Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The product was very easy to install. I had it done in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. The system is very sturdy and functions as designed. The only comment I would improve is the ability to remove the carrier from the trailer hitch without having to carry a 3/4 inch wrench with you.
This bike rack has been perfect for a college student. She leaves it on her Cherokee year-round, it's easy to get the bike on and off, and she's been very satisfied with the rack.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great product and service to match! Ordering on the website was a breeze, with recommendations for my particular vehicle and many images and videos to aid in selection and installation. I returned a different hitch to a big box store due to subpar quality and ordered this one instead. I am very pleased with my purchase and the experience.
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.

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Seems like a good rack for the price, especially when compared to others with the same weight rating. It was very easy to assemble, just a few bolts and that's it. I put two 62lb e-bikes on it (Ride1Up Turris) and it has minimal wobble and movement as expected. The straps that come on the center cradles were too short to go around our bike's frame and battery so I had to purchase a separate set of long straps from Saris for an additional $20. So be aware if you have an e-bike with a fat frame where you plan to use the cradle on, you might have to spend another $20 on a pair of long straps. While I waited for the straps I just used a velcro-strap and it worked fine. So far I am content with this rack overall and hope it lasts many years.. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I had to purchase additional straps to make it work.
I had to put my electric bikes into this rack, backwards, to make them fit. Not ideal, but it works.The receiving 'trays' that are intended to provide support for holding the bikes, by being placed under the bike tires, are forced to be moved to a location that is not directly under the bottom of the bike tires. While it works in this manner, it is not ideal.For the support that attaches to the diagonal bike frame, we had to remove it from the vertical rail of the rack. We reinstalled it, upside down, because that's the only way we could make it fit, or 'grab', the bike frame. Again, we made it work, but it's not ideal. We chose to keep the rack because it was so much less expensive than the Thule rack we considered buying. The bike shop owner didn't agree with us. He observed that we are putting $3000 worth of bikes on the rack and risking that investment. So far, no problems, other than the ill-fitting installation.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Got it delivered yesterday. Opened the box and it was fully assembled. All i had to do was open the box and set it into the hitch. Got it all setup within a couple of minutes (i drive a 16' Cherokee TH). Putting the bikes on and off was easy enough. Came across one issue during bike placement. My girlfriends bike is either oddly shaped or pretty small framed because i had trouble finding the right configuration for the strap to hold the bike without swaying. I also tried putting hers on first and that was difficult trying to get her bike to pass all of the straps and guide holders. Overall pretty satisfied with the product itself. Not much, if any at all, sway on the rack.
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.
How Does the Yakima BackRoad 4 Bike Rack Fit on a 2017 Jeep Cherokee?
Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Yakima Back Road 4 Bike Rack Carrier, here on our 2017 Jeep Cherokee. Now if you're looking a way of getting a multitude of bikes to the trailhead, hanging styles are definitely gonna be a great option for yourself. Things to keep in mind though, we are gonna start seeing a lot more sway on our bikes because we're only having these dual arm support system which is gonna do a really good job of making sure our bike isn't tilting side to side but because of our frame mounts and our frame is circular you are gonna get just a little bit of sway as we are go down the road. Now the BackRoad does have a lot of techniques to combat that sway. The biggest one being for me is we are getting seven inch spreads on each of our channel mounts here.

What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule T2 Pro on our 2017 Jeep Cherokee.
