One of our most popular platform bike racks for the Volvo C70 is the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack, # S64650. This rack is quick and easy to use, secures your bike at three different points, is designed to work with most bikes regardless of their frame style, and is very economical.

Another popular rack with our Volvo C70 owners is the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT, # TH92BJ. This rack is loaded with additional features like sliding wheel trays with ratcheting wheel straps to secure the bike, cushioned arms equipped with the Thule One Key Lock System, and Snug Tite receiver lock for added security.

I have attached a video of each bike rack for your review.

If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, you may find it easier to secure the bikes by using an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. This bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem on your bike to give you a horizontal surface to secure to.
