mechanisms and the anti - wobble bolt (if applicable) for tightness. If you're not using the rack for a long time, fold it flat against the vehicle to save space.
