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.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
was able to attach the bike rack to my 2020 equinox without any problems. Right now only 1 bike on it but will have another one later. Ready for a "glow roll."
Excellent bike rack. Got it together and heading to the trail in 15 minutes and the whole rack is solid (no looseness at the hitch) and the bike is secured tightly. Bike sits raised at or above the height of my step bumper on the Ford Ranger that it is attached to. Does not touch tailgate but with the bike in the inner position the tailgate and campershell cannot be opened at all. Easy to use a cable lock. The only real negative is that with the rack bolted into the reciever hitch (which DOES get rid of all rattle) it is necessary to use a wrench to take the rack off the truck. So, I will be using the bolt for long trips and a standard hitch pin for daily rides on the trail. I would buy this again because of the great bang for the buck and because it is solid, well made, and secure.

Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
As someone with extensive manufacturing experience, I can say this is a sturdy and robust product that will work well for anyone who can follow directions and mount bikes correctly on it. Having said that, there are a few items people should be aware of that can cause users some issues. The included “ramp” is not tall enough to work with a standard size pick up’s trailer hitch. I have a dodge ram 1500 series and the rack sits way too high when mounted on the truck hitch for the ramp to even touch the ground. If you plan on using a standard size pick up or a suburban or Denali type vehicle and are planning on using with heavier bikes or ebikes, buy the longer ramp made by Thule to help with getting your bikes on the rack. It costs about $[XX] and won’t nest inside the rack like the shorter one. But if you have heavier bikes or have issues lifting your bike, it’s a must have. In my opinion, Thule should have designed it with the longer ramp to start with to accommodate standard size trucks and SUV’s but it is what it is. The mounting struts take a bit of getting used to in order to configure properly to fit your bikes. Make sure you aligned your pedals and frame so that the bike nearest the back of the vehicle doesn’t rub against the frame of the rack before locking the bike into place. Once you find the proper pedal alignment for your particular bike, everything clamps down nicely and is very sturdy. Overall, aside from the ramp issue adding another $[XX] to the cost of the rack, I’m pleased and it should last for years. The locks are a nice feature as well. Protects your rack and your bikes from theft.
We have 2 electric bikes, one of which weighs 66 lbs. so I was looking for a rack with ramps. This also has wheels to transport the rack from garage to car without having to carry it. Let me tell you, the wheels made this rack worth every penny.Lot of racks have ramps, this is the only one I found with wheels and they are a game changer. Once the wedge is tightened into the hitch there is no play/wobble at all.

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Very nice bike carrier for my Radrover E-Bike. Very well engineered!!
Excellent bike rack. Easy to put together. Fits perfect with the etrailer curt hitch. This is a heavy duty bike rack, which also means it heavy but still manageable. Using this for my Aventon Ebike.

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Super easy to load 4 bikes and go. Takes me 5 minutes to get all 4 on the rack, compared to 15-20 with the rack I had before. I would change nothing honestly. It's a fantastic rack. It has performed great. I can now quickly load 2 kids bikes and 2 adult bikes on the rack with no special adapters. We can hit trails faster and spend more time riding. There is no real downside. It's also significantly cheaper than competitors and provides a much easier and smooth experience. Is it a great rack for small families who want to ride together. No adapters needed for different sized bikes and super easy to load and unload. I would not recommend this particular model if you don't plan on using more than 2 slots. But for 3 or 4 it rules.
One year in and it is great. I have a 2021 Subaru accent and it is perfect. We carry 4 adult bikes and while it is a tight fit it works great. The rack is VERY solid and does not move when tightened up. Over the past year we have used it 3-4 times with no issues so far. It is easy to use and one person can easily load and unload the bikes. The tilt up feature is nice and when the rack is down and there are no bikes we can open the back hatch without an issue and there is plenty of clearance. We have been very happy with the performance and the price.

Now it doesn't completely eliminate that movement, but it will help with the bike contact. With this being a hanging style rack, we do wanna keep a couple things in mind.

Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Ford Ranger sa772
Adam: What's going on, everybody, Adam, with etrailer today, we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX 2 hanging style bike rack on our 2019 Ford Ranger.So this is the two bike version, but we do have a four-bike rack version, which comes in three different colors, blue, bronze, and black. And then we also have a five bike rack version that just comes in one color, but just know that you do have that option and we're going to have all the same features for all of them.So, but for today, we're going to just focus on the two hanging style bike rack. And this is one of the three tie-down points we're going to have.We're going to have two here up top, and we're going to have one down here and it's going to be our anti-sway cradle. And that's just going to limit that bike to bike contact that you get whenever you're going down the road.And one thing to note with this one, which you're not going to get with a lot of hanging style bike racks is the distance between them. It's quite a bit almost about a foot between both of our bikes.So if you have some higher end bikes that aren't carbon fiber bikes, because we don't like to hang those, but if you have some of those types of bikes and you really don't want them hitting each other, I do think this is going to be one of your best bets to make sure that doesn't happen.So let's go ahead and start with the second really awesome feature about this. And that's the fact that we can actually tilt this with the bikes installed.
What our customers are saying:
"I purchased a hitch, wiring harness, bike carrier and bike adapter for a newly redesigned 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything arrived in a matter of days and either fit or worked perfectly. Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
