RockyMounts, the company that’s stoked to carry your prized possessions, is now stoked to secure them, too. The -based company will expand its offerings beyond the rack category by introducing a line of 24 bike locks at this week’s International Expo.

“Our customers have been trusting us to secure their bikes for decades,” said , the company president. “This expansion from racks to bike security is a logical application of our design skill and expertise, and something that adds value for our dealer partners.”

He continued, “We offer high quality products and solid margins in a clean product line that makes doing business with RockyMounts more efficient. One of the innovative products is the , a hinged U-, and we have packaging that’s elegant and eye-catching. Finally, the RockyMounts brand is well established with cycling .”

The collection, developed by company founder and lead product designer Bobby Noyes, includes one folding lock, nine U-locks, nine cable locks, two chain locks, and three padlocks. Each item has a company-assigned security rating ranging from 1 for use in a low crime, residential area, to 10 for use in a high-density, urban setting.

The locks are made of a variety of materials including hardened steel, stainless steel, and alloy and range in price from $9.95 to $149.95, with the majority of the collection having an MSRP between $24.95 and $39.95 and appealing to , college students, and family-oriented riders.

At the top of the line, the Compton Large U-lock is designed for nontraditional lockup scenarios in high-density urban areas and has a security rating of 10. This heavy duty lock features an 18mm shackle and base and measures 4.5″ by 7.28″, making it the largest U-lock available. It is made of CNC-machined, non-corrosive 304 stainless steel and coated with clear rubber to prevent frame damage. MSRP is $149.95.

RockyMounts Pivot U-LockFor students and commuters in university and suburban settings, RockyMounts developed the Pivot family of U-locks, which are made of hardened steel and have a security rating of 6. The two Pivot size options both feature an easy-to-operate hinged design, rubber-coated grips, and silicone lock covers. They come with bike frame mounting brackets and three keys each. The standard Pivot, MSRP $34.95, measures 3.5″ by 5.1″ and the Pivot Large, MSRP $39.95, is 4.5″ by 7.25″. The standard Pivot is also available with a 4′ braided steel cable for MSRP $39.95.

RockyMounts Hendrix LockThe most ergonomically designed lock in the collection is the sleek Hendrix folding lock, made of 5mm rubber-coated steel plates. The Hendrix, security rated as a 7, features push button, spring-loaded engagement for easy opening and locking, and folds to the size of a small water bottle when not in use. Unfolded, it measures 27″ in length and is as secure as a U-lock. It includes three keys and a water bottle cage mounting bracket for MSRP $69.95.

RockyMounts promises significant incentives for dealers to place preseason orders at Interbike, such as discounts, dating, multiple ship windows, and multi-category discounting to carry both locks and racks.
