Is The Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack Or RockyMounts MonoRail 3 Bike Rack a Better Option?
Question:
Hello, Im comparing the RockyMounts MonoRail to carry 3 bikes standard bikes and the Kuat Transfer V2. I have a 2022 Hyundai Palisade with a 2inch hitch. Im leaning towards the RockyMounts because it looks like it tilts further giving access to the trunk vs the Kuat. Do you have any insight into which may be better? Or alternatives? I really like the tray technology that supports the wheels. Ease of use is important as well. Im trying to find a reliable bike mount to use occasionally without spending $1000 on the more expensive Kuats. Thank you.

I have a couple reasons Anthony, that I feel like makes the Kuat Transfer # KU24FR much nicer to use than the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack # RKY10004-10005. With as deep as the 3 bike racks are I like on the Kuat you do not have the full length trays which allows you to get up to where the bike connects. This makes putting on and taking the bikes off so much easier especially when you have to load them all by yourself. And in my experience working with all the different companies Kuat's support and customer service is the best in my opinion. Since the manufacturer everything in the USA themselves you can still get replacement parts even after they discontinue making a bike rack. This means you would not have to get a whole new bike rack because one part broke.
