Question:

I have a Bacchetta Giro 20 and a Trek 7500 Hybrid . Will this bike rack carry both at same time ? Also have a 2010 Lexus RX 350 with 2 in receiver that this hopefully will work with the rack

In my research, I have found that your Bacchetta Giro 20 has a wheelbase of 47 inches and your Trek 7500 Hybrid has a wheelbase between 42.2 and 43.4 inches. With this being taken into consideration, the Swagman XC-Extended Platform # S64650-EXT will work beautifully for your two bikes.

Because the attachment arm lowers all the way down to the base of the bike rack, your Bacchetta will load closest to your vehicle.

This rack comes with an adapter sleeve so you will be able to use it on either a 1-1/4 or 2 inch receiver so you will be able to use it on your Lexus RX350.

The Extended-XC has a weight capacity of 70 lbs which should not be a problem for your two bikes. I found that your Trek 7500 weighs 30.5 lbs and your Bacchetta Giro 20 has a maximum weight of 33.5 lbs, which is well within the capacity of the rack.
