Padded, Ratcheting Hooks
The XC's mast has a pair of ratcheting hooks that hold your bikes securely by the top tube. And because they move independently, you can carry bikes of different shapes and sizes. The hooks have soft padding that won't scratch or scuff your bike's paint.
Sliding Wheel Hoops
The rack has wheel hoops that provide a stable base for mounting your bikes. Each hoop has a hand knob that lets you easily slide it along the tray to accommodate your bike's wheelbase.
Folding Design
You can fold the mast down for easy access to your hatch. Simply pull the pin at the base of the mast and fold it down in either direction. You can also fold the trays up against the mast for storage. Just pull the pins at the junctions where the trays meet the rack, fold the trays up, and reinsert the pins into the provided holes.
Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin and Removable Adapter Sleeve
The rack includes a threaded hitch pin and a clip that work with a built-in anti-wobble device in the shank to eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. You can replace the pin and clip with an anti-rattle lock (sold separately) to secure the bike carrier to your vehicle. It also has a removable aluminum sleeve that lets you convert the rack for use in 1-1/4" hitches.

It works great! Easy, quick, you know. One needs to screw in the hitch bolt, for some reason, before latching it. Other than that, it makes going bike riding way easier.
by: Steve01/19/2023
I like the overall design of this rack, but unfortunately after hauling a couple bikes around for a while the point where the crossbar connects has apparently rounded off so the rack swings back and forth. I've used rope to tie the ends of the rack to the car to stop this from getting worse, but it's inconvenient. Note: the hitch connection itself is good and solid, but the point where the crossbar connects to the bar coming from the hitch has gotten loose and there's no way that I can see to tighten it.

I hear you! It looks like there are bolts where the crossbar connects to the bar that goes to the hitch. If you tighten those back down, that will take care of that extra movement.

I was advised to tighten up some bolts on the hitch and that resolved most of the sway I had been noticing. The rack has been working great ever since.

I own a 2005 Jeep Wrangler X with 31x10.5x15 oversized tires and
wheels. I installed B6196001 HighRock 4x4 Oversize Tire Carrier
by Bestop to carry larger spare tire.
I needed a bike carrier that would carry our two crusier bikes and
clear my spare tire. After measuring, I ordered:
-> S64650 - Swagman 2-bike carrier
-> 80300 - 7" Hitch Adapter 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
-> RM-061 - Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches
Our order arrived very quickly, etrailer.com upgraded the shipping.
All these products arrived well packaged and without damage.
In 15 minutes I had every thing assembled, installed on my Jeep
and bikes loaded.
The bike carrier is very well constructed, finish is excellent and
easy to adjust.
When adjusting wheel loops and loading bikes, make sure you
pay attention to bike pedal position.
I chose this extension because I did not want to use the adapter
that comes with the bike carrier, I wanted as few parts as possible
to keep rattles to a minimum and gives me more options for towing.
The anti-rattle bolt/pin firmly secures the bike carrier to the
extension and the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch keeps the extension
adapter from rattling in the receiver.
Road tested approximately 25 miles over rough city roads
( including railroad tracks ), county roads and highway.
Bikes traveled very well without any rattles.
I can remove my complete setup quickly, fold and put in rear of
Jeep if desired.
I am very well pleased with my purchase.
Note to etrailer: Please consider offering Roadmaster Quiet Hitch
in black to match receiver and accessories.

I have confirmed with Swagman, and this rack will work with bikes with 20 to 29 inch tires.

I had ordered a Swagman bike rack from etrailer and they let me know it would take over a month to get it since the manufacturer was trying to catch up. They recommended another model by Swagman that they had in stock and it was less expensive. I got it promptly and the suggested product will work fine for us. The best thing about ordering from etrailer is that you can get video demonstrations of the product before buying, they show you add ons you might want but don't have to buy-and they have them. They will talk to you about the product and their shipping (at least right now) is free. With the products they sell, their customer service really tops Another online retailer and other retailers in my opinion. Great people to do business with.

The Swagman XC2 was Shipped same day I ordered it and I received it within 2 days. I put it together easily and tested it with my bike. It was the easiest and most stable bike rack I have ever owned. Kudos to etrailer for their service and Swagman for the product. ABSOLUTELY NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!!

Nice & sturdy the bikes don't rattle around loke other racks that use the bar
by: Jim07/09/2020
Easily fit two bikes and no clearance issues around the car. Rack feels sturdy and assembly was easy. The bike closest to the car restricts trunk access but otherwise trunk opens with just one bike.

ZERO STARS! Do not buy this rack unless you have a bike with a flat cross bar or little tires like the pictures show. I was made a turn to get on the highway and my bike didnt. With an angled top tube nothing keeps the bike in place when it pulls out to the side.

I recommend using a bike adapter bar such as part # HRBA-PRO to create the straight that will attach to under the bike handle and under the seat. Or choosing a bike rack like part # HLY94FR which will attach to the bike frame that you have and also allows for the wheels to be strapped down.

Thank you for the review. I recommend to use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2 Trailer Hitches part RM-061 if you have a 2 hitch. If you have a 1-14 hitch you can use part RM-061-125. The Quiet Hitch will tighten up the space between the shank of the bike rack and the hitch receiver to eliminate some of the rattle.

I am still using it, and please consider what I am going to say before buying or using it. When taking this rack with bike on it offroad the upside down J hook that holds the bike down rattles out of place. This means that the bike is no longer secure. The paint on my bike wore down to the aluminum where the padding rubbed against it. I hit a big bump on the pavement and pulled over to find that the J hook was now barely touching the bike - almost lost the bike just because I hit a bump - not cool.
The fix is that I took a foam noodle and use that covered in tape between the pad on the J hook and the bike frame (no more rubbing away paint). I also use a strap with a buckle, buckling it around the bike and bike rack top bar, with the other end tied to the bike rack bottom bar. It's perfect like that.

So, the rack is now a bike stand in my garage and has been replaced. If you hit a bump in the road it will compress your tires and suspension, then upon the rebound the J hook pops up and now the bike is rattling around. If you have a second bike on it like I did and that happens the pedal on one bike may scratch the heck out of the other brand new bike and cause irreparable damage. I tried tie downs, padding, and even duct tape to prevent this. The model that I got is useless.

That is so sad to hear. Swagman is generally beloved by most of our customers. I hope your other hitch works better for you! You definitely should not let it just sit in your garage taking up space.
by: TROY04/05/2021
I use this bike rack to haul a recumbent bicycle on the front of my truck. It works excellent! My son also has on which he hauls his mountain bike on the back of his car. My son uses the 1.25" hitch and I use the 2" adapter both work very well.
by: Mike05/12/2023
We had a Thule that broke twice. This Swagman has lot less movement when driving, is easier to load and was less than half the price. We like that it is all metal and and simple.

After a year of extensive use we are very pleased with this rack. it its simple, easy and durable. We drive an electric Chevy Bolt, so weight is important. We can open the hatch with the rack folded up got to pull it back just a tad.. We have had fancy brand bike racks, but this our favorite.
by: Clifton 08/24/2022
Reasonable price and strong. Moves a little bit in the hitch but not excessive.
Biggest complaint is the lever for the hold down bracket for the bike can be a little difficult to release and adjust.
Clifton
10/28/2023
Still use it regularly, my previous notes are still valid. The adjustment for the wheels can be a little tricky to get tight enough so they dont move if you use them to lift the unit
by: Jim 03/05/2024
The bike rack is solid and was easy to put together (just follow the pictures and use common on a couple of small parts). Speedy delivery was also nice. Perfect. Thanks.
by: Charles 08/17/2022
Haved crossed the USA twice now with inexpensive mountain bikes on this rack and it's been 5-stars all the way. Plus, we use it 3times a week to haul the bikes to the our kid's mountain bike team practive. It's an expensive rack, but Tough. Solid. Simple. In a word: Great. In the winter, to keep it from rusting (they salt the roads around here) I spray it with T-9 and 3 years later, it's 100% rust-free.

Fantastic for the price! It isn’t very beefy, but packs away fairly small and it’s easy to install. We use it a lot and are extremely satisfied. I think some people don’t tighten the bolt that goes through the hitch enough? I can still open the doors on the van if it’s not loaded with the bikes.BTW Good customer service.

A few people have commented to me about wanting my rack because it was lighter than there hard to handle rack.
by: Michael11/26/2017
AFFORDABLE, TOUGH, EASY, LIGHT.
Low profile as well.
I drive a 2016 Fiesta ST and mountain bike a fair amount. I love this thing. Only hard part is getting the tow hitch you need in addition to this rack to fit my car properly.
Luckily this site has a great video of install.
Two person job...and you'll need a modified exhaust hanger(s) to have the stock muffler clear the hitch. Otherwise it will rattle ya silly.
Michael
11/26/2018
It’s still kicking. I leave It on all the time and my Fiesta ST has a VERY stiff suspension so for all is well after another year! I should Probably spray some sort of protectant on the unit but all is still functioning just fine: Thanks again!
by: Tim H. Tran05/30/2018
After setting up my new bike rack, I found that the "universal tow hitch adapter" that's used for bigger tow hitches such as my Toyota Tacoma didn't seem to compliment entirely.
Attached pictures, you will see that the locking bolt and along with the cotter pin to secure the locking bolt onto the tow hitch doesn't quite reach through all the way across. Therefore, I wasn't able to insert the cotter pin through the locking bolt and couldn't safely secure my bike rack to the tow hitch of my Tacoma.
I know the Toyota Tacoma is a very popular vehicle and I recommend all future orders be replaced with a much longer locking bolt (at least 1/2 inch longer) to accommodate truck owners like me.
On the contrary, the bike rack does manage to fit onto my Mazda5 Minivan when utilizing the smaller tow hitch (without the universal tow hitch adapter for Class 3 Receiver). The bike rack is very versatile when loading bikes of various sizes and folds up to stow away very conveniently. Overall, great product!!
Mike L.

The problem youre experiencing is occurring because the factory hitch on the Tacoma has an extra piece of reinforcement wrapped around the mouth of the receiver tube. This extra piece of metal adds about a 1/4 inch of width to the receiver, which is why the pin wont go in far enough for the retaining clip to fasten. Swagman doesnt offer a longer standard hitch pin, but they do offer a locking model that would be long enough, part # S64029 which has a 4-3/8 inch span. Ill link you to this part below. Swagman has assured me that this part will work for you.

The Swagman XC2 is a terrific hitch rack for 1 or 2 bikes: stable, easy to load/unload, and affordable. In my first month of ownership I have traveled 400 miles with the rack loaded and it has been rock solid. Adjustments are easy for bikes with different wheelbases and the rack folds into a very compact package when not in use - it does not significantly impair rear vision. Trunk access can be limited when the bikes are on the rack and there's no built-in locking mechanism to secure the bikes to the rack, but overall this rack is a great value.

A year has passed and Im still very satisfied. This summer I took 2 bikes on a road trip of more than 2,000 miles and had no problems with the rack.
by: J Lance06/30/2012
I really like this bike rack. Easy to assemble. East to mount on my 2004 Chevy Tracker. I also found it easy to mount my two bikes. I was concerned about clearance from the spare tire, but as you can see there is plenty of clearance. In fact the bikes don't touch anything else. I also purchased the velcro straps to secure the bike wheels to the wheel mount.

Yes Lance. Does this picture show a ladies bike? Were you able to mount a ladies bike step in model without an adaptor?

Short-term review: Bought this for a 2002 Subaru Forester with 1-1/4" hitch receiver. Very easy & quick to install. Just after receiving it, installed it and threw my mt. bike on it, drove round-trip 240 miles to ride with some buddies, and no problems whatsoever; the rack felt solid. I do put a cam cinch strap around the bike & rack as redundancy, but the rack's ratcheting hold-down hook does stay down very well and holds the bike down tight. Great value too, as most of the other name-brand racks are two to three times the cost. One thing to note: I cannot open the hatch of the Subaru with the rack on. If you have a car with a hatch with an opening rear window, you can probably still open the window. I am OK with this for the price of the rack. It's very quick to take off the bike(s; just a 3/4" box wrench or socket to remove the hitch pin and then the rack. With a socket & adapter for a cordless drill, I can remvove the rack from the car in about 20 seconds; with a socket wrench, under a minute. Definitely happy with this purchase! Oh yeah, etrailer's customer service is awesome!

FYI, after one year of use, Im still very happy with this bike rack. A clarification on my initial review from 111921: Although I cannot open the hatch with two bikes on, I can open the the hatch with only one bike on the rear-most of the two bike trays. Again, it takes only seconds to remove each bike, and the center post folds down with a simple pin removal. On a side note, I even designed a simple bike rack for our boat kayak racks, using the center post and ratcheting hooks and a wood base that I made. This way, I can take the bikes down to the marina on the bike rack, remove the center post and ratcheting hooks, transfer this to my homemade wood base, and voila, I have a similar setup on our boat, all for a fraction of what two two-bike bike racks from Thule, Yakima, etc. would cost.

Great bike rack that works well on my 2016 Prius. Easy to use and I can still open the rear door on the Prius with the bike on the rack. I regularly take my bike when I go hiking in the Smokies to ride between trailheads. Quality product at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this product.

Ive used the bike rack more than a dozen times and it still works great. The only issue I had was while driving on a dirt road I hit a large bump in the road and the bike bounced off the back of the car. Fortunately I was driving slow and there wasnt any damage to the bike or rack. After that incident I started using a short bungee cord around each wheel to secure them to the rack and keep the bike from bouncing if I hit a bump.
by: Maryj R.03/02/2017
This rack was grandma-easy to assemble and install. Bikes are so easy to load & unload, and there is plenty of clearance from both the ground and from the car to the nearest bike. The bikes are very secure, this is the first rack I've owned or used that I have real confidence in. Customer service was great and delivery was really quite fast. Perfect for my 2009 Nissan Sentra.

I recommend moving the rack up and down slightly as you tighten that threaded bolt. That should secure the shank to your hitch.

Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance needed to clear the spare tire. If that distance is less than 10-1/2 inches the rack will fit. I have included a link to an article that explains how to take the measurement.

That is because the replacement shank # SP474 designed to replace the current shank is a direct replacement of the same length. We also do not carry a shorter shank that is engineered to work with the Dispatch. With that being said, the only option is to get a shorter rack measured from the pinhole to the farthest edge of the carrier....

Since one bike is a woman's bike you will want the Kuat Uber Adapter Bar # UB01 to keep it level.

This is because the Swagman # S64650 is a frame mounted rack, where Carbon framed and Custom painted bikes require a wheel mounted rack to avoid wear on the cross tube on top of the frame which traditional bikes do not experience due to being made of a different material.

You are correct that this hitch, somewhat uniquely, mounts to the car's trunk pan and body.

view full answer... - How Much Does the Swagman XC 2 Bike Rack Weigh?The Swagman XC 2 Bike Rack, # S64650, weighs right around 25 lbs.

This bike rack weighs only 20 lbs, it is a step up in quality and I really like the mounting clamps versus the frame hooks of the XC bike rack so a frame adapter won't be needed for women's bikes with step-through frames. I can also tell...
view full answer... - How Much Does The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack S64650 Weigh?The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64650 you were looking at weighs in at 25lbs and accommodate two bikes weighing up to 35lbs each with tires up to 2-1/2" wide. If your bike happens to have tires wider than 2-1/2" you can use the Swagman Fat Bike Tire Wheel Adapter # S64674 to accommodate tires up to 5" wide. I included a video of the Swagman # S64650 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Does Weight Capacity of the Bike Bunk Include the Weight of the Bike Rack and BikesYes, the 100 pound capacity of the Bike Bunk, # CC-275, is 100 pounds. that would include the weight of the bike rack and the bikes. Also, you have to use a bike rack that is rated for use on a trailer. Not all bike racks are rated for this purpose. I have included a link to the ones that are. I recommend you also look at the weight of each rack because that is included in the 100 lb capacity rating of the Bike Bunk. For instance, you may want to consider the Swagman XC # S64650 which...

view full answer... - Recommended Swagman Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack to Use on RVThere are few differences between the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 and the XCT-2 # S64670 referenced in your question, but the most pertinent difference specific to your application is that the XC # S64650 is approved for use on an RV like your Tiffin Allegro, while the XCT-2 # S64670 is not rated for this type of use. Because the rear bumper on an RV extends much further back from the rear axle on an RV when compared to a standard passenger vehicle, there will be a lot more movement...
view full answer... - Could Swagman XC2 Bike Rack be Used With Bike that Weighs Between 34 and 36 lbsYou might try a more consistent scale as a 2 lb fluctuation is pretty big. Most likely you are seeing 36 lbs as an exaggerated figure like if the bike was pushed on it slightly though so I would assume you'd be under the weight capacity of the XC2 part # S64650. This also works with your 44 inch wheelbase and angled frame top tube.
view full answer... - Ground Clearance Troubleshooting on Front Mount with Swagman XC2 Bike Rack6 inches of ground clearance would be enough clearance if you were only planning on traveling on very smooth roads without hills or steep driveways. If your current rack # S64650 has the straight shank on it the # P306 would give it an additional 3 inches of rise so you would be up to 9 inches of clearance. The # D210 would give you an additional 6 inches of rise, but would also push the rack out an additional 7-1/2 inches. You will need to consider the roads you plan to travel on to determine...
view full answer... - Recommended Class I Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid LiftbackI checked with Curt about the proper hitch fit for your 2015 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid Liftback and their 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch # C11200 is a confirmed fit. Your hybrid is definitely going to have visible differences from the non-hybrid CT200, so this is not cause for concern. Do note that when this hitch is installed on your car the tow hooks will be permanently removed. Curt rates this hitch as an easy installation. All the necessary hardware is included and I have linked the written instructions...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mount Platform Bike Rack For 2010 Toyota RAV4 For Rear Door ClearanceBoth of the bike racks you referenced, the Swagman XC, part # S64650, and the Hollywood Trail Rider, part # HR200Z, have shanks attached that have a rise which does add more height to the bike rack and would cause more clearance issues for your 2010 Toyota RAV4 swinging rear door. I went to out warehouse and took a couple of measurements for you. The pivot base attached to the top of the shank on the bike carriers measures about 4-1/2 inches. If you add that to the rise of 5 inches on...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2006 BMW X3 that Can Not Use a Trunk Mount Bike RackI do have a solution for you but first I did some checking and Yakima trunk mounted racks are not recommended for your 2006 BMW X3 because the vehicle is unable to support the weight at the point where the carrier must be placed. The other manufacturers also exclude the 2006 X3. I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using a hitch mounted bike rack. For a trailer hitch I recommend # 13573. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. I have linked a video showing an example installation...
view full answer... - Can Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2014 Dodge Ram 4 x 4 Be Used for Bike CarrierYes, you can use a front mounted trailer hitch receiver like the Curt # 31374 on your 2014 Dodge Ram 4 x 4 for a bike rack. This hitch offers a 2 inch receiver so I have included a link to all of the bike racks that will work with the 2 inch opening. If you would like to send me an email with the number and styles of bikes that you are looking to transport, I would be happy to make some specific recommendation for you. For example, if you are looking to transport just two bicycles, I suggest...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack Recommendation To Carry One Mountain Bike On A 1998 Volkswagen BeetleOn your 1998 Volkswagen Beetle I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24679. This is a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch that has a maximum tongue weight rating of 200 lbs. You will only be able to carry a maximum of two bikes on a Class I hitch. Since you are looking to only carry one bike this hitch will work fine for you. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Draw-Tite hitch. The Swagman XC 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650, is a good choice to carry...
