eBike Rated RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack Review

The RockyMounts GuideRail is hands down one of the nicest racks we've used to date. For $849.99 you get a lightweight, stout, aluminum bike rack that looks very modern and nice on the back of your car or truck. That's just the visual perk, functionally speaking this rack is capable of carrying two bikes in its original configuration up to 60lbs per tray. There is a tray add on for $299 to make it a three bike carrier with a minor decrease in load capacity per tray, much the same as a decrease in load capacity for rv or offroad use. The two arm design with the ratchet mechanism locks the bikes in easily and snug. Additionally you have the freedom to load bikes facing either direction, so no need to worry about which way you started to load your bike. They don't bounce around or move at all once locked in. Equally by pushing the blue lever in before flicking it out, you release the pressure on the ratchet making it extremely easy to release the arms and extend them out of the way when unloading the bikes. This little detail may not seem like much but after fighting with various other arm mechanism's and having to squeeze the release with all your might, this light touch pressure release is the solution you didn't know you were looking for.
For our use, we have found the RockyMounts Guiderail to be built to a very high standard and after thousands of miles and many months of testing we don't forsee this rack to let us down anytime in the future. The Guiderail has one major limitation when it comes to its rather wide variety of bike sizes it can accommodate, and that is it's inability to secure bikes outfitted with fenders. Although a problem for the Guiderail, RockyMounts offers other racks suitable for that task and they all meet the same build quality and carry over most of the same features seen on the Guiderail.

Hi folks,
I’m in New England and I have on your sites Including your web site. Your information
is exceptional. The E Bike revolution is exploding I was talking rather be lectured on
E Bikes unfortunately is was extremely rude and his knowledge was lacking. We
where talking about Bike helmets. I explained that if one goes over 15 mph it’s prudent
to protect one’s brain with a helmet designed for that. He informed me I was wrong and
proceeded to wipe out. Oh for me to be a lowly engineer and him to be a doctor. He had
a number of scrapes and a ton of bruises. My question is could you folks please recommend
a company or company’s his wife asked. I said I no just the people.
Thanks so much

@ronpatrick6058 Thank you for thinking of us! Yes Ebikes are exploding and getting more people out there for sure, which is great. Like you, we hope people are being safe and responsible on the roads. Some helmets are definitely safer than others, and all helmets should be replaced after 5 years as the foam hardens. One of our go to helmets is the Abus Pedelec 2.0. here is our review (www.electricbikejournal.com/abus-pedelec-2-0-mips-helmet-review/). It is NTA 8776 rated, which is "ebike" rated for a bit higher speed than normal analog bikes. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much you can get on a lot of sites and they all carry the one the only
helmet. One big caveat is you only have one brain . You information is greatly
appreciated. I will pass it on to the folks who need the information. I have been
on your site for quite awhile and I have shared the one with the giveaway to
a lot of people. Maybe this time I might get lucky. Never have won anything but
no complaints. Life’s great.
Thanks
Loads…

Guys,
Thanks for the very specific information on the Abus Pedelec 2.0 E Bike helmet with the 8776 rating. The Doc’s
wife who wiped out got online and ordered one for one very arrogant Doctor. She’s very grateful for the information
you folks provided. My wife saw me reading about the helmet and said you have a bike helmet. I told her that with
the new faster bikes and E bikes and that after 5 years regardless of how fast one goes. The plastic in the helmet
degrades and they aren’t safe. Maybe for your birthday we live in New England and it’s cold. She sees me looking
at E bikes but that’s another story.
Thanks..

@@Instantpower332 you're welcome! Glad you could share the knowledge and they could get some good safety equipment. Hope you can get one for yourself!

Another great review, but one thing I couldn’t get clear info is how far away/rooms between the hitch and tray when it’s folded. Reason why I asked is mine hitch is aftermarket on my Jeep GC the hitch is like 2” tuck in away from bumper and I’m concerning the bike tray will have contact with my bumper when it’s folded.
