Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great product. It was easy to install and really holds your bike secure. I feel completely confident when using this bike rack.
Bad design !!! Almost lost my bicycle on the road. Bike hook slide teeth got worn out after one year of use. It is the "U" shape push down lock that holds your top tube. After small (micro) teeth that hold the hook down get worn from use and rust, bicycle will push this hook up as it vibrates back and forth while you drive. Once hook is up, your top tube will clear and bicycle will fold down. Some kind of pin or security is needed above the hook. I will probably drill a hole just above the hook and insert some kind of pin.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I have been looking at this product for months. Looking at the reviews and comparing it to other products. I decided on this one because of the ratings and the price. Everything about this product is spot-on with regards to description, installation and quality. If you don't have a bike carrier and need one, don't hesitate. I wished I had bought this one before my trunk mounted carrier, scratched up my car's paint.
Great product for the price! Took a bit of fiddling to get it set up the first time and get the bikes locked in securely. Now that it's dialed in it's super fast to get my rides on and off. I am very happy with this rack. Best feature is the ratcheting hold downs! So much better than the screw down hand knobs on my friends more expensive rack.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Bike rack fits securely to car. No bike sway. It's a bit cumbersome to get used to installing and loading bike compared to the more expensive models. Had to use straps to secure bike wheels from moving and turning. Otherwise a great rack and reasonable price.
I chose this rack based on the reviews, and it lives up to the hype. Very solid construction, and a very solid fit in the receiver. After installing it, I attached my bike and drove it around a bit just to get a sense of how solid it was. After many years of a trunk mounted rack, this rack is rock solid by comparison. And I can easily open and access the trunk even with my bike in place. I'm not only pleased with the rack and the hitch I purchased, but also EXTREMELY impressed with the great people at etrailer.com. I sent a question that was answered quickly, and they kept me informed of my order and its status every step of the way. Thank you so much!!
