Discount Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver)


Over All Rating Reviews :
Swagman is starting to ship these with their latest revision, which has the 2" hitch adapter (removable) and about a 4" rise in the lower bar of the assembly - which is great for avoiding scrapes when dealing with driveways, etc.

I'm not a big fan of the wheel loops, as their higher end models (XTC2 for example) physically locks the wheel in place from left to right and seems to secure it by using more area. When mounted on my car (2006+ VW GTI) the inner bike is a tad bit close to the body of the car and the right pedal may touch the license plate frame; I would recommend removing that pedal for transport.

Great solid (and heavy) construction as many have mentioned, but when folded up I am having a hard time finding somewhere to store this beast. I added red reflective tape to the bottom, bike-holding, arms of the unit so that it would be more visible at night (highly recommended, $2 upgrade from Walmart). Also, I've added cable Velcro ties to each of the wheel loops so that I can secure the wheels to the rack just that much more - make sure to get something longer than 11 inches.

For the price and what you get, you can't beat the value. I look at other racks from Saris and Thule and I simply cannot justify the 150+ price difference.
