    Description

    The AfterParty is our second generation swing away platform hitch rack.

    While updating and applying the base from the BackStage with the innovative platform from the GuideRail, the afterparty is the ideal rack for Vans, Trucks, or SUVs where access to the rear end of the vehicle is needed. By utilizing dual load arms, the rack completely eliminates frame or fork contact, it allows for asymmetric bike loading to avoid handlebar interference, and it creates a simple aesthetic that virtually blends in with most vehicles. Carrying bikes up to 60lbs per tray, tires up to 3” wide, and wheelbases up to 55” the AfterParty can handle just about anything including most E-bikes. Included is a 10mm square link chain to secure your bikes without stress.

    • Can swing out a full 180* from the rear of the vehicle to allow for complete access to the back end
    • Carries 2 bikes, up to 60 lbs per tray (120 lbs total). Not expandable, or compatible with the GuideRail Add-On

    Great rack!

    Should have bought this years ago. Assembly was easy. Removing and installing from hitch is a breeze. Loading and unloading the bikes is easy as pie. Love the ease of securing the bikes in the rail. The swing away to have access to the truck bed is brilliant. The fact that it came with a great security chain is a definite plus. I feel at ease when grabbing a bite after a ride knowing the bikes will still be there when we finish eating. The bikes do not wobble when traveling and the rack is solid, no squeaks or rattles. Well worth the price IMO.

    Best bike rack I've owned

    This is the 3rd rack I've had in the last 10 years. I've changed racks due to differences in vehicles. I really like the way this rack holds the bikes in place and that it can be adjusted for the different wheel sizes. It also feels like the strongest rack I've had which is important in carrying my new ebike. I'm anxiously awaiting the ramp that I've been told is coming.

    solid construction

    The Rocky Mount Afterparty Swing Away rack works great. It is as advertised. We have it on our F-150. The tailgate doesn't open all the way with the rack tilted out - but the swing-away provides full access. We are very happy with the rack.

    After Party rack

    Great well built rack that is easy to operate.
    Wish you made an adapter kit so it could handle 4” wide tires.
