Question:
What directions should 2 bikes be loaded on an xtc2 swagman bike rack?
asked by: Bill C
Helpful Expert Reply:
With the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack # S64671 you are able to load the bikes in either direction. It is recommended to always load the heavier of the 2 bikes first to reduce torsion on the receiver. Typically you will position the handlebars on separate sides from the front bike to the back to lessen interference when loading and unloading. You are able to reposition the wheel trays on the base to fine tune how your bikes sit on the rack and where the frame mount will sit to hold the bike in place.
