We like it, it does the job. There is definitely some cons though: It is a challenge to get the peg lined up on the bottom when you are attaching the bike rack to the hitch. We have to lay on the ground. It is a two man job. It has to be very precise and it can be very frustrating. It has also been a challenge to get 4 bikes on the bars. The issue falls mostly with the kids bikes the bars are to small to put the bars between them, so then you have to find other ways to secure them safely. We take it on and off when we are done with it, since we don't use it regularly. It is a time consuming job to get the rack on and get the bikes on it. I wouldn't do it every day.

I haven't officially used this product, however I have put it on my van and here is my first impression. Overall the product is strong. The only 3 things that I can see is a problem. If you have kids with training wheels, this product wouldn't work. Bikes are to close together for training wheels. If your adult bike has a little curve or the cross bar is large, you will have a little trouble putting it on. The next thing is the bolt that allows you to access the rear hatch is a pain. How they have it set up, you need a wrench to take the bolt out just to get into the rear hatch.

I'm still totally happy with this rack after a year. It is so nice to be able to open the back hatch (Honday Odyssey) without removing everything.

Solid trailer, not too difficult to put together. After putting it together I took a 100 mile trip with four bikes and it worked great. Two tips from others helped. I installed in "on the car" (and was able to do it by myself) and I took some time to put the bikes in the order we would always load it (with our current four bikes), essentially "setting" the wheel holders to the exact bike. Great product and great price.

Great quality, awesome price I ordered this on etrailer Feb 1st, got the delivery on Feb 8th. Perfect packing. The product was very easy to assemble. There were finally 4 small screws that I was not clear what to do with. Called etrailer and they clearly told me where the screws go. The rack is built strong, really good quality. I was actually surprised to see such great quality at less than half the price of a Thule or Yakima. Overall the product is easy to use. Yes it has some quirks like when you fold the center rachet arm, the cotter pin to hold it in place is sometimes hard to push in. Not a big deal but something that swagman can improve on. Also one other key point is the total dimension of this rack. I have a Honda Odyssey and with 4 bikes mounted on the rack, it takes about 3-3.5 feet of space at the back (juts out). A thule T2 or Yakima hold up for 4 bikes will be close to 5.6-6 feet. The swagman has a great advantage in reducing vehicle sway and drag. As with anything this comes with a drawback that you need to play around and figure out the best positions for the bikes. Again not a big deal, one time job of 10 mins. Overall I am very happy with the bike rack and even more happy with etrailer. I will be coming to etrailer for all my future rack, hitch needs.

I have been using this hitch daily for about 3 weeks. Installation was straight-forward and I had no problems getting it on my 2015 Honda Odyssey. The unit is solid and the amount of sway is minimal. In addition to the rack, I also purchased the Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded hitch pin (S64029). It works fine as well. I did not order the cable that goes with it because of some other reviews I read, but I think I will be ordering the cable shortly. My wife's bike required the use of an Alternate Frame Bike adapter (64005), which I also purchased and it works well. My only suggestion is put additional protective wrap around the frame where the bike is secured on top. I went to the local hardware store and purchased a length of pipe insulation, and then cut it to size. It adds additional protection to reduce scratches and wear on the frame. This was an idea presented in other reviews. I researched a number of other racks, including Thule, and I think this is the best rack for the money. I would recommend this rack to anyone.

This rack it nice and decently made. Really easy to use as long as you use the same bikes in same positions every time. The one thing I was surprised at was very few reviewers if any mentioned that the three bolts that serve to allow the 3 arms to pivot are just simple carriage bolts with regular nuts on the end. All I needed was an adjustable wrench and I the middle arm off in a few seconds. That would mean your bikes are gone even it you use padlocks in the ratchet arms. Seems kind of stupid to use a padlock and key when all a thief really needs is and adjustable wrench. I guess I will take a chisel and damage the extend portion of the bolt threads to make this a little harder from someone to undo the nuts. It really is a weak spot that should be addressed. I am actually thinking a decent cable lock running through the bikes, rack and secured to the car hitch might be more secure than a locking hitch bolt and 2 padlocks for the ratchets. Or perhaps a combination of all the above. As expected Etrailer's service and shipping were excellent.

This is a very solid product! I have used it for over a year now and love it! I have had up to 3 bikes on this without a problem and have traveled over 8 hours in the car one way with absolutely no issues. Many other bike racks like this one that I see on other cars look unstable this is not unstable in anyway. I did have to file some of the paint off of the rack to get it to fit in my 1 and 1/4" hitch but once that was done it has been perfect. I also bought the locking hitch bolt which is awesome too.

Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.

We have used the Swagman Roof Rack a number of times when we have needed the additional bike carrying capacity. It took a couple attempts to get the initial spacing of the bike rack properly balanced on the van’s roof rack as recommended by the instructions. But it was easy to do and once set was very easy and quick to put on and take off. The rack works great, the bike is easy to put into place and secure. The bike and rack are very stable and quiet and haven’t required any mid-trip adjustments. We always put the cheapest bike on the roof (lol) but do use a bit of duct tape to protect the finish just Incase. We are very satisfied with the rack and consider it quite a deal for the money.

I will describe the few issues first: 1) the bike rack does not fold down. It tilts away from the car, but it doesn’t fold down when in use. So, the giant bar is always sticking out from your vehicle unless you remove the hitch. 2) the weight limit is 100 lbs total. For 5 bikes, this is typically NOT enough. My kids bikes (20”) are 20 lbs each, my bike is 30 lbs. 3) cross check the price. Prices from Swagmans own site are better than listed here. So I did price match. The construction is sturdy enough and the clasps look good, but we returned for the first two issues above.

Purchased this after reading some of the other reviews and Q&A on etrailer - i hadn't thought about the fact that how the crossbars on the bike are configured makes a difference - 3 of our 5 bikes wouldn't have fit on a two bar bike rack because the openings are two small (I ended up measuring them before selecting a rack). I still ended up having to use the adapter for one of them which works great. Installation was easy (I had uhaul put a receiver hitch on my 2012 odyssey the week before) - you do have to pull a pin on the bottom of the rack when you tilt it, which some might consider an inconvenience compared to some of the other brands that just have release levers, but i view it as less stuff to break compared to those racks. If you're going to have it on a lot and park in a garage, consider the fact that it doesn't collapse because it does add significant length to the vehicle. 5 bikes are definitely doable if you set it up correctly. I think its the most versatile rack you can get based on the way it holds the bikes and would definitely recommend.

So, one year in, this works well for the price. I have successfully hauled around 5 bikes a couple times now including a couple vacations. Bikes got there securely despite 4+ hours of driving at interstate speeds, including one harrowing stretch on bumpy roads with 70 mph speed limits (wow Texas, seriously?) where the car got significant amounts of "air" at random intervals. Getting the bikes on and off is still a major pain. I had to buy the adapter for 3 womens/children's bikes. My own full size mountain bike barely fits on, too, the pitch between the bars seems a bit challenging and requires me to contort the bike dramatically to get it on and off. If you are trying to actually get 5 bikes on here, figuring out the bike handle tetris game is not easy. Will take you a bit. It still takes me ~15 min to load 5 bikes up every time. On short trips I sometimes skip the tiedown through all the bike wheels and it's fine, although I wouldn't do it for long trips. My biggest regret here is not buying one where the rack will pivot out to allow access to the rear minivan hitch with the bikes attached -- this means this is the last thing to pack in the car and the first thing you unpack, every time on vacation. It requires planning and forethought. The rack does fold down nicely which we used extensively on vacation once the bikes were unpacked, just don't drive around that way. On my Honda minivan the bottom of this sags a bit when fully loaded with bikes, to the extent I scrape hard every time exiting my slightly inclined driveway. We found a few other low spots along our way, from restaurants to other businesses, that resulted in similar cringe-inducing moments. We drove it on the beach quite a bit, after a healthy wash with the pressure washer there is some mild rusting where the handles rotate, but the rack is otherwise in good shape.

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Honda Odyssey
Today in this 2013 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be testing the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack. Part number TH912XTR. As you can see we already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go ahead and take a closer look. Now, how the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have 3 points of contact with the bike's frame: we're going to have two straps up top here, and one strap of. One strap of to the side which is going to access an anti-sway strap, to keep it from going back and forth, hitting the bike rack and possibly the bike in front of it. Let's go and take the bike off and set it aside. Now once you remove the straps it's always a good habit to actually put them back in place because you don't want them flapping around when you're driving, you don't want to loose them while you're driving. Now a fact, once you get into situations in which you're in close court, such as parking garages or parking in general, these arms do fold down but before I do that, I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements. The first is going to be how much distance is added to the vehicle once the bike rack is installed, and we go ahead and measure from the bumper. So, from this point down, we have about 27 inches. For ground clearance, which is going to be this point right here, it's about 10 1/2 inches, and then the closest point is going to be this gray lever here, that's going to be about 3 inches. Now, as I said earlier, these do fold down, you just go to this gray lash here, lift up, let it fall, and once you hear that click, they're secured in place. Now, at this point the only measurement that changes is the over all distance, which is now, with the straps all the way...
Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Honda Odyssey
Today, on this 2013 Honda Odessey we're going to be test fitting the Swagman XC2 Bike Rack, part number S64650. We already have a bike installed, let's go ahead and take a closer look.

That is going to be the frame hook up here. Let's go ahead and take the bike off, and set it off to the side. To do that, the actual frame hooks, you push this button in here, and that will release it or lower it. Now, do that down here.

2013 Honda Odyssey Bike Rack Questions
- A Class III trailer hitch has a 2 inch receiver, and the Thule Camber 2-Bike Rack # TH9058 and Thule Camber 4-Bike Rack # TH9056 will absolutely fit in that size of hitch (it will actually fit in any hitch with a 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receiver)!
The Camber is going to do an excellent job of allowing you to transport your bikes because of its fixed anti-sway cradles that will keep your bikes perfectly stable as opposed to lesser hanging bike racks that have cradles which are...
view full answer... - The design of the 2013 Honda Odyssey does not work for trunk mounted bike racks. Your only option, without installing a hitch, is a suction cup type rack like the SeaSucker Komodo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted - Black # 298-BK1910-BK.
I recommend installing a hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This would allow you many choices for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Camber # TH9058...
view full answer... - Yes, the Hollywood Racks 2" Hitch Lock and 8' Cable Lock for Bike Racks, part # HRLHPC2, will work with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, part # KU77FR. The Kuat Transfer V2 uses a 5/8" hitch pin and the locking cable does not attach to the rack.
I have included a product description link and video review links below.
view full answer... - For your 2013 Honda Odyssey the most popular 4-bike rack out there is the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR. This rack is a very solid rack loaded with all of the nicer features of the more expensive racks like anti-sway cradles to prevent the bikes from banging into each other and also tilt for better access to the rear cargo area. I attached a review video for this rack on a similar 2013 Honda Odyssey for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - The Curt Trailer Hitch Class III # C13068 will fit on your 2013 Honda Odyssey. No welding or drilling is required for installation as it is made to easily bolt on to your vehicle. You will be using the weld nuts on your vehicle for installation, and most of the time, the weld nuts can get dirt in there and make the installation process more difficult. I recommend the Nylon Tube Brush # 814092 to clean the weld nuts and make the installation process go smoothly.

view full answer... - In order to transport three beach cruisers and one mountain bike with your 2013 Honda Odyssey, I recommend going with a hitch mounted platform bike rack.
If your Odyssey isn't currently equipped with a hitch, take a look at the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75270. This is a custom fit hitch which requires no drilling or welding for installation and will provide you will a versatile 2 inch receiver opening.
Now for the bike rack. With the bikes that you have...
view full answer... - The RockyMounts Westlope 3 bike rack part # RKY10223 that you referenced would fit well when folded down but when folded up would be 1 inch short of clearing so you'd have to go a different route like with the Saris Freedom part # SA4414B which is actually a 4 bike rack but would easily fit and clear folded. There isn't a similar 3 bike rack that would have the clearance which is why this would be best option overall.
I attached a review video for this rack for more info too.
view full answer... - Yes, you can get the anti-sway cage for your Thule Passage trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT. The part you need is # 853-7758 and it fits the Stay-Put cradles on your Passage bike rack. The strap is sold separately, # 852-3006-001.
view full answer... - For transporting four bikes on your 2013 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4414B. This bike rack is a great choice for a few reasons. First off, as long as you mount the E-bike in either of the first two positions closest to the vehicle, you have the required weight capacity you need. Also, since the cradles on the Freedom adjust independently along the central mast, you will be able to attach your bikes by the frame...
view full answer... - The trunk-mount Hollywood Racks # HRF2 is an excellent carrier but to give you full access to the rear of your Odyssey while you're transporting bikes the way to go is a hitch and hitch-mount bike rack that will tilt or swing away from the vehicle to give you access to the cargo area. All trunk-mount bike racks share the limitation of not allowing you to open a rear hatch or trunk when one is installed. They also prevent use of a rear wiper when one is present on the car. Other...
view full answer... - Yes, I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Over-The-Top Bike Rack part # HRF2-3 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2013 Honda Odyssey.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also....
view full answer... - The Swagman XP, # S64970, is not designed to hold the bikes at the seat post or in any other orientation other than horizontal. Damage to the bikes or rack could occur. The rotating cradles and single arm make this rack compatible with many different bike styles. You would only need to use an adapter bar like # 64005 if a bike had a step through frame or the top frame bar had less than 7-3/16 x 3 inches of space to mount in the cradle.
There are a lot of 5 bike options and...
view full answer... - When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75270 on a 2013 Honda Odyssey, see video, we found the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear of the bumper was 5-3/4 inches. This is slightly too long for the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV which when folded measures 5 inches from the pin hole to the nearest part of the rack.
I recommend the Rockymounts BackStage # RKY10002 which is a similar design but it can also swing off to the side of the vehicle allowing access...
view full answer... - I have a solution for you, however, the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack, # S64665, will most likely hit your bumper when folded up on your 2013 Honda Odyssey.
The bike rack I recommend for you is the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # SA4414B. This bike rack measures 10 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bike rack when folded up. To verify that this will work on your Odyssey, I recommend measuring from the...
view full answer... - The Swagman XP, # S64960, might be the best option though you could still have trouble with the smaller bikes. You would need an open section on the frames 7-3/16 inches long and 1-3/4 inches tall to fit on the rack without an adapter. If you do not have this much space available on the rack then you would need to use adapter # 64005. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.
view full answer... - I do have a great option for you, however the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2013 Honda Odyssey so there aren't any fit settings or instructions available. While this is a really nice carrier, its mounting base isn't designed to secure to larger vehicles like your Odyssey.
For your van I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 instead. This particular rack is confirmed to fit your vehicle...
