Why this product

Why the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles?

A no-contact roof carrier that holds the bike by the wheels โ€” safe for carbon frames, thru-axle compatible, no adapters needed for most modern bikes. At 20 lbs it is slightly heavier than competitors like the Thule UpRide, but the build quality is solid. Integrated locks for bike and rack, 44 lb limit for standard bikes. I recommend this as the RockyMounts alternative for riders who prefer their mounting system or find a better price than the Thule and Yakima equivalents.
