 Swagman XC Hitch Mount Bike Rack August 18, 2008
Because my wife's bike has a ladies frame, I wanted this type of rack because it provides more secure support to the bikes.
Some minor assembly is required, but the major components are already in place. I was impressed by the use of tethered lynch pins to lock the arms in position. One less thing to lose!
The rack works very well. It easily supports two bicycles, and after the initial adjustment of the wheel holders, is quick and easy to use. The bikes are secured with ratcheted arms which engage the top rail of the frame. The arms are foam covered to protect the bike's finish. I could not detect any movement of the bikes while driving, although it's possible for the rack to shift slightly in the receiver when cornering.
On the particular unit I received, the powder coating finish was chipped off in several spots, but it can be touched up with paint.
Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase. The rack is easy to use, performs as described, and is reasonably priced.

I would not recommend this product. The receiver did not fit well into my hitch. It was so tight, I had to drive it in with a block of wood. I have not removed it from my vehicle since I first put it on but anticipate difficulty removing it due to the tight fit. The hold down bars pressed my brake and shifter cables against the top rail of my bike and rubbed through the paint- really bad design. The rack might work well for just a sidewalk cruiser but definitely not designed for bikes with brake and shifter cables that run along the frame.
Great buy on Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch August 13, 2008
This is a terrific product for the price. It is easy to mount on the vehicle and securely holds our bikes.
Great bike carrier! August 8, 2008
This is light weight (can be carried and put on hitch by an average woman) and is easy to use. Bikes lock on with a single clamp. Unlike another reviewer, I think the screw-in hitch bolt is great. When turned in tightly the bikes don't sway at all. In fact, I had the same fastener replicated for my hitch riser so anything I put on is firm. Great product!
Bike Rack July 21, 2008
I own this product. I bought it years ago and have used it with no problems. It is sturdy, easy to use. The bikes do not rattle, they stay very secure and steady. A great item!
