Swagman 4 Bike Folding Wheel Mount Bike Rack Review - Video
XTC4 Extreme Cruiser 4-Bike Cross Country Rack for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers
This cross country model offers convenience and reliability for your traveling needs. With a four-bike capacity, it accommodates most frame sizes using wheel hoops and bike hooks. Constructed with soft-frame coating to protect the bike's finish, the bike hooks securely hold the bike in the wheel hoop cradles. The hooks smoothly slide up and down by using an easily-adjustable push button ratcheting system. The hassle of removing wheels is eliminated with wheel hoops that accommodate wheels up to 2-1/2" wide and adjust to fit different frame lengths. To decrease in size, the upright bars with bike hooks fold down when not in use. A powder-coated finish protects it from corrosion from the elements. This rack fits 2" x 2" trailer hitches.
