Specs:
With its unique, rubber-coated stainless steel front straps, the RockyMounts TieRod bicycle carrier boasts the ability to fit nearly all crossbars, whether they are round, square, aero/elliptical or factory.
The TieRod is easy to install and provides a seamless look on most factory and aftermarket roof-rack crossbars. Simply wrap the rubber-coated stainless steel straps on the rack's head around the crossbar and tighten the tensioner to take out the slack, ensuring a secure and strong hold. To attach the rear of the rack, slide the steel bracket into the channel on the bottom of the wheel tray. Align the low-profile steel clamp underneath the crossbar and tighten it to the bracket with the included Allen bolts.
The TieRod has a ratcheting rear wheel strap that slides along the rack's wheel tray to adjust to different bike lengths, ensuring that your bike is completely fastened down.
This carrier's heavy-duty fork mount is designed to fit bikes with quick-release front wheels. Its disc brake cutout ensures that it fits both disc and standard brake systems. The standard-size (9-mm), quick-release skewer firmly grips your bike's front fork. The TieRod can be adapted to carry bikes with thru axles by using the DriveShaft fork adapter (RKY1081 - sold separately).
Deter the theft of your RockyMounts TieRod and your mounted bicycle with RockyMounts lock cores (sold separately). The cores are keyed alike and allow you to lock the bike to the rack and the rack to your roof-rack crossbars using 2 cores. Lock cores are available in convenient packs of 2, 4, 6 and 8, allowing you to lock all your RockyMounts racks with the same key.

The TieRod is the universal rooftop bike rack for bikes with quick-release front wheels. It fits all styles of vehicle crossbars, carries mountain and road bikes with either disc or standard brakes, and features a sleek design and lockable release.This is an amazing, low profile roof rack. It is extremely quick and easy to load and unload your bike on this rack. You can tighten down the fork cam from one side, which, in my experience, makes it far easier to operate than roof bike racks that require adjustments on both sides of the fork mount. Just spin until tight, lock the cam down and, bam, the fork is secure. I also like the little metal nub that can be rotated around the top of the fork to help keep the bike secure in the event that cam lock fails. Gives me peace of mind. This rack also works great for both my road bike and my mountain bike.
After a little delay in getting the rack to my door it went on to my 2016 Outback without much fuss. The biggest problem was compressing the bottom lock core tab so it would fit in the front cover location and then locking the cover once installed. Once I used a thin blade to hold it in, it fit enough to be inserted. I am able to fully open the rear hatch with the rack installed.
I wish the rear clamp included rubber pads to help conform to the curved factory roof rack. And to prevent the metal on metal contact for the top half. I made my own spacer to prevent any damage.
Installation instructions could be improved.
Great rack, high quality materials!
Fits my Impreza perfectly.
easy install. great price.
First one took 5 minutes and the second one took 3 minutes.
Just can't see spending the extra money on Thule or a Yakima.
Just as good if not better.
This product is completely functional and the price is right. The engineering and manufacturing are not quite up to Yakima or Thule standards. I'm happy with the purchase.
This item is fine, they tend to rust after months of exposure however
Fantastic Product, Perfect fit, its been 4 days and i have no complaints.. Nice and sturdy, no whistling wind noise when your on the road...
High quality mount. Every component feels rock solid. Streamlined look is a plus.
Same review
Holds tight to elliptical factory crossbars. Was able to attach bike to roof with the crossbars that came on my 1999 Forester.
I like the bike rack; however, I have yet to use it! It appears to be well made and quite functional! I found the instructions difficult to read, as they were faded and hard to see!
Great product, easy to install, functions well and looks great.
Installed on 2017 Subaru Outback. 30 minutes installation for two racks.
Has seen weekly use and functions great, would recommend.
Products showed up on time and look great. Quality at a low price. I have purchased several products from etrailer and they always deliver a great value and quality products
Great product and fast delivery. Easy to install. I have ordered several items from etrailer over the past 4 or 5 years and everything has arrived as advertised. Very satisfied!

Still hauling my bike after a year with the rack. I will occasionally lube the internals of the locking mechanism to make sure it functions as new.
