Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 51 reviews.
In Europe I have not found this type of kit for my bike-van. I mounted 3 of them on wood in the garage before taking it into the van on the mounting rail. It optimises precious space and allows for rapid loading and unloading by just removing the front wheels and nothing else. Time is precious as well :)
Parts were good quality for the price and worked well.
Store owner replied: Thank Andrew!
The thru axle fork mount is exactly what I needed. I can fit our bikes with room to spare.
Worked great.
I purchased 3 of these. I was originally debating between this mount and the Freedom Coast -- but ultimately what sold me on this was the ability to turn the bars so I can fit not just 2, but 4(!) bikes into the back of my van without even having to loosen the stems to turn the bars. Another huge advantage is the snug fit of the 15mm axle inserts vs having to have different adapters/endcaps for each axle type. These mounts come with all the fittings for m mtb, gravel and kids' bikes needs! Great construction quality, reasonable price, and they look great too.
well thought out and useful van life solutions!
These are our go to mounts when trying to keep the bike as low as possible. Unaka Gear has always proven to be top notch. We can't wait to try out the new stuff they're about to release.
I'm blown away by the quality of these mounts! After trying a different, very expensive, brand that I couldn't get to work in my setup, I contacted Unaka Gear. Lauren was super helpful and these new mounts work perfectly with no wasted space or movement when traveling with two heavy eBikes.
We are very happy with this product. It is very low profile, which allows us to still use the fold down bed in our van. The fork mount works really slick with the L track. Just finished a 2,000 mile trip hauling our new E-bikes with no issues. A great product, particularly if you are trying to keep your bikes mounted as low as possible.
Love the racks. They are very low profile, well made, easy to use, and they hold my bike firmly through bumps and turns. For the product you get, the price is a steal in my opinion, good luck finding anything else for your van that is more reasonably priced than these bad boys. Not even to mention the quality of service you get with Unakagearco. They sent me replacement inserts, no questions asked, no charge, the day after I contacted them. Unreal company, unreal product!
Don’t have extra l-track to install perpendicular so we installed them parallel to the l-track and still works great. Have driven over 5,000 miles and they hold the bikes amazingly and solidly.
I needed a low profile fork mount to carry my bikes in my campervan. These worked perfectly and look great.
Thru Axle Fork Mount combined with the Swivel Base has been awesome. I've been using it for a month and the bike pretty much lives in my truck now. Quality products. Excellent service when I had questions.
Store owner replied: Hey Keith, We are thrilled to hear how much you're enjoying your Thru Axle Fork Mount combined with the Swivel Base!

Mounted on a Bike Inside carrier
It’s fine. Just a little confusing on what parts I actually needed. I wound up only needing the L track base plate and 3 screws. It couldn’t use the rotating plate with my Sprinter van interior rack since it added too much height and the rotating option put the handle bars into a geometry that also wouldn’t fit in my Sprinter. The thru axle mount is definitely worth it though!
Store owner replied: Hey Brian, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Thru Axle Mounting Kit. We appreciate you letting us know about the parts confusion and the challenges you faced with the rotating plate and height in your Sprinter van. We're glad to hear the thru axle mount itself is proving valuable for you! Thanks again for your review and for being a part of the Unaka Gear Co. community. -Cat
It would be nice if the smaller spacer was part of the mount. It seems like that is the minimum space that is required to mount most modern bikes. Using the two spacers makes the mount less stable in my experience.
Store owner replied: Hey Eric, Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We designed the fork mounts with interchangeable spacers to provide maximum flexibility across the wide variety of modern bike forks and axle configurations from road bikes to downhill mountain bikes. Your suggestion is a good one and we'll definitely keep it in mind as we continue refining the product. Thanks again for choosing Unaka Gear Co. — Eric
Total game changer for my eMTB. I put it in the back of my F350, which is high and awkward. Being able to put the axle in the fork and simply place it in the mount, vs. the old way of having to balance the heavy bike and get the axle through.. again, total game changer and exactly what I was hoping for.
Store owner replied: Hey Brad, Love hearing this. Helping make loading and unloading heavy bikes easier was exactly the goal, so it's great to hear the fork mount is doing exactly what you hoped it would. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and enjoy the rides. — Eric
I needed a low profile axel mount. This was perfect
Store owner replied: Hey Eric, Glad the low-profile axle mount was exactly what you were looking for. Thanks for the support and for choosing Unaka Gear Co. — Eric
The Unaka fork mounts are fantastic, versatile and durable. I’ve got three of them, highly recommended from me.
Store owner replied: Hey Paul, Really appreciate the feedback — and having three fork mounts definitely says a lot. Glad to hear they’ve been versatile and durable for your setup. Thanks again for the support and recommendation. — Eric
I bought 2 fork mounts years ago when I built out my campervan. I changed my layout around and added L track so I ordered the L track mounting kit. They must have changed the design because the holes for the older fork mounts don’t line up with the L track mounting kit. My son had a newer fork mount he wasn’t using anymore and let me have it. The newer fork mount lines up perfectly with the L track mounting kit. Great product and quality, I just wish I knew they didn’t work with the older fork mounts Chris L
Store owner replied: Chris, Please message us at csr@unakagearco.com to get some help with this. We’ve had this scenario come up several times with customers that bought the original model that was released 2+ years ago. We kindly ask for the chance to help you instead of a 1 star review.
I love you mounting system overall. Unfortunately we found that the further you rotate you handle bars, the less stable the bike is on the L track. We had hoped to turn our road bike handle bars 90 degrees so that we could fit them between our other bikes, but the bikes just pitched forward in that position because the front fork is held only by the axle, not the frame. Any suggestions?
Love it
We haven’t taken delivery of our van yet, so haven’t installed it. However we have long used a similar product to carry our bikes in the back of a Toyota. This product is super well designed and well made and I expect it will see a great deal of use.
This setup offers more flexibility than what I had been using. Easy to install, easy to adjust.
Great product and very well thought of. I ve installed three in my van attached to the internal railing system. I can easily fit my road, gravel and my wife’s e-bike. Being in the van it’s easy to install and take out. And we don’t have to worry about the bikes at all. Very well secured. Very well done and thank you! V.

Product was excellent. Shipping time was not. Purchased 8/23, not delivered (or even email to update status) till 9/12.
We'll, I didn't actually get a product from Unaka. I meant to order the through axle mounts but goofed up and ordered the mounting kit. As everyone but me knows, those mounts are out of stock. What was so great, five-star worthy, was the customer service I received when I confessed my blunder, I was graciously treated and it was easy to send back the parts I ordered in error. I'll try and do better, but these folks nailed it!! 👍
Unaka - Thru Axle Mounting Kit
Store owner replied: Thanks Trish! Glad we could help out. Great news we finally got some new stock last week so if you still need some fork mounts we got it all ready now!
Fork mounts are sweet, totally confused why the mounting kit and mounts are not sold as a single package?
Store owner replied: Thanks John we’re glad you like the mount! The l-track mounting kits are sold separately since many folks don’t have l-track and mount directly to the floor or wall. Let us know how your adventures go!
Used to mount my bikes in the garage of my camper. Now they are secure while we travel vs cargo straps. And they look good too.
I needed a through axle mount that would sit very low to the ground, in hopes I could carry my bike standing up inside my SUV. The Unaka was perfect!!! It’s sturdy, easy to use, and nice and low.
Good product, no instructions. Pretty spendy.
It works
The bike mount is exactly what I was looking for, works super simple, and I love the fact that you can mount it on an angle to get multiple bikes inside my Sprinter van.
Love everything.
Spacers were not thick enough for some bottom fork adjusters to clear the mounting surface. I had to go buy some thick washers. Works but looks like crap.
Store owner replied: Hey Garth! I bet that’s not as clean as you’d like. We do offer additional spacers for situations like this. Find them here: https://unakagearco.com/products/unaka-bike-thru-axle-fork-mount-extra-spacers
Great mount to use in rv storage area. Customer service was excellent.
These are some of the simplest and most compact designs out there. Love how they function!
The low profile and L track mounting worked well in my low camper shell!
