monTEK Bike Wall Mount & Swivel Wall Rack – Adjustable vertical bike storage (up to 35kg)
Product description
What to know before you buy
If you’re trying to keep a garage or hallway tidy, a wall-mounted bike rack can make a huge difference. The monTEK Bike Wall Mount is designed around a simple idea: store your bike vertically, using the rear wheel as the contact point, rather than asking you to lift the whole bike onto a high hook. That “no heavy lifting” approach is the headline feature here, and it’s worth taking seriously if you regularly wrestle with awkward bikes or have limited space.
The other big deal is the swivel. This wall rack can rotate smoothly (up to 120°), so you can swing the bike to the side for more compact storage. When you’re not using it, the holder can fold away to keep the area looking less cluttered. That combination—vertical storage plus a rotating, foldable design—targets real-world everyday use, not just display.
Key points
This rack is built for vertical bike storage with an emphasis on easier handling. Instead of lifting the bike onto a bracket by force, you roll and balance it using the rear wheel. The design is intended to be friendlier on your back and reduces the effort needed day to day.
On top of that, the swivel and fold-away behaviour helps it work in tighter garages where you want the bike out of the way but still reachable. The included stop for the rear wheel also helps keep the bike in position, which is useful if you’re going to wheel it in and out regularly.
One limitation to keep in mind: this wall mount is not compatible with bikes that have mudguards (fenders). Also, installation guidance advises against fitting to unsupported wall surfaces like plasterboard unless there’s a solid wooden stud behind it.
The essentials (and what it’s really for)
This monTEK mount makes the most sense if you want a space-saving garage bike hanger that’s quick to use. The rack is adjustable in length across four positions (extended length adjusts from 47.3 cm to 71 cm), which should help it suit a range of bike sizes.
It’s positioned to work with wheels in the 16 to 29 inch range (including the tyre), with a tyre width limit of 3.54 inches or less. In practical terms, that covers common MTB, road, cruiser and similar styles, as well as some kids’ bikes—assuming your tyre size and width fall within that window.
A small micro-example: imagine you’ve finished a ride, you wheel the bike in, balance it on the rear wheel area of the rack, then gently roll it into place. When you want to leave, you rotate it out to the side (rather than lifting it off), pull the bike free, and fold the holder back if space is tight.

What stands out in everyday use
The “no heavy lifting” design is the practical win. If you’ve ever tried using a traditional overhead-style hook, you’ll know how much effort that takes—especially with heavier bikes. By contrast, this rack asks you to use the rear wheel as the balancing point, then roll the bike into position.
The swivelling design also feels genuinely useful. Being able to rotate the bike towards the side can reduce the amount of clearance you need to manoeuvre around it. And because it can fold when not in use, it’s easier to keep the wall looking clean.
That said, it’s not perfect for every setup. If your bike has mudguards, you’ll likely need to look elsewhere, because compatibility is specifically called out as an issue.

Where it may fall short
The most obvious “be careful” point is compatibility with mudguards. If your bike has those, this is unlikely to be a smooth fit.
Also, while the rack is rated for heavy capacity, your real-world experience will still depend on proper wall installation. The instructions advise not installing on unsupported wall surfaces (like plasterboard) unless you have a solid stud behind it. If you don’t have that, it could become a frustrating project.
Buying verdict
It’s worth considering if you want space-saving vertical bike storage for a garage or similar indoor area, and you prefer a rack that reduces lifting effort. The swivel and fold-away features can make it easier to live with on a daily basis, especially when space is tight.
You may want to skip it if your bike has mudguards, or if you can’t confidently mount it into a suitable structural support behind the wall. It also might not suit you if your bike’s tyre width or wheel diameter falls outside the stated limits.
