RockyMounts AfterParty 2" Swing-Away Platform Hitch Rack


Description

The RockyMounts AfterParty is a premium 2-inch hitch-mounted, swing-away platform bike rack engineered for drivers who demand full access to the back of their vehicle without compromising their gear. Designed to carry two bikes up to 60 lbs each, it secures bikes by the tires only - no frame contact, no fork contact, no scratches. The AfterParty swings a full 180 degrees out of the way, letting you open a tailgate, access a truck bed, or grab gear from the back without unloading a single bike.

Built for real-world use on gravel backroads, highway road trips, and everything in between, the AfterParty delivers unwavering stability thanks to its 3-axis anti-wobble hitch system and dual load arms. When you're not riding, it folds flat against the vehicle for a clean, compact profile. Whether you're running eBikes, mountain bikes, road bikes, or gravel rigs, this rack handles it all with confidence.


Key Features

  • 180-Degree Swing-Away: Swings fully out of the way for complete rear vehicle access - tailgate, truck bed, or cargo area - without unloading your bikes.
  • Tire-Only Contact: Dual load arms secure bikes by the tires only, protecting frames and forks from scratches or pressure damage.
  • eBike Rated: Supports up to 60 lbs per bike (120 lbs total), making it compatible with heavy eBikes and full-suspension mountain bikes.
  • 3-Axis Anti-Wobble Hitch System: Precision receiver engagement minimizes movement at the hitch for a quieter, rattle-free ride.
  • 30-Degree Tilt-Down: Tilts down when you need rear hatch access without fully swinging the rack - convenient for quick grabs on the road.
  • Folds Flat When Not in Use: Collapses neatly against the vehicle between trips for a clean, low-profile look and improved number plate visibility.
  • Wide Wheel Compatibility: Fits tires from 19mm up to 3.0 inches wide and wheel diameters from 20 to 29 inches - road, MTB, gravel, and fat-tire bikes all welcome.
  • Integrated Security: Comes with a 10mm square link chain and locking hitch bolt to secure bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle.
  • Asymmetric Bike Loading: Bikes can be loaded offset from each other to prevent handlebar interference - no more fighting for clearance.
  • Compatible with Vans, Trucks, and SUVs: Works with any vehicle equipped with a standard 2-inch hitch receiver. Cargo van users should verify fit; an 8-inch hitch extension may be needed.
  • Lifetime Warranty: Backed by RockyMounts' lifetime warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Manuals & Guides


FAQ

Does the AfterParty work with a 1.25" hitch receiver?

No - the AfterParty is compatible with 2-inch hitch receivers only. If your vehicle has a 1.25-inch receiver, you would need a hitch adapter or a different RockyMounts model such as the MonoRail, which offers broader hitch compatibility. Be sure to measure your receiver before ordering.

Can I carry eBikes on the AfterParty?

Yes! The AfterParty is eBike rated, supporting up to 60 lbs per bike slot (120 lbs total for two bikes). This makes it one of the more capable hitch racks on the market for carrying heavy full-suspension mountain bikes and eBikes.

Can I still access my truck bed or hatch with bikes loaded on the rack?

Absolutely - that's the whole point of the AfterParty's swing-away design. The rack swings a full 180 degrees out of the way, giving you complete rear access to your vehicle with bikes fully loaded. It also tilts down 30 degrees for quicker hatch access when you don't need the full swing.

Will the AfterParty fit on my cargo van?

It may, but a fit check is recommended. Depending on your van's hitch placement and the handlebar width of your bikes, an 8-inch hitch extension may be required for proper clearance. RockyMounts recommends verifying compatibility before purchasing if you're using a cargo van.

Can I expand the AfterParty to carry a third bike?

No - the AfterParty is not compatible with any Add-Ons, including the GuideRail Add-On. It is designed exclusively as a 2-bike carrier. If you need to carry three bikes, consider a different model in the RockyMounts lineup.

Does the AfterParty work with bikes that have fenders?

The AfterParty is not officially compatible with fender-equipped bikes. The tire-hold arm system may not work properly with fenders, and a foam pad workaround is not guaranteed. If you frequently ride fender-equipped bikes, check with RockyMounts support for guidance before purchasing.

Is the rack secure against theft?

Yes - the AfterParty ships with an integrated 10mm square link chain to lock bikes to the rack, plus a locking hitch bolt and keys to secure the rack to your vehicle. Tamper-resistant hardware and reinforced engagement points add an additional layer of theft deterrence at trailheads and rest stops.
