Overview
A trailhead parking lot with carbon and full suspension bikes is where the MonoRail makes sense. Each bike rolls onto a tray and a clamp locks the front wheel, so nothing touches the frame, and the rack mounts in the hitch receiver.
Holding bikes by the wheel protects delicate frames and fits many frame shapes without adapters. The flip side is that fenders block the clamp. The receiver size and per bike limit are not given, so check them against your hitch and bikes.
Who it's for
Riders with carbon frames or odd shapes who want to avoid frame clamps will like the wheel hold. Commuters and touring riders with fenders need a different rack.
Pros and cons
- No frame contact protects finishes
- Fits many frame shapes
- Hitch receiver size not listed
- Fender equipped bikes not supported
- Heavy to lift on and off
Performance notes
The clamp presses on the front tire to hold the bike upright on the tray, so stability depends on tire size and clamp pressure. Frame shape matters little, since no part of the rack touches the tubes.
