The RockyMounts AfterParty is a highly versatile second-generation swing-away platform hitch rack designed for vans, trucks, and SUVs, offering unparalleled access to the rear of your vehicle without having to remove the bikes. Building on the strong foundations of the BackStage and combining it with the innovative platform from the GuideRail, the AfterParty provides a perfect balance of functionality, durability, and ease of use.

A defining feature of the AfterParty is its ability to swing out a full 180 degrees, giving complete access to the back of your vehicle, whether for loading cargo, accessing gear, or getting into the rear compartment. This makes it an ideal solution for those who need unhindered access to the rear of their vehicles, particularly with larger vehicles like vans and SUVs.

The AfterParty employs dual load arms, which securely hold the bike by the tires, ensuring no contact with the frame or fork. This design eliminates any risk of damage to the bike’s frame or paint, making it especially suitable for high-end bikes, carbon frames, and delicate finishes. Additionally, the asymmetric loading allows for bikes to be positioned in such a way that handlebar interference is avoided, enhancing the ease of use when transporting multiple bikes.

The rack is built for strength and reliability, capable of carrying 2 bikes with a maximum load of 60 lbs per tray (120 lbs total), making it perfect for a wide range of bikes, including e-bikes. It accommodates tires from 19mm road tires to 3.0” wide mountain bike tires, with wheel diameters ranging from 20” to 29” and wheelbases from 36” to 55”. However, it is not expandable and is not compatible with the GuideRail Add-On.

For convenience, the AfterParty can also fold flat against the vehicle when not in use, and tilt down by 30 degrees to provide hatch access without needing to swing the rack away entirely. This flexibility makes it convenient for day-to-day use, even if you don’t need full rear access.

The rack features RockyMounts' premium 3-axis anti-wobble system, ensuring a secure and stable fit on the hitch, even during rough drives. For added security, it comes with a 10mm square link chain, providing best-in-class protection for your bikes while on the road.

The AfterParty is designed for 2” hitch receivers only and is not compatible with fender-equipped bikes, as the design relies on tire contact for securement. With a robust build, the rack weighs 70 lbs (shipping weight of 83 lbs), ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
