Swagman Hitch Bike Racks P160 Review

Video Transcript for Swagman Hitch Bike Racks P160 Review

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number P160, these are the replacement top and bottom vinyl inserts for the Swagman XP series bike rack cradles. These pads are going to install quickly and easily. They just snap into place on the top and bottom cradle. They're going to help protect your bike frame and finish during travel. Now if your cradles are aging, or if they're starting to crack and really wear down, these replacements are going to be perfect for you. It's going to include one top and bottom vinyl insert for a complete cradle pad replacement.

You'll see here how each pad is going to have the nice groove indentions. That's going to accommodate any cables that you may have running on the top or bottom part of your bike frame. Now again these are designed to fit the Swagman XP series bike rack cradles. Nice, flexible construction, once they're in place, they're really going to help absorb any pressure or movement that your bike may experience during travel. It's going to make sure that the pad absorbs that and not the frame of your bike. That's going to do it for our review of part number P160.

Again these are the replacement top and bottom vinyl inserts for the Swagman XP series bike rack cradles. .

the carrier is still doing its job. bought back in 2003 and use it all summer.

by: Bryan 04/07/2015

The original liner on my bike rack cradle was lost. I thought I would have to spend a lot of money buying a whole new cradle so I was very relieved to have found this replacement cradle liner on etrailer. The price was excellent as was the service. George let me know when my order shipped and I received it right on time. The liner was packaged securely and was exactly as shown in the picture. It is an exact match for the liner I lost. Now I can load up my family's bikes just in time for the beautiful spring weather. I will definitely order from etrailer again. What a great buying experience!

The parts I ordered were fine but the Swagman tire mount bike carrier rusted through at the mounting bracket and fell off after a few years so I never got to use the new parts I ordered.

by: Jean-Francois 11/17/2020

I have a very good old bike rack that use a lot for 15 years. after all those year some rubert par where damage and a metal part was missing. I decide to buy original repalcement parts from etrailer at a very good price. They where back order for one month and half. I have a very good folow by the team. IM JF from Montreal Canada and supper happy about etrailer.

by: Frank D. 10/01/2017

I'm very happy with the product, and very happy that I was even able to still find the vinyl inserts for the Swagman XP Series Bike Carrier after all the years that I've owned the Hidden Hitch bike carrier. Shipping was expedited promptly and the cost was very reasonable. I'll order a couple more of the item for future use.

by: Cristobal 01/03/2019 One Year Later

I've owned a Swagman bike carrier for several years, the original vinyl inserts had worn out and I needed replacements. I found them at e/trailer, now my bike carrier is once again like new. Customer service was great, including this one-year follow up customer satisfaction survey.

by: Bret 05/20/2022 One Year Later

Great replacement part that made our older bike rack work like new again. So grateful replacement parts like this are still available. The rubber seems "thicker" than the original, but maybe the original was just worn.

by: Frank 10/01/2018 One Year Later

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could still purchase parts for my etrailer bicycle carrier after about fifteen years of ownership. I'm well satisfied with the carrier inserts. The old ones became deteriorated from the sum so had to be replaced, and the carrier itself is still in excellent shape. Thank you.

by: James L. 08/06/2015

These replacement pads fit perfectly, some instructions would have been helpful but I eventually figured out the easy way to install them. Place the little locking tab directly over the hole in the tray and using a 4" long 3/8" drive extension from your tool box, press down firmly with the blunt end and the tab pops right through.

by: Linda 05/30/2018

Product was exactly as pictured and described. Replacement pads fit perfectly into existing metal framework. Bike rack is just like new. Saved us from having to purchase a whole new rack.

by: Joe A. 12/06/2017

My Swagman Carrier was purchased in 2005 from etrailer and still works great. However, over time, the inserts began to wear. These replacements fit my Carrier exactly and are very easy to install. My Carrier is now just like new. Thanks so much" etrailer" for having these available.

Thanks Again.....

by: Jim R 12/10/2013

Once I found the site, was able to order replacement pads and not have to scrap my bike rack for a newer version. Thanks for your fast efficient service,

Nice to see that this company still provides rubber cradles for a 15-year old bike rack. I like having that kind of long-term after-market support.

by: Mark W 07/17/2013

I had lost one of my cradles for my bike carrier. It was easy to find the replacement and place the order. I received exactly what I was needing.

by: Robert 11/28/2018

These are exact replacements for the old drawtite XP bike rake which I guess is the same as the newer swagman. E-trailer as usual was perfect and delivery was as expected.

by: Robert 02/06/2018

I have an older Swagman XP bike rack that needed the rubber holders replaced. These holders fit perfectly. I am pleased these parts were still available.

by: Lou A 01/17/2017 One Year Later

These replacement pieces were exactly what originally came on my bike rack. I am very happy with them.

by: alicia h. 12/20/2013

so nice to be able to quickly find, order, and recieve the replacement parts I needed. Since it seems I keep driving away without tightening the knobs down on my bike rack, its good to know etrailer can help me - Im a repeat customer!
