Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Easy to install and easy to take off when not in use; does a great job holding the bikes in place over long, hard drives. The only issue we have had has been with corrosion. I wish the company who made this had used non-corrosive materials. We plan to give it a serious Rust-oleum treatment this summer, but it would make the product even better if this wasn't needed.
Very solid product. Easy to setup/install and use. Price is great. Arrived promptly. My only complaint is that sometimes the pins are a pain to get in and out when folding the tire trays up and down. I assume this will "loosen" up in time. Other than that, it's an amazing bike rack.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
We've used this rack for a year now on our Honda Fit. It's been great for our two road bikes, and we've taken it on multiple cross-country road trips. No problems with installing, or safety, or quality of the rack. We also bought the matching Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable. I read several reviews of this type of rack before buying and one of the complaints was that the clamp could rub the paint off of your bike's top tube, and the bike can rub the rubber off the clamping surface pf the rack. The way I've found around that is to get a cheap pool noodle, cut in half and split one side along its length. Then place the pool noodle around the top tube of your bike before clamping it down. This protects the finish perfectly on both the bike and the rack, it's light and it's cheap.
Great bike hauler, easy to assemble. Simple to use I have heavy cruiser bikes with huge tires and it handles them just fine

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting
The quality of the bike rack was excellent, but I was unable to use it because I couldn't open and close my trunk (Honda Accord 2012) when the bike rack was closed. It may have worked if I had a different trailer hitch, but I didn't want to spend the extra money on a new trailer hitch. Unfortunately, I will need to return the bike rack.
I was looking for a light weight bike rack for my 2015 Honda Accord. Your videos stated that the Kuat Beta was light and easy to install. You were right. I opened the box, read the instructions, and had it installed in about 10 minutes. I don't use a rack lock. It is so easy to pop on and off the hitch that I keep the rack in my car trunk.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great product. Arrived on time. Assembly was easy took less than 30 minutes.
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
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.
Well built and good quality. So glad I can haul bikes easier with our Honda Pilot now!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
This is a very well designed rack. It's sturdy, and has very versatile straps for mounting and securing the bikes. The rack is pretty high off the ground, which is perfect for cars with low clearance. Even for aggressive mountain bikes with lots of suspension, I don't have to worry about scraping the hitch or the wheels on the ground in my Honda Fit. When loaded with 1 or 2 bikes, the rack does a good job of softening bumps from the road without bouncing too much.
Excellent product and transaction. Thank you George!
