RockyMounts GuideRail
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
The RockyMounts GuideRail is a platform hitch rack for two bikes available for 1.25” or 2” hitch receivers. The 1.25” version is compatible with a 2” hitch adapter sleeve (purchased separately). This rack fits 36” to 55” wheelbases, 20” to 29” wheels, and 19mm to 3” tires, though not bikes with fenders. The lightweight GuideRail receives praise for its solid build quality, stability in transit, and overall ease of use. While expensive, there’s little to criticize, and most experts consider it worthy of its price tag.Expert Reviews
