Accessibility-Ensuring Bike Racks

The RockyMounts MonoRail Platform Rack Swings Away from the Rear

— September 20, 2016 — Autos
Mounting bikes to the rear of one's vehicle leads to the trunk being rendered inaccessible, so the RockyMounts MonoRail Platform Rack looks to help change this annoyance. Mounting easily onto a trailer hitch, the rack features the brand's swing-away technology that allows easy access to the trunk area without having to take the bikes off the rack.

The bike rack enables two bikes to be securely mounted on the unit without having either touch each other to ensure that damage won't be incurred during transport. The RockyMounts MonoRail Platform Rack comes backed by a lifetime warranty and is crafted from corrosion-resistant chromoly. While not available just yet, the rack is expected to be ready for purchase soon.

3. Corrosion-resistant Materials - Using corrosion-resistant materials in the manufacturing of bike racks presents new opportunities for creating long-lasting and durable bike racks in the market.
