Great product. Worked as advertised . Used to be able to take 4 wheeler and bike. etrailer did a great job helping me find an item that would work for my application 10 out of 10 on etrailer. Thanks Vanessa

This rack is great. I've traveled about 2,500 miles with the bike loaded up and it has been rock solid. Well designed. I bring a little folding step ladder with me that I use to load/unload the bike. When I'm not using the rack, it lays down nicely and you never even know it's up there. Highly recommended product.
by: Fran J.07/05/2018
Good sturdy unit. Bought two. Held my 29er and road bike great for a 4-hour haul. Easy to install and put together. Don't even know it's on the roof since it makes no noticeable noise at any speed.
(Hint) I bought a collapsible step stool in case I needed help from a shorter person to put the bike up on the roof. So far no help needed since the "v" helps keep the bike in place as the straps are buckled.
Installed on a 2018 Kia Sorento.

The RockyMounts Tomahawk bike-rack is a high quality aluminum frame, which will last years to come. And it's universal fit makes it easy to mount on any roof rack! My bike has big Bontrager tires which fit pretty well on the carrier. It took 15 minutes to assemble, but the instructions were not very clear. A [online] video was better help! I haven't used it on a trip yet, but so far so good!

It has been a year since owning the TomaHawk Bike Rack & I couldnt be happier! No problems so far & I have taken it on at least 20 trips across ontario. Very good quality & has not put a single scratch on my bike... 5 stars!!
by: Super Z10/20/2020
This is my first Rockymount product, and they have won me over. This was well-designed and secures bicycles very well, despite the broad selection of wheel accomodations. In the future, I will not even look at the other two major bike rack makers. I really like how it requires common bicycle tools to disassemble, which makes me think it is more secure than all the other racks I own that have wingnuts everywhere.

A year in, so far so good. Its sturdy, and the rack is easy to take on and off. Etrailers great.
by: Heath R.05/11/2020
Super easy install, I was a bit doubtful of being able to fit clamping arm around my front tire due to my rack, but was able to do it no problem. The rack is steady, both on car and bike holding ability. I would recommend for anyone!
by: Anthony 03/01/2023
I've had the entire 3 bike rack for about 4 years now and it is great. I use it at least once a week and have had no problems. It is heavy with the 3rd rack on, it's difficult for my wife and son to use with the 3. I take the third rack on and off frequently as I need it, and I switch the whole rack from car to car often as needed as well and don't mind it at all. The weight is the only potential draw back, its a great value for what you get.
by: Raymond05/28/2016
This was just what I needed.
First of all this bike rack is not mounted on an auto roof rack. I have a motor home and us a swivel wheel trailer to carry a motorcycle; the platform is 5 ft long and 8 ft wide I needed some way to also carry a Mongoose fat bike, the method of carry had to be stable, so as not to crash in to the motorcycle and secure so as not to be stolen, but easy for me to use the bike any time I wanted to. This bike rack filled the bill just right. It is strong, holds the fat bike perfectly and secure from theft, and I can get the bike off and on with little effort. The lock cores work great and are worth the extra cash.
Love this thing and recommend it to anyone.
Sorry but I have no way to add pictures.

Nice carrier, easy to assemble and install, works with fat tire bike without having to purchase extra parts
by: lizshawm10/04/2019
PROS: easy to install, easy to use, keeps bike secure on top of vehicle, good price
CONS: does not have a lock, getting your bike on and off the top of your vehicle is NOT easy (not a product issue, but something to consider when choosing a top rack or hitch.. I need to carry as many bikes as possible so I have to use the roof, too! all the light weight racing bikes go on top for sure!)

after a year, the product still works as when new.. no issues.
by: Maksim08/25/2022
Very nice roof bike rack carrier. Went on 600ml round trip to the mountains with my fat tire bike. No issues at all. Very stable and secured.
by: Rafael01/26/2018
Exactly what I needed for transporting my Fat Bike, thought I would need to install a hitch mount and buy a new bike carrier but after seeing the product in use vía etrailer’s on line video I was ready to take a chance and glad I did, works great on my Thule roof rack cross bars, allowing for secure transport. An additional plus was the quick delivery and the great customer service - thank you!
by: Rob Info11/15/2018
Pros: functions well, easy to use, holds a fat bike, great value.
Cons: I had to loosen the pressure on the arm, it was a bit too hard to move. The rack is noisy in a couple of ways. The "offset" rear mount allows the rack to flex sideways an it rattles against the cross bar, I stuffed some strips from an old tube underneath to quiet it. The handle is somewhat loose on the upright bar, so it allows some rocking when loaded, which causes clunking.
Double straps for fat tires is a little fussy, but it works and is simple. This in minor, but the rack sticks out way far in front of the forward crossbar, it almost looks like it's on backwards.
by: John10/20/2020
The Tomahawk racks are well made and easy to assemble and use. Used two of the racks as basis for a truck bed bike carrier. Mimicked a roof rack mount in the bed of the truck using conduit and metal angle brace. System is sturdy and easily slid into and out of the truck bed. Folds flat and can be hung on garage wall for storage.
by: Derek C.04/25/2017
Fast delivery, easy to install, easy to use with bike also! Money well spent!
by: Blain08/29/2018
Good rack with solid hold for mountain and road bikes. Haven't tried with fat bikes yet. Locking operation is quick. Mounting and dismounting takes more time than I'd like, but for the price the Tomahawk is hard to beat.
by: Kcw05/29/2020
I have enjoyed using the rack to transport my bike to different locations to ride and to have maintenance completed. I also recently used the rack to pick up a new bike for my husband from a sporting goods store. I like that I do not have to remove the wheels from the bike when transporting. I have the bike rack of my Scion FRS. It is a good quality rack.
by: Joseph 06/23/2020
The Rockymount bike rack is a great bike rack and I am very happy with Etrailers service, delivery and communication. I would definitely shop with etrailer again.
by: Wayne J04/12/2019
Good product, arm was to tight the to move. had the bike to fall onto car! I was able to loss the clamp and now works good!
by: Andy C.10/01/2017
Well constructed, super easy to mount, and holds my fatty like she deserves to be.

The rack still works great. I use it several times a week and it is holding up very well. Functioning like new. Very satisfied. I use it for both my fat bike and my 29” full suspension trail bike with 2.35” tires. All I have to do to convert is addremove the strap extensions.
by: Samuel 01/29/2021
At my door in a matter of days and installed and mounted in less than 30 minutes. GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT PRODUCTS!
by: Leslie A Lees11/10/2016
The product is as it was described, but a little tricky to assemble for a novice like myself. It is a sturdy piece of equipment and I'm looking forward to using it this week end !

- Will the Thule OutWay 2 Fit on a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8?Both RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount # RKY1222 and the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BK1910-AB come with all the hardware you need attach your bikes. As far as transporting kayaks, you will attach the kayaks to the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount # 298-SX6000B. For a compatible kayak carrier, I recommend the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04074. The SweetRoll will allow you to...
view full answer... - Bike/Kayak Rack System For Ultra Groove Tonneau CoverSince you already have the awesome Ultra Groove Tonneau Cover on your 2020 Silverado, I would suggest getting the ladder rack # 311-ELF0301 made for your cover # 311-KMFA19A45. This way you can have the kayaks sit over your cab so you don't have to have them hang off the back. If you did have them hanging off the back you would need to insert a load extender # Y01149 on the back. This rack will sit 24.5 inches above your bed rails and the crossbars will be great for using a kayak carrier...

This holds one so get one for each bike! Both carriers just clamp around your crossbars to install, super simple!

Typically OEM roof racks will get the job done, but going with a brand like Thule or Yakima will last much longer due to the quality of the work. With that being said, the most cost effective roof rack that we currently have to offer for your Impreza is the Inno square bar roof rack which consists of the Crossbars # INB127, Inno...

I confirmed with Thule that since the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302043 is created with the entire platform 1500603220, they unfortunately do not sell the platform with larger tire cradles for fat bike tires. With that being said, you can mount a fat-bike bike rack on a crossbar system on your roof like the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On # RKY1222. Using this method requires a compatible roof rack with your vehicle. In...

view full answer... - What Temporary Bike Rack do You Recommend for Me to Use on Multiple Rental Cars?I have a temporary bike-mounting solution for you. Since we have not tested two Seasucker Hornets # 298-BH1302 on a back window of a vehicle, we cannot confirm for sure if the weight of the combined bikes on the windows will damage/crack the windows. Also, I advise against it for the sole reason that any bump or added torque on the back of your vehicle can exponentially increase the weight on the windows (which may lead to a greater potential for cracking). With that being said, I recommend...

However, you aren't able to use the Yakima DoubleDown Ace on your 2017 Toyota Prius Prime to carry four bikes. The hitch receivers for your vehicle, like the Draw-Tite # 24966, are Class I receivers and the DoubleDown Ace fits Class II and Class III receivers. In addition to that a Class I hitch is only able to carry up to 2 bikes. Instead to carry 4 bikes on your car I recommend using a hitch mount bike rack like the Swagman Titan, part # S63400, to carry...

It looks like your bike is actually too big for this application and the Yakima ForkChop Y02117 is prying on the Rola Sport GTX Series Roof Rack 59967 which is causing your mounting issues. For your bike to fit properly on the ForkChop you need to make sure that the wheelbase of your bike is within (plus or minus) 10" of your crossbar spread.

- Compatibility of Two Roof Mounted Bike Racks with Cargo Carrier on 2019 Subaru ImprezaThe Thule Sidekick cargo box # TH78GC is 25 inches wide. The RockyMounts Tomahawk # RKY1222 is 12 inches wide, but the ratcheting arm can be on the outside for clearance. Based on the 33 inch long bars you referenced you will only be able to use one bike rack with the Sidekick. You may be able to use two Tomahawks with the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 58" Long x 23" Wide - 165 lbs # Y07014 or # Y07014-16 but that will still be a tight fit even with the ratcheting...

view full answer... - How to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2012 Toyota Prius vYes, a Class I trailer hitch receiver for your 2012 Toyota Prius v, like the Draw-Tite # 24847 is only rated to carry up to 2 bikes. This is because the distance a 4-bike rack extends from the vehicle causes too much stress on the vehicle from the movement of the rack. To carry 4 bikes on your Prius v you'll need to get a little creative such as using a hitch mounted rack on the back of the vehicle along with a roof rack on top.

The total weight of the bikes plus the racks plus the roof rack system is going to determine the actual number of bikes you can carry. According to my research, the 2013 Toyota RAV4 has a rated roof capacity of 101.2lbs. You should always confirm this number before employing the roof rack on your vehicle by checking in your owner's manual.
