RockyMounts GuideRail 2 Bike Rack
Premium bike protection with zero frame or fork contact.
The RockyMounts GuideRail is built for riders who want a stronger, cleaner, and more secure platform hitch rack. Using dual load arms, the GuideRail holds bikes by the wheels only, eliminating contact with the frame and fork.
That makes it an excellent choice for carbon fibre bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes, and most e-bikes where frame protection matters.
With a 60 lb capacity per bike, premium anti-wobble hitch system, included security chain, and asymmetric bike loading to reduce handlebar interference, the GuideRail is RockyMounts’ premium solution for serious riders.

Cap-it Take
The GuideRail is the premium choice in the RockyMounts lineup for riders who care about bike protection, stability, and clean design.
