The Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack # INRT201 can grab bike frames that are up to 1.03 inches in diameter. For mountain bikes that have wider frames you can instead attach the rack to the seat post. Or you could use a bike frame adapter bar part # UB01.

The picture I attached shows the rack grabbing a seat post.
