The RockyMounts SplitRail LS platform-style bike rack lets you carry 2 bikes using your vehicle's 2" hitch. It is designed to carry bicycles of varying sizes and styles. The bike trays adjust to optimize bike spacing and reduce bike-to-bike contact. The ratcheting arms and wheel straps secure your bikes by the wheels so there's no frame contact. The front-mounted release lever allows the rack to easily tilt down with bikes loaded for easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area and fold up when not in use. Finally, the rack includes integrated cable locks to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking hitch pin for securing the rack to your vehicle.
Wheel-Mount Design for Easy Bike Loading
The Rack allows you to quickly and easily load and carry 2 bicycles on the back of your vehicle. The ratcheting arms securely hold your bikes by the front wheels so there's no frame contact. Simply push the button on the hook and slide it firmly into place over your front wheel.
Sliding Rear-Wheel Straps
The sliding rear-wheel straps allow the rack to accommodate bikes with wheelbases up to 48" long. The ratcheting, rubber straps hold your bikes' rear wheels securely in place on the tray and fit tires up to 3" wide.
Adjustable Bike Tray
The front and back trays adjust 4" side-to-side to ensure you have enough space when loading your bikes. Just remove the 4 bolts where the tray attaches to the top of the rack, slide the trays left or right to achieve the desired spacing, and then re-install the bolts. This will prevent your bikes' handlebars from becoming tangled, and it eliminates the fear of bike-to-bike contact during transportation.
Front-Mounted Release Lever for Easy Tilting
The front-mounted release lever allows one person to easily tilt the RockyMounts SplitRail. The rack tilts down with or without bikes loaded for convenient access to your vehicle's rear cargo area.
The lever also lets you fold the rack up for storage when you're not transporting a bike. This is great for parking in places where space is limited such as a parking garage
Easy Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The RockyMounts SplitRail installs quickly and easily into your 2" hitch receiver. Insert the shank into your vehicle's hitch receiver, then install the hitch pin and tighten it down. As the pin tightens, it engages the 3-axis anti-wobble bolt inside the shank. This system will reduce noise and movement while the rack is installed.
Security Features
The rack comes with integrated cable locks to secure your bikes against theft. The cables extended from the ends of the wheel hooks and wrap around your bikes' frames to lock them to the rack
The hitch pin also comes with a hitch lock to help prevent the rack from being removed from your vehicle.
Convenient Wall Mount Storage Hook
An included mounting hook bolts to a secure attachment point so you can hang the rack when not in use. Simply remove the rack from your vehicle, reinstall the hitch pin and then set the shank in the middle of the bracket, inserting the hitch pin into the bracket's cradles.
When mounting the storage hook use a pair of 5/16" x 3" lag bolts (sold separately). Select a sturdy location, such as a wall stud, and make sure the location is at least 36" off the ground so the rack can hang unobstructed.
Optional 1-Bike Add-On for 3 or 4 Bike Carrying Capacity
There is an optional 1-bike add-on available (RKY1150 - sold separately) for the RockyMounts SplitRail that will allow you to convert it from a 2-bike carrier to a 3- or 4-bike carrier.

The Rocky Mount split rail bike rack was everything I had researched and expected. Easy to put together, easy to attach to car hitch, and easy to load up our bikes. Also, easy to store when not using. Quality bike rack and highly recommend for bikes with carbon frames. 704199
Comments
After a year, I still love the bike mount! Have travelled many miles with it on the back and it has kept our bikes safe. Love how it stores hanging on the garage wall when not in use to save space.

Rocky Mounts Splitrail is a great rack with many features. The front wheel arms fit many wheel sizes, the folding mechanism still works great after a full year. The only part that is odd is the rear wheel tray. Road bike wheels and kids bike wheels aren't thick enough to make tight contact with the strap. Although I have never had anything close to a problem with the rear tray, it is still not a tight as I would prefer. Mtb wheels are held just fine because they are thicker. The locks that come with the rack are good, but the cable is little short. Good in a pinch, but if you really want to lock your bike, bring an extra cable. 913859

I had this rack for almost a year and all I can say it is awesome.Quality of a more expensive rack but in reach of affordiability. Visibility is awesome, and the build is excellent. The looks I get when I'm on the Highway from a Yamika, Saris, or Thule owner are priceless. I can't wait till my Kids learn how to ride without training wheels family trips will be in full effect. 905581

Used the bike rack for the first time this weekend on a 1000 mile round trip to VA. The rack held the bikes as expected, it is extremely easy to load and unload and I like the built in locks for each bike for extra security. Great product! 830106

Product was extremely easy to set up and install. Have only used it once (received yesterday), but bikes are solid on it. No play from the rack in the hitch receiver which is nice for those washboard roads. Recommend for anyone on the fence. 814711

Awesome rack. I love the levered handle release. Super sturdy and easy to use. While a bit on the hefty side, it's manageable. I added a 3rd row, which was easy, but decreased access to the release handle a bit. adding a 4th row would probably make handle access quite difficult. It is likely that the factory 3 and 4 row would avoid that. The provided lock is pretty flimsy. It's designed to keep honest people honest. So I just add some additional locks when I think it's necessary. But let's be honest. A power saw is going to make just about any bike on any rack accessible to someone who wants the bike(s), so there really is a limit in how far it is practical to go with any rack lock. Anyway, a great rack and would definitely buy again. We also have the other Rocky-Mounts rack, the MonoRail, and its a great rack also. 803668

Awesome rack all around, very high quality feel and everything just works great. I actually bought this rack (new LS model) after seeing a review for the original SplitRail, primarily because it had a “quick-release” (non-threaded) hitch pin with an anti-rattle tension knob on the outer end of the center tube. The LS apparently went back to a threaded hitch-pin design, I’m assuming because they bent the center tube up for more ground clearance. Turns out the threaded hitch pin device is SOLID (I didn’t know how much I’d appreciate that, it’s like an extension of your vehicle) and takes 10 seconds with the included wrench (I use a $5 ratcheting box wrench and it takes 5 seconds). I have an inclined driveway where the previous rack would scrape the ground, the bend in the tube now gives me 3-4” of clearance, so probably a worthwhile tradeoff. We previously had (and loved) Yakima High Rollers on the roof of our Subaru Outback, but we moved to a RAV4 and the wife wasn’t able to load bikes herself, she is thrilled with the ease of loading on these trays. The big wide aluminum trays are very forgiving compared to the narrow steel versions where wheels can fall between trays. I was a little concerned about losing the ratcheting rear wheel straps I was used to on the High Rollers, but honestly the simple cinch straps on the SplitRail are solid and effortless, saving a few seconds of ratcheting per bike. The bikes never even wiggle (with 1.9, 2.1, and 2.35 tires so far) Aesthetically, it’s just the right blend of industrial and curvy, holes in the right places where “self cleaning” comes to mind, and the blue accents are just right... especially folded up. There are extra bolt holes in the trays if you need to offset so handlebars don’t hit seats etc, but wasn’t necessary for us. Her bike seems solid just sliding the wheel brace down until it touches, mine wiggled a bit until I compressed into the tire another click or two, just snug. Helps to compress again when releasing the slide-ratchet, which is otherwise very easy and ergonomic. I actually just lay my palm on the tire hook and pull against the fork arch for that extra click (and when releasing) without even thinking about it now. Integrated locks are pretty cool and a nice touch when grabbing a burger or a beer on the way home (always seem to forget mine at home). And for those considering the rear two-prong “hanger” style racks, which are typically half the price, I have to say going to a tray is worth the price difference EVERY TIME you load. No more fighting suspension or bending cables or bikes rubbing together, or taking three bikes off to get to the inside one when plans change. Not to mention expensive rubber straps aging and cracking. I fought one for years and I’m still kicking myself. 730826

This product works perfectly to hold two e-bikes. Assembly was easy and all parts and tools to assemble were included. The no-wobble hitch pin with lock is fantastic. etrailer’s price beat even the manufactures by over $100 dollars. The included bracket to store the rack helps reduce the space needed to store the rack in my garage. This is the best purchase I have made in some time. Thanks etrailer.com 726632

Ask the Experts about this RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks
- Why Are Some Bike Racks Not Rated For Use on RV or Trailer and Option for Rack on a TrailerThat's a good question and while we have bike racks that can be used on a trailer, you hit the mark when you mentioned "bounce" as the reason that some bike racks like the RockyMounts SplitRail LS # RKY11404 are not rated for use behind an RV or trailer. The bike rack manufacturer decided this particular rack is in more danger of potential damage on a trailer because there is significantly more movement at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer or camper than there is at the rear of a passenger...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Bike Rack with RockyMounts SplitRail 2 Bike Platform RackThe RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting # RKY11404 you asked from does have the ability to expand for more bikes when you use the 1 Bike Add-On # RKY1150. You can add up to 2 add ons for a total of 4 bikes. You cannot add any other bike rack to the SplitRail. You can only use the SplitRail 1 bike add on to expand this rack.
view full answer... - How to Ensure that RockyMounts SplitRail # RKY11404 would Allow Truck Tailgate to Fold DownIt would depend on the vehicle but most likely not since the RockyMounts SplitRail # RKY11404 does have a solid amount of rise in the shank. I do have a great solution though with the Yakima Backswing part # Y02483 which will swing the entire rack out and away from the rear of the vehicle to give you complete access to the rear of the truck.
view full answer... - Bike Rack For Heavy E-Bikes With Ramp For Easy LoadingThe RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY11404 is a good option for E-bikes because of it's 60 lb per bike weight capacity and E-bikes have a tendency to be heavier. However, it does not have a ramp so it can be more difficult to get the bikes on the rack like you mention. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-bike part # TH903202 for the e-bikes it comes with a folding aluminum ramp that will allow your wife to roll her bike on and off the rack without lifting the...

I asked a representative of RockyMounts about how to replace this lock and was told that you will only need to undo a set screw and they include a Torx wrench with the lock so you can easily accomplish this.
view full answer... - Is The RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack Capable of 3-Axis Anti Wobble?Yes. The RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 uses the 3-axis anti wobble by installing the locking hitch pin and anti-wobble bolt. To engage the 3 axis anti-wobble, you'll insert the included hitch pin from the passenger side of the receiver and then tighten down the pin to engage the 3-axis anti-wobble system inside the shank. The SplitRail LS is designed for use on 2" hitch receivers. I've linked a brief review video on the SplitRail LS for you to have a look at...

The issue is the ride at the rear of a trailer and it being too rough for most bikes rack. The rough ride would still hold true if using a frame mount hitch with lighter bikes as well. That said, I do have a great alternative option for you in the Swagman Escapee 2 Bike Platform Rack part # S64693 which...
view full answer... - Differences Between Rockymounts Splitrail LS and SplitRailThe RockyMounts Splitrail LS part # RKY11404 is the updated version of the Splitrail part # RKY1140 that you also referenced. The racks still look very similar but the big change is an updated anti-rattle device that does a much better job removing movement from the rack while travelling. The base is also improved to allow better ground clearance.

Check out the picture I attached that shows the hatch opening. This rack is really great too because it only touches the tires of the bike which means no contact with the bikes frame or finish.

- Which Allows More Clearance for Opening Tailgate Thule T2 or RockyMounts SplitRailThe RockyMounts Split Rail part # RKY11404 has a larger distance between the hitch pin of the rack and the nearest wheel rail at 10-1/4 inches when compared to the Thule T2 part # TH9034XT which has this distance at 7 inches. If that dimension is the most important factor for you the RockyMounts will be the better rack. The SplitRail is also a bit lighter at 44 lbs compared to the Thule which is 52. I did attach review videos for both rack for you to check out for further comparison.

The change you might be referring to was made from the original Splitrail to the Splitrail LS, where the shank was raised to help provide a bit more ground clearance when used on cars and small SUVs like your 2015 Mazda CX-5. With that said, our videos and the owner's manual is for the newest version of this rack. Any obstruction that occurs of...

- Overall Length and Ground Clearance Estimate for the RockyMounts Split Rail Bike RackI will be happy to get you the measurements you are looking for. The RockyMounts Split Rail bike rack # RKY11404 measures 32-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the bike rack when folded down to load bikes. Ground clearance will depend on the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver opening so if you take that measurement on your vehicle and then add another 5 inches that is the approximate location of the bottom of the spine that holds the rails...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Platform Bike Rack for Bikes with FendersThe RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 is not a good option for bikes with fenders over the front wheels. The hooks need to fit tight to the bike and fenders can get in the way or get damaged. What I recommend is the Malone Pilot # MPG2112 for 2 inch hitches or # MPG2109 for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches. This rack also has hooks but they can be placed at the tires like the SplitRail or they can hold the bike at the frame. This is a great option if one bike has...

view full answer... - Where to Attach the Curt Stabilizer Strap to the RockyMounts Split Rail Bike RackAttaching the Curt stabilization strap # 18050 to a bike rack like the SplitRail # RKY11404 is a little tricky since there isn't a center mast. As long as the strap is attached at all you will be in compliance with the hitch warranty requirements though. I recommend attach it as best as you can to the nearest hooked arm or you might be able to loop it around the shank. As long as it is attached in some manner to the rack and to the vehicle you will be within the warranty requirements.
