Question:
Looking at Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches - Frame Mount... There is a photo that suggests my long wheelbase recumbent with 69 wheelbase will work yet the specification list says max wheelbase is 52. Please advise?

Hey Stienman, thanks for reaching out!
I'm not sure what photo you're referring to, but a bike with a 69" wheelbase it drastically bigger than what the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack # S64671 is rated for, so it won't work.
For your application you need the Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack # S64650-EXT which has a max 69" wheelbase compatibility when the XTC wheel hoops are installed.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
