This is amazing , it fits on my car and my partner’s with no adjusting needed. It’s held our bikes for a journey of over 60 mile with no loss of suction or wobble in the bikes.
I can see us using this for years to come!
This rack is less than half the price of other similar brands, it works really well too and the customer service I have received from the company (specifically Jim) has been incredible. Highly recommended.
Only problem I had was one of the suctions didn’t pump the white bar in but as I was not using the two rear ones I just swapped one of the inserts and its works fine.
Only advice I can give is never drive your vehicle without checking the white bars I keep forgetting and have to pull over to check
The 3 bike rockbro rack performed well.
Stopped 4 times during our trip to make sure it didn’t lose suction, but it became overkill. The suction was secure and stable at 70mph.
One suction pump did have to be repumped, other than that, it was fine.
Make sure the area where the suckers are placed are clean a wet.
Very impressed, but make sure you buy adaptors if your bike has a thru Axel however, the size selections are confusing, and didn’t get the adaptor that comes with package.
I would make one recommendation for peace of mind whilst driving, so you wouldn’t need to stop and check.
I bought cheaper ones from eBay and they didn’t fit properly, so got these instead and wish I’d got them first. Perfect fit, as they should be.
I have expensive MTBS – Marin and Intense bikes. I also use small hatchback to get from A to B. I dislike roof racks because they are bulky, a pain to fit, remove, store and are more expensive. I just see no point in running round with a rack on my car 24/7. They are noisy and look like a bolted on extra. Up until now, the only reason I used them, was the reassurance of a sturdy fixing platform.
This product took care of all the above. I did not leave it on as it is so easy to fit and remove. Its not secure from theft but fitting takes 5 mins and includes putting the bikes on it. The beauty of it is it can be fitted when you want bikes to go with you.
The product is robust. Bikes hitches are metal. Bar is metal and nicely powder coated. I used Loctite all bolts THe suction cups are industrial grade with certificate of conformity showing extensive testing has been done to EN standards. Velcro straps are high quality. Options for QR and fixed bolt skewers too.
Fitting. Bar fitted just above windscreen where the roof frame is very strong as it has to be for the windscreen. Hardly any flexion so put it there. Further down the roof and flexion increases. Wipe the roof. Set the 2 centre cups first by compressing the valve until the white mark disappears. Easy and the suction is immense. Set the 2 ouer cups the same. Honestly it is rock solid. Fit your bike and beforehand, I placed a cloth on the roof where the back wheel will sit. Tighten the front hitch to the bike frame. Do not think about letting go until this is done. Place the rear cup in place directly under the bike axle, in line with the front wheel and fasten velcro and compress valve as above. Done!
I travelled 35 miles with 2 bikes. No issues at all. No loss of compression. No movement. Nothing.
Removed all at MTB trail and put it in the boot.
Refitting. As above. It had rained heavily but just dry the top of the roof where the rack is fitted and it is rock solid. No movement. No issues on return and no loss of compression/suction.
Even under heavy braking, the rack is rock solid.
I have every confidence in this rack. The manufacture is very good. Just remember to clean the cups in water and replace the protective caps. The piston valves need silicone lube which I will do every month.
Exactly as described. Suitable for Marzocchi Bomber Z2 (15×110) with Kobol thru axle. Works perfectly fine to hold the bike in position!
Unit is easy to mount and take off the car, a sturdy car roof recommended, I have done several long trips and had no issues.
Putting 3 mountain bikes without a front wheel onto a 4×4 is difficult, especially trying to not scratch the car roof – be warned!
UPDATE – Have now down a round trip to Wales and back (over 400 miles) doing motorway speeds and not a wobble from 3 mountain bikes on it nor having to stop and check them.
Contacted manufacturer directly and replaced the faulty products and working perfectly fine. I’m rating it a five stars now despite the slight issue as great value for money and great service from manufacturer.
Great product. Really pleased with how it mounts on the cars. Thats the great thing, use on any vehicle. Only negative is tgat you cant leave the bikes/car unattended as there is no means to lock the bikes to the vehicle. Otherwise a bang on product.
Great bike rack. Adapters are needed for through axle forks. 1 pair is provided for free when purchased on an alternative marketplace platform.
The rack itself is excellent. Very powerful suction which held for the entire motorway journey to bikepark wales with no loss of pressure at all.
Great suction power, the car rocks when you try and shake the bikes. I’ve added a front wheel mount to free up my boot space. SJS bikes.
The red paint had a chip on arrival and has now got a couple more after one use so my negative would be the paint quality & customer service from Rock Bros as I have had to response..
All in all it’s an ok product & certainly value for money, let’s see how it fairs longevity wise.
Total confidence in this rack, works great. Easy to install and mount bike. Producylt would be better with fork adaptors included but easily obtained for <10
Always mindful of the suckers so always checking as per the instructions.
Little unsure how 3 full size bikes would fit.
Quick and easy to put together. No more scratching the bikes or car with a big standard boot carrier.
One sucker started not to maintain suction, rockbros have been really supportive to diagnose the problem and send a replacement part out.
It’s definitely disconcerting the first time you mount it to the roof attached to only the paintwork, but I made certain the paint was clean and used a small amount of water as per the manufacturer’s instructions and it stuck like a limpet first time, even though my roof has a slight curve to it. Shaking the bikes to try to dislodge them just shakes the car, there’s absolutely no movement in the rack at all.
Went for a a slow drive to check that the bikes were stable and weren’t rubbing against each other. Then took mine and my son’s bikes for an hours’ drive (each way) along a mix of rough country roads, motorway and dirt tracks. The rack didn’t miss a beat. The bikes were solid, stable and didn’t leave a mark on the paintwork. Once we got to our riding spot I removed the rack (30 second operation) and threw it in the boot, suction cup-up so as not to get dust/dirt on the cups, did our ride then came back and repeated the mounting of it. Second time round it took literally three minutes to put the rack on. The bikes were mounted and ready to go in under 7 minutes in total. That’s faster than I’ve managed with my old BMW Thule ‘proper’ bike mounts.
It’s genuinely brilliant. I don’t normally gush on about things like roof racks, but this means I can get out and about with the bikes without worrying about needing to fit individual bike racks or leaving roof bars on constantly (and killing my fuel economy) and the best bit is that when I sell my car, the rack comes with me. It also fits our VW T5, hanging off the back door with the bikes held vertically and they’re just as stable and solid.
There’s a few people on the MTB forums going on about how they’ll never trust a Chinese brand’s ‘ripoff’ version of an ingenious idea, but it’s always those that don’t own it and who haven’t used it that are most vocal. The ones who’ve actually bought these racks all swear by them and I really can’t recommend this enough if you don’t want a set of roof bars/bike carrying system or if you own more than one car that you’ll be transporting your bikes on. Makes a lot of sense for those driving contract hire cars who change regularly or cars that can’t normally accept a conventional roof rack as well. You’ll save a fortune not having to swap your rack every time you get a new car…
Buy them!
Great product, suction cups covers can be a fiddle to put on, apart for that great!
Great roof rack for the money, suction is great and I feel safe with it on my roof. I wish an option was available to change the attachment for the forks. I have a quick release and had to buy another attachment for 15 so my bike would fit.
