Following on the footsteps of their DriveShaft HM and Track mounts, RockyMounts saw an opportunity to improve a tried and true design with the DropTop, their next locking fork mount that grows upon years of feedback and use.
The DropTop utilizes a TPU overmolded shim to allow for both 12mm and 15mm axles to fit without the need for switching shims out. It is based on the same clamshell design as the DriveShaft series, which allows for easy loading and adapts to minor differences in axle diameter or contouring. The DropTop also includes mounting holes for both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations, so it replaces both the DriveShaft HM and DriveShaft Track Mounts
RockyMounts DropTop Specs:
- The only locking thru-axle track mount for truck and van tracks
- Compatible with 12mm and 15mm thru axles up to 110mm wide
- Vertical and horizontal mounting positions
- TPU overmolded shim eliminates the need to switch out shims for 12mm or 15mm axles
- Anti-Theft: TPU surface provides sufficient friction to stop the axle from being removed when DropTop is firmly clamped and locked
- Can fit QR bikes with our 9mm QR with Dummy Axle – sold separately
- Wide mouth opening to easily load your bike and a locking T-Bolt that adjusts for a tighter hold so the thru-axle cannot be removed when locked

- Lock core, keys, and Track Hardware Included
- MSRP: $89.95
