Expert Reply:
The RockyMounts HighNoon FC # RKY74MR and MonoRail # RKY10004-10005 are very similar, but do have a few differences. The HighNoon has a 45lb per bike capacity when hauling three bikes or 60lb per bike capacity when hauling only two bikes. The MonoRail only has a 45lb per bike capacity regardless of how many bikes you use.
Both options can can handle up to a 5" wide tire but the HighNoon has a slightly larger maximum wheelbase at 52", versus the MonoRail's 48" maximum. The HighNoon also includes straps on the ratcheting hooks to give you a bit more security. The MonoRail is slightly heavier as well at 63lbs versus the HighNoon's 53lbs.
The differences make me lean towards the HighNoon, but a few of the guys in the shop here have the single and double versions of the MonoRail and love them so either way you'll be getting a good rack. I've attached a couple of review videos AJ made for these racks so you can get a better look at them in use.
