  • Assembly is “fairly easy” with the help of the clear instructions.
  • Bikes are secured at the wheels, so there is no contact with the frame.

Bottom line

RockyMounts’ HighNoon FC is a fender-compatible platform hitch rack available in one or two-bike versions. Each build has options for 1.25” and 2” hitches. This rack fits 20” to 29” wheels, 36” to 52” wheelbases, and tires up to 5”. Owners praise the HighNoon FC’s sturdiness, straightforward assembly, and ease of use. However, access to the rear of certain vehicles is limited, even with the tilting feature. Overall, owners and the sole expert tester deem the RockyMounts HighNoon FC a great option in this category of vehicle bike racks.
