Recumbent riders finally get a hitch rack that actually fits. The Swagman XC-Extended handles wheelbases up to 69" using the included silver XTC wheel hoops, while the black XC hoops cover standard setups up to 52". Both adjust with hand knobs to match each bike’s exact length, and rubber straps keep the wheels snug. Two recumbents, two regular bikes, or one of each—it’s ready for either.


Each bike locks in place with its own padded hook, gripping the frame without scuffs or scratches. The ratcheting arms move independently, so different bike shapes and tube styles load side-by-side with no fuss. Once set, the hooks stay tight for the drive, keeping everything stable even on bumpy routes.

When you need to reach your rear hatch or store the rack, pull a pin and fold the mast down or the trays up. Both actions take seconds and save space in the garage or driveway. The compact fold makes it easy to keep the rack mounted without it sticking out or getting in the way.


A threaded hitch pin and clip tighten the rack to the receiver, cutting out sway and vibration while you’re on the road. The removable aluminum sleeve lets you swap between 1-1/4" and 2" hitches without extra parts. This all-steel rack weighs 38 lbs, has a 35-lb capacity per bike, and features a rust-resistant black powder coat for long-term durability.

Load up two bikes and go—no balancing acts or complicated clamps. The platform design makes it easy to roll bikes into the wheel hoops, secure the hooks, and hit the road. Whether it’s recumbent miles or casual rides, the XC-Extended’s solid steel frame and 3" shank rise keep everything stable from start to finish.

I appreciate this feedback on the rack. I am glad it is fitting your bike and working well for you. This feedback is definitely something I will pass along to Swagman! I am glad it is working for you. How often are you able to get out with your bike?

This bike rack comes with a threaded hitch pin to help keep the rack from wobbling inside the hitch receiver, but if youre still seeing too much play, the Quiet Hitch # RM-061 anti-rattle device is another great option to remove slack between the shank and receiver. You could also try securing the top of the bike rack to your tow loops with a ratchet strap like part # 317-402400.

Wonderful! We are now carrying TWO recumbents on it. Will get a pic next time I have a chance. - Just to be clear though, there is a weight limit on the rack so make sure you watch that as some recumbent bikes can be heavy. We have Bacchetta Corsas, which are light and fall within the specs of the rack to carry both.

This is truly a nice product. It is light duty but easily handles 60lbs. After a year of use in all weather conditions there are no paint failure or corrosion issues. Great versatility!

I have two long wheel base recumbents. Would they both fit on the Swagman S64650 EXT? Wheel base is about 70 Thanks, Dale

Very pleased! I made an adjustment to reduce the wobbling. I adjusted the space between the tires of the bikes. I havent used the rack for my recumbant yet.

You mentioned that the bars are not long enough for your bike. Can you tell me what the wheel base measurement - the center from one wheel to the next wheel - is on your bike? Is it the length of the bike rack bar that is too short or the hooks?

I received the other box today every thing is good. I didnt realize that there were two boxes. It works great.
