Swagman XTC2 Hitch Mount Bike Rack

The Swagman XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack was designed with the intention of creating a better way to transport bikes, as conceived by the company's founders, Jim and Jan Morris, in the early 1990s. Swagman was one of the pioneering companies worldwide to design and market a hitch-style bike rack.

Over the years, this small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia has expanded its product line to include numerous other groundbreaking designs for the North American bicycle, RV, and automobile markets.

The XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack is designed to make it easy and worry-free to carry two bikes securely on your car's hitch, with no risk of bike-on-car or bike-on-bike damage. The platform-style rack, with a built-in anti-wobble device, secures solidly to 2-inch or 1.25-inch hitches.

Loading the bikes is a straightforward process. Simply lift them into the wheel platforms, secure the wheels with the integrated wheel straps, and lock the grip arms over the frames. The rack's push-button ratcheting arms and sliding wheel platforms allow for a custom fit for bikes with 20- to 29-inch wheels, accommodating a variety of frame types.

The soft, frame-friendly coating on the grip arms ensures that your bikes' finishes remain unmarred. Compared to roof-mounted bike racks, which often require the removal of 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 XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack provides ready access to your car's trunk. The rack also 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 purchased separately for added security.

The XTC2 hitch mount bike rack is easy to assemble, taking only a few minutes to set up according to the provided instructions. Once installed, you can simply place your bikes on the rack and start your journey to your destination.

When not in use, the rack can be conveniently folded for storage, saving you valuable space. With the locking ratchet hooks and locking hitch pin, you can have peace of mind knowing that your bikes are protected and secure.

The XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack is a versatile solution, able to transport up to two bikes and compatible with Class 2 or higher, 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitch receivers. It can accommodate a wide range of frame sizes, shapes, and styles, fitting bikes with 12- to 29-inch tire sizes, with a maximum weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike.
