Why We Like The RockyMounts AfterParty 2-Bike Hitch Rack
RockyMount's AfterParty 2-Bike Hitch Rack sports a problem-solving design with a swing-away platform, allowing us to transport up to two bikes while still giving us access to the back end of our van, truck, or SUV. This rack uses RockyMount's premium 3-axis anti-wobble system for a rock-solid fit and ride, and can hold bikes asymmetrically to eliminate any handlebar interference.

Convenient, Sturdy, A lil heavy
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Bought this to take two mountain bikes around on a jeep gladiator. The rack is easy to install and use, incredibly straightforward. Fits both our bikes well (29er and 27.5 in). The bikes and rack are very secure back there, even when doing some minor off roading. Works great for camping trips as it will allow full access to the tailgate. It remains sturdy when swung away from the vehicle (minimal sway or shaking when loading and unloading bikes). Fits well in parking lots when unloaded and stored up. The only down side is the weight of the rack by itself. Can be cumbersome getting on and off the vehicle, but nothing a little weight lifting on my part can't fix.

Cool Idea Missed
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought this rack over the Kuat Piston, and One Up. Though I did by the One Up single rack for every day use. Unfortunately I chose this one for the swing out feature and the one handed lock tab. use works great however the swing mechanism is almost useless if you were using it anything other campsite camping. It’s to dang difficult to screw it back in with any weight at all on it. So if your planning on just heading out to the trail head or ride start and getting it out of the way of your tailgate regularly you can hang it up. You have to literally lay on the ground and maneuver the rack around to get the threaded screw to line up… there’s literally barely any pilot shaft on the screw to help you. Total bummer. I would trade this rack in a second for the standard guide rail. Save you money and do the same and get the guide rail. Great idea not the best implementation. Bummer is I have already owned it for over a year hoping to give some time to work it. Rocky Mounts even said that’s just kind of how it is and try to hold it slightly to the right? Maybe they should’ve made right I thought….hmmm? Keep in mind the rest of the rack is fantastic. But the guide and the Kuat swing out and you will have a much more functional setup. For about the same price though it will stick out a little further. But it will work as hoped….:)

Lightest swing away rack on the market
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Lightest swing away out there because it is in integral with the rack. Holds two ebikes well. Still need to test it with light off roading but pretty sure it will be up to the task. I also easily modified a Yakima bike ramp to hook on to it for my ebike for ease of getting it on the platform.

Amazing rack!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Amazing rack and very high quality materials used throughout (no plastic in sight and all metal contruction). The swing away feature is super easy to use even when bikes are loaded down. And the dual ratcheting arms are the best in the biz (better and much easier to use than my old 1UP USA model). I can only see one downside and that's the price. Expecting this to last through many many seasons of use.
