Question:

One of my bikes is Norco Fluid FS1 which has 2.6inch wide tire and 29inch dia. Will the bike fit or do I need to purchase the fat tire hoops?

I have a solution for you. If you have 2.6 inch wide tires on your Norco Fluid FS1, you will need Swagman Fat Bike Tire Wheel Adapter for XTC 2/XTC - 2 Tires # S64674 in order to accommodate your bike on the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # S64665.

With that being said, we do offer 4-bike bike racks that will not require extra adapters for your tires. For this route, an economical choice is the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # C18087. The Curt will accommodate tire widths up to 3 inches wide and has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 45 pounds. Also, one of the great advantages of the Curt 4 is that you can tilt the rack away from your vehicle (with or without bikes loaded) to gain easier access to the trunk of your vehicle.
