Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch style bike rack. Over the years, that small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other ground breaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV and Automobile markets. Review: Highly recommended Bike Rack!! - I decided to purchase this style of bike rack after searching the internet high and low for all different types of bike racks. To be honest I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and this style of bike rack, it is easy to use, holds the bikes securely, and safely. The reason I decided to go with the Swagman brand is because it is a very good value compare to other brand bike racks on the market that offer the same thing this rack does. Don’t pay hundreds of dollars more for a product that will do the same function! Pros: The first good thing about this product that comes to mind is the construction quality of this rack. It is built strong, stable, and built to last. I was surprised when I first received this rack at the sturdiness of it. The second good thing about this rack is the ease of installing it to you vehicle, it takes maybe 5 minutes to β€œinstall” or β€œremove” this rack from your vehicle. Very easy and straight forward on how to do this, basically you slide the rack into your received hitch, and then you insert the threaded bolt through one side of your receiver hitch and then push it to the other side and begin threading it into the other side. I will then general take a wrench and snug up the bolt, then place the cotter pin through the end if the bolt and you are done. The third good thing about this rack is how easy it is to load and unload the bikes from it. It takes literally 1 minute to unload 2 bikes from this rack, and then you are ready to ride. No having to install your front tire, or lift the bikes up or down from the top of your car or the bed of your truck, nope your simply release the tension on the bike and then remove it from the rack. Cons: The only thing I dislike about this rack is that it has to be folded down to access my tailgate when it is installed to my truck. And with bikes on the rack you are ether out of luck or you have to removed your bikes from the rack to access the tailgate. Overall this is not a huge deal and I think the benefit the rack provides far outweighs this small issue. Overall: I have been using this bike rack for 2 or 3 years now and have not had any issues at all and have never had a bike come loose, fail off, or anything like that. I ride just about every day and the trailers I ride are about 10 miles from my house so I have to load the bike up every time I want to go ride. That being said I don’t want to have to mess with lifting the bike on top of my truck every day, and I also don’t want to have to remove the front tire every single day. That is the biggest selling point for me with this rack is that I can load my bike on it in basically seconds, put a Masterlock on it so it is safe and secure and then I’m ready to go ride!! I can promise you that you won’t be disappointed with this purchase and it is a very nicely constructed rack that functions awesomely well!! Perfect rack for people like me who ride every day and don’t want to have to take the bike apart after each ride. Review: This Is A Great Bike Rack, Especially At This Price - I bought this 3 months ago to replace a Yakima hanging type rack. We used it for a 1000 mile trip before reviewing and found it to be an excellent rack. Our 2 bikes made it perfectly. I like it MUCH better than the hanging type. The design and construction are outstanding. While the materials on the Yakima are obviously higher quality, these are perfectly adequate and functional and for the price difference it's an easy choice for me. Unless you need this right away, watch for deals. The price fluctuates between $65-$120. The rack fits my 2" receiver tightly with no wobbling or sway when the included pin is screwed tightly into place. The pin has a nib on the end to fit the optional lock. The rack's hitch-mount comes with an already attached adaptor that may be removed to use in a 1 1/4" receiver as well. Remember, bikes with a suspension can compress on bumps and bounce out of any tray type rack. You should attach the wheels to the trays with straps (buckle or velcro) or just use a bungee. I also wrapped a bungee around the frame tubes at the top hooks. Super secure and you can use foam pipe insulation if needed to protect the finish. This is a great rack and at the price it's a SUPER deal. UPDATE: We just got back from another road trip and I'm even more impressed with this rack than I already was. I now have a total of over 1500 miles on it, mostly highway with some around town use and even a little off road. This rack is an amazing bargain! I don't see ever needing anything more expensive than this. The quality is excellent and it works like a charm. Very secure and easy on and off. ## Features - π—˜π—”π—¦π—¬ 𝗧𝗒 π—”π—¦π—¦π—˜π— π—•π—Ÿπ—˜: The XC2 hitch mount bike rack only takes a few minutes to assemble and the upright ratchet arms easily adjusts to different bike frame sizes, will accommodate bike frames up to 59 cm (23.2") - π—ͺ𝗒π—₯π—₯𝗬 𝗙π—₯π—˜π—˜ π—¦π—˜π—–π—¨π—₯π—œπ—§π—¬: Sturdy design includes a built in anti-wobble hitch device to keep bikes in place - π—¦π—”π—©π—˜π—¦ 𝗬𝗒𝗨 𝗦𝗧𝗒π—₯π—”π—šπ—˜ π—¦π—£π—”π—–π—˜: Rack folds easily so that you can conveniently store when you are done using it - π—©π—˜π—₯π—¦π—”π—§π—œπ—Ÿπ—˜: Easily transports up to 2 bikes and is compatible with a Class 2 or higher, 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receiver.

Fast install/removal if you can live with some wobble. *by S***R on July 4, 2018* I'm reasonably happy with this hitch mount rack. I have a Mazda Miata and wanted a way to carry my bike to work with me on nice days so I didn't have to choose between going for a lunch ride and driving the convertible. Yeah, first world problems... Anyway, I put a hitch on the Miata and got this rack. THE GOOD: The hitch holds the bikes well. It handles my road bike and my 29'er. It is super quick to install and remove (with some caveats noted below) THE BAD: Wobbles if you don't bolt everything down Now, about that wobble. I don't want to leave the rack on the Miata. I bring my bike inside when I get to work and throw the rack in the trunk for the rest of the week. The bolt-in hitch pin is not conducive to that, so I used a regular hitch pin with a cotter lock that I can remove quickly. That adds a little play at hitch attach point. Then where the rack attaches to the arm from the hitch has two bolts to secure that joint from wobbling. I can't fit the rack in the Miata trunk with that hitch arm sticking out at a right angle to the rack, so I don't use the two bolts and just have the pin securing the rack to the arm. This joint is pretty loose and results in wobble. It seems secure, just wobbly. But, I can now take the rack on or off in 30 seconds without needing any tools. I'm not sure why that joint is so loose and wasn't built with tighter tolerances. In conclusion, this is a good rack for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack - YiwerDer Reusable Fastening Cable Straps and Cable Ties Set 20 Pack(8"-12"-18"), Adjustable Multi-Purpose Hook and Loop Cord Ties to Keep Cords Organized and Tidy - Swagman Anti-Wobble 1/2" Threaded Hitch Pin and 6.5' Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/948575-xc2](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/948575-xc2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
