Question:
I really like the idea of having the option to convert a 4 bike platform to a 2 bike platform. What are the major differences between this Swagman and the Curt C18087? Is it worth the additional cost to get this Swagman?

Expert Reply:
Curt is new to bike racks. Swagman has been making them for many, many years. So you can imagine where Curt might have drawn their inspiration from! Swagman makes a good rack for sure but with that said the simple design is hard to mess up so honestly I think you would be happy going with either rack. If the Curt bike rack, # C18087, is more within your budget then I am sure you will like it and that it will work well for you.
However, one of the biggest differences is the warranty for each rack. For the Curt it is 1 year limited warranty. For the Swagman it is a limited lifetime warranty. Personally if it was me I would go with the Swagman # S64FR.
