Swagman XTC2 Hitch Mount Bike Rack

The founders of Swagman, Jim and Jan Morris, saw an opportunity in the early 90s to create a better way to transport bicycles, and that philosophy was the intention behind the company's creation. Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch-style bike rack, and over the years, this small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other groundbreaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV, and Automobile markets.

The XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack is designed to make it easy to carry two bikes securely on your car's hitch with no risk of bike-on-car or bike-on-bike damage. Thanks to a built-in anti-wobble device, the platform-style rack secures solidly to 2- or 1.25-inch hitches. To load the bikes, simply lift them into the wheel platforms, secure the wheels with the integrated wheel straps, and secure the grip arms over the frames. With push-button ratcheting arms and sliding wheel platforms, the rack provides a custom fit for bikes with 20- to 29-inch wheels and can accommodate multiple frame types. The soft frame-friendly coating on the grip arms ensures that your bikes' finishes remain unmarred.

In comparison to roof-mounted bike racks that generally require you to remove the bike's front wheel and hitch-mounted cradle carriers that don't support the bikes from the base, the XTC Cross-Country is easy to use and worry-free. Whether your rack is fully loaded or not in use, the rack provides ready access to your car's trunk. The rack folds up for easy storage when not in use, and the center arm folds down to allow access to the rear of the vehicle without removing the rack.

Built to last, the XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack carries a limited lifetime warranty from Swagman. An optional locking hitch pin and 10-millimeter security cable can be used with this rack and are sold separately.

The XTC2 hitch-mount bike rack is easy to assemble, taking only a few minutes to set up following the instructions. Once installed, simply place your bikes on the rack and start cruising to your destination. The rack folds easily, saving you storage space when you're done using it. You can have peace of mind knowing that your bikes are protected with locking ratchet hooks and a locking hitch pin. The rack is versatile, easily transporting up to two bikes with a maximum weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike, and it's compatible with a Class 2 or higher, 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receiver, fitting most frame sizes, shapes, and styles (12" to 29" tire sizes).
