Specs:
The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo has a ratcheting hook with a stabilizer strap that grabs your bike firmly by the front wheel, not the frame or the fender. It's perfect for carrying an e-bike with fenders, a carbon bike, or a bike with a custom paint job. To load your bike, simply place the front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, press down firmly on the ratcheting hook, and wrap the strap around the wheel below the fender. The front wheel cradle also has a stabilizer strap to further secure your bike to the rack.
The rear wheel cradle accommodates a wide variety of bike wheelbases. It pivots front to back, adjusting automatically to your bike's wheelbase so there's no need for sliding and tightening. Secure the wheel in place with the built-in ratcheting strap. The strap also includes an extender for use with a fat bike.
The rack tilts down with your bike loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bike to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.
To make tilting and folding easier, the handle is mounted on the front of the rack. This means you won't have to reach through or around your bike with one hand to reach the handle, while supporting the rack's weight with the other, when lowering the rack. Instead, you'll be able to hold the rack with both hands the entire time.
The rack installs with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your hitch receiver, insert the threaded hitch pin, and tighten it down with the included tool. This will reduce noise and movement while the rack is installed.
A removable adapter sleeve is included so the rack can be converted for use with 1-1/4" hitch receivers. The sleeve attaches to the shank with a single screw and can be installed or removed quickly.
The included locks secure your bike to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. The integrated cable lock threads around your bike's frame and secures to the pivot bolt on the base of the rack.
The hitch lock simply snaps onto the hitch pin. The cable and hitch lock are keyed alike, so you'll only need 1 key for both locks.
An optional 1-bike add-on (sold separately) allows you to convert the rack from a single bike carrier to a 2-bike carrier. This is great for occasions when a friend wants to tag along, or if you find a permanent riding partner.

Perfect for e-bikes or regular bikes with fenders, this 1-bike rack uses a pivoting hook with straps to secure your bike's front wheel. The front-mounted handle lets you tilt the rack to access your cargo area without removing your bike.So far so good. Assembly was super easy compared to previous bike racks. One of the main reasons we went with this one was its low profile. The one bike version sits low enough that it does not impede the vehicle backup sensors when not in use. As for the build of the rack, it appears sturdy where it needs it. The tip back position does allow for easy trunk access. All in all, good purchase.
Thank you for written instructions in addition to drawings! So tired of Chinese manuals that either have no written instructions or are in gibberish. This bike rack works perfectly with my Chevy Express van. The tilt function allows me to open my rear doors for access to the van. A well designed rack that allows me access to my vehicle through the rear doors
I like the bike carrier, it has good quality and also a smart design. It is not too heavy and it is compact.
I wish the locking system was more convinient, the cable loocks strong but is too long.
I had difficulty instaling the end cap on the bar that secures the front weel, the holes for the two screws where not aligned for that reason was not easy to get them in.
Overall a good product, I spect to use this bike carrier for many years.
Great deal, I picked up this lightly used Rockymounts Highnoon FC Solo Bike Rack for a little less money with a few minor scratches (that I spray-painted). Really, it was almost new, the bottom of the rack closest to the ground was where it was marred so I assume someone with a lower vehicle returned this. I'm including tons of photos of it mounted with and without the bike, tilted with hatch open plus various close-ups with the hook mounted close to and further from the fork (further from the fork being useful for bikes with fenders). I drove it briefly both ways and didn't notice much movement either way, but it did seem more solid with the hook mounted closer the fork. So yeah, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I returned a Thule rack that wasn't weight-rated to my e-bike (should've done more research) and paid less for the used Rockymounts rack (even with the restocking fee!). If I need to carry another bike, I can order the Highnoon Add-On for another $200. It looks to be as simple a build as this one was. Easy-to-understand directions, good quality materials, like powder-coated steel and study plastic. The rubber straps remind me of Snowmobile hood straps which are quite durable. I don't think that I'll even cut them, just wrap and tuck under, nice grab-nubs on the ends. Anyways they're available in the Rockymounts site for a reasonable price as are all the parts if they need replacement. All hardware was thankfully included (tools even). I think it looks very sharp on my Crosstrek. Oh, it doesn't block my plate when folded up which I'm happy about (add-ons would change that).
So stoked about the Rockymounts Highnoon FC Solo.
I got this for expandability, low profile so I can lower my tailgate with it on, and compatibility with e-bikes with fenders. Assembly was pretty quick and easy. Only issue is that your front fenders cannot come down to low to the ground - the front wheel stop will interfere.
Love this bike rack. Instructions were easy to follow, and it is easy to mount my e-bike. Like the fact that the rack when empty is lower that the lift gate of my suv.
The rack works really well, and I even have an awkward bike because it is actually an adult scooter retrofitted for urban mushing. Finding a rack has been really difficult, but this one is perfect! The assembly directions are really poorly written though. I found an assembly video online that helped tremendously. Great bike rack, and easy service with etrailer.
A well engineered product. The assembly instructions could have been better.
