Review and Install of rockymounts MonoRail 2" 2-bike Hitch Mount Platform Bike Rack

Awesome 2-bike Hitch Mount Platform Rack. Installation only took me about 20 minutes. Solid connection to hitch with no wobble. Completely no contact with fork or frame which is especially good for carbon bikes.

Great video Jim! I literally just received my Monorail 2” model as well. Easy to put together and really solid on the car. I installed my Monorail on our new 2023 VW Tiguan equipped with a 2” Hitch mount! I will test drive it tomorrow and see how it works re Active Sensors for backing up! I think this will be a lot better than the older Saris rack we had on previously. That 4ack was quite large and a 3 Bike rack as well. It is now on my 2014 Tiguan.

I've been completely happy with the bike rack. No complaints whatsoever. Hope you feel the same.

This product is sturdy and well-designed. It is easy to load and folds when not in use to save space. Excellent product.

[@michaelerbreviews]

I totally agree.

[@krisjcleveland]

Thanks for taking the time. Your video helped me finish the install as the written directions do Not give the extra tips you provide

[@michaelerbreviews]

Glad my video helped!

[@joesmith3908]

Ordered a new one of these for $300 on eBay. Can’t wait to set it up!

[@marccocke9924]

Haha me too! Actually, I'm installing mine this morning!

[@michaelerbreviews]

Was it new or used? Great price.

[@michaelerbreviews]

Why is everybody getting these for such a good price? I'm jealous.

Does the rack interfere with your cars muffler? I’m seeing others with melted plastic holders.
