Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The whole experience is worth 5 out of 5 Stars! Everyone I spoke with at E-Trailer was very helpful and the product that was recommended fits fine and is a good value. There is only one thing about the Swagman XC bike rack that I'm not happy with and that is the ratchet locking on the clamp down arms. The release mechanism is hard to activate so if someone with out strong hands - like my wife for example - tried to release the arms to remove the bikes they would have lots of trouble. Swagman may want to consider changing this locking mechanism to a hand wheel so strong hands aren't required for release. I'm enclosing photos of the rack installed on my 2005 Acura MDX.
Well made, sturdy product. Easy to assembly and travels well with two bikes installed. Only minor issue is it was a little difficult to find a lock that would work well with the rack. But all-in-all a good 4+ Star purchase.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Solid unit; fairly easy to put together. Placing 4 bikes (2 adults, 2 kids) on rack is tight, but workable with adjustments to wheel hoops.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Very happy with this bike rack. Solid design that will last a long time. Easy to install and load bikes. Very sturdy and secure in all driving conditions. Good value. Would absolutely buy again.
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.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
This product does the little details that make it a great carrier. It has a snug adapter for the receiver that allows you to crank it tight to remove any wobbling along with others at the hinges that tighten the whole unit up solid. Very light for my wife to use. Beautifully finished, you would hate to see any scratches ever occur on it. Highly recommended.
I love how easy this was to set up and how easy it connects to the hitch. And because it's so lightweight, I can easily install it myself.
Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack Review - 2019 Acura MDX
Hi there MDX owners. Today in our 2019 Acura MDX, we're going to be taking a look at and test fitting Thule's Helium Pro two bike rack hanging carrier. These are also available in a three bike rack version here at etrailer.com. Now, I've currently got my grandpa's bike on here from the 80s, but it'll work great with any modern bike as well. It's held in place with three mounting locations, two on top, and one on the vertical beam here. And, the vertical beam helps prevent any sway, so there's no bike-to-bike or bike-to-rack contact.
Setting up the Thule Apex XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on your 2019 Acura MDX
Hi there, MDX owners. Today on your 2019 Acura MDX, we're going to be taking a look at and test fitting Thule's Apex 4, hanging bike rack carrier. Now we've currently got my grandpa's bike from the 80s on it, but it'll work with all modern bikes as well, too. So whether you're using a children's bike, or a mountain bike on it, it'll handle the job. I will say on some of your smaller children's bikes, you may need to use Thule's adapter bar in order to get it to mount properly.The bike's held in place with three points of contact. Each cradle has a rubberized surface on the bottom, so that way you don't have to worry about any scratches or abrasions.

Now we have it installed on our MDX here to give you a good idea of how it would look.
