Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I have a 2017 Santa Fe Sport--when you place bikes in the rack the one pedal hits the back of my car. I put woolen sock on the pedal and will have to see if this will be enough for the pedal not to damage my car.
This bike rack is great. It's easy to install and I love that's its collapsible.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

Our Townies fit great on this well designed rack. The website was very detailed and told me everything I needed to know to make the right selection. Even better, customer service cinched the deal with their help answering any additional questions. Top quality product and even better service.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works like a charm..!! Easy to install..!! Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2017
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.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
It was easy to put on our 2013 Lexus 450 hitch. Directions were clear. I liked the sturdiness of the carrier. Very solid with no wobble even over our Santa Fe, NM roads. I have included an extra mystery part picture. Let me know where it goes.
I am so happy I chose this rack. As described, this rack is lightweight. For me this was a major concern due to limited strength. If I can lift it then most anyone can. It is well made and sturdy and looks heavier than it is. When folded, it takes up very little space. It will fit in the back of an SUV or trunk. Due to this design and lightweight it is easy to put in the hitch receiver. Even if I only use it to get the bike to and from the bike shop it is well worth it. Can't go wrong.

Yakima FullSwing Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
Installation today was pretty straight forward. We had no problems. It may require two people to install the bike rack onto the hitch because it is pretty heavy. But, as a 41 yo woman I was able to attach the bike rack to the hitch by myself. We haven't used it yet to transport our bikes, but I imagine that will be seamless too.
I bought this hitch carrier to bring 4 bikes on a 1200 mile round trip for a 2 week vacation. I used to spend more to rent bikes than the cost of the hitch. I purchased this during a Labor Day sale last year thinking if I used it once it would pay for itself. I spent the xtra $$ on the swing feature and am glad I did as it allowed me to load bikes whenever I needed and get to the rear of our SUV at any time. Works flawlessly! I have a THULE roof carrier (love it) but when I went to Dicks to check out the THULE ‘s securing rubber ties, I realized they were pretty hard to secure whereas the Yakima zip ties are easy. Hitch lock was easy and built in bike lock made made everything secure. Would buy again, recommend to anyone!

Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting
Assembled this in 60 minutes! Looking forward to using it this weekend. Working with etrailer was awesome and the item quickly shipped. Great experience!
I installed this rack onto a Curt trailer hitch which is mounted onto a 2017 Honda Fit. I have been using it intermittently for several months, probably about 5 times with one bike and twice with two bikes. I give some pros and cons below and then elaborate. Pros: easy to assemble, easy to mount and dismount bikes, easy to lock and unlock, how to put the rack into different positions is intuitive Cons: inconvenient to put the rack into different positions, inconvenient to mount the rack onto the hitch, rack protrudes about 15 inches from bumper when in flipped up position (seems very vulnerable to someone backing into it in a parking lot, very inelegant looking I say the repositioning is intuitive because there is really only one way you could possibly place the pins for each position. But removing and replacing two pins is much less convenient than turning a knob or a lever, like some racks do. Also many racks fold and flip in such a way as to look very unobtrusive when in non-use mode. This one looks like kind of a monstrosity. That does not really bother me but it might bother some owners. The part that does bother me is how far it protrudes from the car. I back into parking spaces whenever possible to avoid someone bumping into the rack and damaging it (which happened to a friend). My number one suggestion for Curt is related to mounting the rack onto the hitch. Make it easier to tell when the holes are lined up so that the bolt/pin will fit and thread. As it is now, if you insert the rack as far as it can go it is way too far in. Ideally, it would be exactly lined up. Failing that, maybe some kind of click or other feedback to know at least that you are in the neighborhood. It would also be great to have an attaching device that is easier to fasten and unfasten than is the bolt/pin. Tip for mounting the rack onto the hitch: I assumed that it would be awkward to hold, what is it 46 pounds?, while trying to line up the rack probe with the receiver. If you have a garage with exposed collar ties, my solution could work well for you. I looped a cargo strap over a collar tie. Then I hooked both hooks of a bungie onto that loop. The idea is that you hook one of the bike frame holders of the rack onto the bungie, suspending the rack a few inches off the garage floor. This takes most of the weight of the rack so that you can just pull up or down and forward until you line up with the receiver. Tip for mounting bikes. Don't put the little screw into the post that prevents you from completely removing the bike frame holders. Remove both holders. Position the first bike, slide the holder into place, position the second bike, slide the holder into place. I found this makes it much easier, because you avoid parts of the bike hitting the holder as you are trying to get the wheels into place. The trick is that if you are mounting only one bike, don't forget to put the second holder back on - or maybe just stick it inside the car right away.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
This rack has worked well for us. I fits the Curt hitch perfectly. It is easy to attach bicycles securely. We can get three adult bicycles on this hitch (see photo). There are sufficient means to protect against sway.
This Curt bike carrier is ideal for my front hitch that I recently installed on my 2005 GMC. I had to remove my front tag holder for clearance but it works perfectley. It can be easily removed and installed on the back hitch when I'm not towing my camper. This is a well built and solid bike carrier. It was delivered very timely and well packaged.

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!

Fit Check: Saris Glide EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're going to be test fitting the Saris Glide EX 4-Bike Rack for inch-and-a-quarter and two-inch hitches, part number: SA774.Now this is a pretty unique bike rack when it comes to the hanging style. This can fit up to four bikes, but this can also kind of glide or slide away from the vehicle with all four bikes still attached to gain rear-hatch access, which is very unique for a hanging style. Most that do actually do that, swing away as opposed to glide out.To glide it out, we have this convenient handle in the back. You pull that in and let it come out, like so. Now we have total-hatch access to get what we need, and more than enough space to do so. We'll just reverse that process to bring it back, and push it back in place til you hear a little bit of a click.The cradles themselves are stationary, and it's going to grip at three points.
Fit Check: Testing Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe we're going to be test fitting the Yakima Ridgeback 4 Bike Rack for 1 1/4" and 2" Hitches. Part number Y02458. We have a bike installed on our rack already. Let's go ahead and take a little closer look here.Starting out with the arms working on the outsides in, at the ends of both arms we're gonna have these patented Yakima bottle openers, so you can have a cold one after a ride on the trail. The cradles are stationary meaning they can't move back and forth, or side to side. However, they do have this TPE padding on the tops here.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
Today on our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack, part number TH912XTR. We already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go ahead and take a closer look and showoff some of the features. First thing I'd like to show is that the cradles themselves are adjustable along the length of the bike rack arms to accommodate different size bikes and style bikes. Also how it's attached to the rack, we have 3 points of contact with the bike's frame. We have 2 up at the top here and 1 off to the side here. That's going to serve as an anti sway strap to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth. Let's go ahead and take the bike off and set it aside.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe th9029xt
Today on this 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Vertex 4-Bike rack, part number TH9029XT. We already have a bike installed. Let's go ahead and show off some of the features and take a closer look. First thing that I'd like to point out is that does have this integrated cable lock here in the center of the mast. This would be pulled, wrap around the bikes, and attach it to this end point here, then locked to ensure greater security and preventing theft and tampering of your bikes. How the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have three points of contact with the bike's frame. We're going to have two straps up at the top here and then one off to the side here, and that's going to serve as an anti-swing strap to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth.
