Video Transcript for Swagman 2 Hitch Bike Ball Mount Rack Review
Today we are going to show you part number S64095 from Swagman. This is a 2-bicycle carrier for 1-1/4 and 2-inch trailer hitch receivers. How this bicycle carrier works is that it actually mounts into the ball hole of either/or receiver. It requires a ball with a 3/4-inch shank or you can bolt it to your bumper, also, using a 3/4-inch nut-and-bolt assembly. As you can see here, we have this bicycle rack here actually mounted to the bumper using a 3/4-inch bolt-and-nut assembly to hold it in place. Pretty simple. Again, you can do it like this on your bumper, or you can install this on your ball mount on a 2-inch or 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch.
Construction of this bicycle rack is steel tubing with powder coat on top of it. This carrier will carry two bicycles with one plate holding both of them down in place. And we will demonstrate that here. Go ahead and undo the top handle here and take the plate off. Install your bike, and then the plate goes back on top of it. Go ahead and set your bike on there and balance it if you need to, and then your plate simply goes back on top. All right, and with that your bike is safely ready to go down the road.
What is nice about this bicycle rack is that the cradles are covered with this rubber material. And it also has grooves inside of here to make way for your bicycle cables. And what is nice is there is an opening on the plate and on the bottom plate here so you can put a padlock through to secure it while you are away from the bikes. All right, and there you have it for part number S64095 from Swagman, 2-bike carrier for 1-1/4 and 2-inch trailer hitch receivers.

Great delivery! Ordering and receiving we're a snap. Only draw back is we must buy a new hitch because the hitch ball we have is too big to fit the hole in this one. Otherwise we're looking forward to trying it.
Thank you!55176
Pleased with this product. The bike could be a little more securely held in the bike carrier, but I only drive short distances with the bike and it is held securely enough.42532
Just what the doctor ordered! This is the best bike rack I have had the pleasure of owning. The instructions were plain and simple, even I could do it. Installation was a breeze, it looks good and works perfectly. The bike is safe and secure when mounted...thanks to the attached locking system. I also use a padlock inserted through the provided hole for double security. Kudos to the customer service representative for her product knowledge and recommendation. 42467
I use this bike rack on a 2011 Toyota Corolla. I carry a mountain bike and a BMX. It is a sturdy, well designed rack that takes up very little space when not in use. Mine came with an extra feature where you can lock the tightening knob. For the money, it's awesome. I'd buy it again in a heart beat.
I also give etrailer 5 stars. Great service. Best price.
Thank you etrailer!33154
This bike hitch is just what I needed to transport my bike to and from the trails! Set up and installation was a snap! Price and delivery was perfect, in fact, etrailer upgraded my shipping choice. I got the rack in three days, THANK YOU! I have already told some of my friends about your web site! I especially like the way the hitch "locks" your bike in, with out crushing the cables running along the top tube, and the optional pad lock hole for added security!20583
The bike rack works great with two bikes. To keep the bikes stable, used tie wraps to secure both bike's pedals together and a bungee cord to secure the front wheel on the bike closest to the truck. In the photos you will see the Women's bike front wheel is secured by the bike adapter bar.

There are many different types of bike racks. Some attach to a hitch, others mount on the vehicles trunk. Some tilt, some swing out to the side. The good thing about most racks is that you can install them yourself, though a dealer that sells bike racks can install one for you.

We do have a couple of Ball Hole Mount bike racks, like the Swagman S64095 you were looking at, but they do not have the tilting ability. They would allow use of different size frames, but those cradle types would not be as secure as individual cradles.

It has dual arms which will give better stability and the arms will fold down when not being used. It has a maximum weight capacity of 100 lbs.

I have a couple of Swagman bike racks, part # S64095, and part # S64101, that attach to the hitch ball hole on the bumper of your 1993 Ford Explorer, but they are not going to be easily attached and removed. It will require the removing and installing of the 1-7/8 hitch ball every time you remove or install the bike rack on the bumper. They both require the ball hole in the bumper to be 3/4 inch in diameter. I am including installation instructions for both of the Swagman bike racks.

The 2 Bike Carrier, # S64095, is best used on a bumper that can accept a ball with a 3/4 inch shank like in the video I have included. If your 2005 BMW X3 fits this description, then it should work for you.

Using a quality trunk-mounted bike rack like the Thule Raceway part # TH9001 would be a cost-effective way of transporting two bikes without the expense of installing a hitch on your Sienna. Rather than the buckles and strap other racks use to attach to the vehicle, the Raceway uses 4 ratcheting cables that allow the rack to be installed or removed in seconds.
