RockyMounts' TomaHawk is a roof rack mounted, upright bike carrier that lets you keep both wheels on your bike. It mounts to almost all crossbars (square, round, aero, factory) and what makes it unique is that it works nicely with all styles of bikes, including: road, mountain, cruiser, children's, and even fat bikes with up to 5-inch rubber.
RockyMounts Tomahawk features
- No bike frame contact — simply ratchet the hook over the front wheel and secure the front/rear wheelstraps
- Fat bike ready (up to 5" tyres) out of the box. Includes two wheel-strap extensions
- Swingarm easily adjusts for driver and passenger side installation
- Mounts to all styles of crossbar: round, square, factory, aero
- Holds all styles of bikes, 20–29" wheels (except those with front fenders)
- New Easy-Load wheel-straps make loading bikes easier than ever
- Optional two-pack locks to lock rack to car and bike to rack (sold separately)
- RockyMounts offers a lifetime warranty on all products
Mounted up
RockyMounts' TomaHawk makes the ease of use associated with hitch-mounted racks available to those with roof racks. The big key here is being able to leave the wheels on your bike.

The majority of roof-mounted bike racks are fork mounts, meaning you have to remove your bike's front wheel. While this isn't a huge deal, and creates a rock solid attachment, it does leave the hassle of stashing your front wheel in your vehicle, or even worse forgetting it or backing over it (not that that's ever happened to me).
Loading and unloading bikes is beautifully simple, especially since RockyMounts cleverly include a small nub to keep the wheel straps tucked out of the way. They should win a prize for this ingenuity.
