The HighNoon bike carrier is one of the very few that is compatible with bikes featuring fenders right out of the box, no more having to remove your bike fenders before transport if you want a bike rack that secures via the wheels only with no frame contact. The HighNoon FC is compatible with bikes both that have fenders and without fenders, as well as a huge range of types and sizes.
The total weight capacity of the carrier is 54kg, so in standard two bike carrier form each platform can carry a 27kg bike, making it suitable for most e-bikes. Unlike many other racks the Highnoon FC also comes with wheel strap extensions and ample room in the wheel trays to allow fat bikes to be transported with tires up 5 inches wide. It will also accommodate bikes of all types with wheel sizes ranging from 20in up to 29in and wheelbases from 96cm up to 132cm.
If you need more capacity there is also the option to expand this carrier with the HighNoon Add-On to allow you to carry three bikes. Note that the weight capacity is reduced to 20kg per bike when using the add-on.
Your bikes are secured via an arm clamp which latches onto the front wheel combined with a rear wheel strap, making it a sufficiently solid mounting for most users. This also means that unusual frames and frames with delicate finishes such as carbon can be accommodated. The platforms are also adjustable to ensure no bike to bike interference while underway.
The HighNoon FC has lock a lock included to secure the carrier to your hitch and also a heavy weight cable lock to secure your bikes to your carrier, so you can leave your bikes unattended without a worry in the world about theft. It also has an integrated steel loop to use your own cable lock if preferred.
Rear access to your vehicle is also made possible with a 30 degree tilt mechanism which is easy to use with a simple grab handle which you pull. It also folds flat against the back of your vehicle out of the way when not in use.
To ensure no wobble while you're driving Rockymounts has integrated their premium 3 axis anti wobble system so the carrier is unshaken no matter what the road conditions are like.
For a bit of extra room when negotiating steep inclines or hefty speed bumps the base of the HighNoon FC is swept up to provide a better departure angle.
Fitting the HighNoon FC is an easy task for most people, note that this model is designed for 2in class III hitch receivers and is not designed for use on a trailer. For more information on fitting please refer to the instructions.
For safety and legal compliance it's recommended to use a lightboard with your rear mounted bike carrier, the Rockymounts LED licence plate holder is a great option but you'll need the HighNoon LED lightboard bracket kit for a perfect fit, sold separately.
It's also backed by the fantastic RockyMounts lifetime warranty, so rest assured you'll have years of trouble-free use.
Please check your hitch rating and local state laws before using this carrier.
