Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1/1/4 and 2-Inch Receiver)

The bike rack is sturdy, and very easy to use. folds down quickly to allow SUV door to open. Had to carry a bundle of 12 foot long vinyl siding in my Rav4 so supported rear end of box on the bike rack. Worked very well, no problem. Have E bike and bike rack allows me to take bike to quiet scenic areas to ride. Wonderful.

The design of this bike rack is what makes this a great product. The rack is solid and easy to adjust. The rack is easy to load with bikes, and you can adjust the rack center bar down in seconds to allow access to your vehicle hatchback. The only minor weakness is the bolt and cotter pin to attach to the hitch receiver. I'd prefer a stainless steel bolt and nut. The included galvanized bolt does thread into the hole in the portion of the bike rack that mounts into the 2-inch receiver as that part of the rack is threaded to receive the enclosed bolt. A cotter pin secures the bolt from coming out in the unlikely event the bolt unscrews itself. I tried to find an equivalent SS bolt with a nut and discovered the bolt has an unusual thread. They had nothing at Lowes that matched. Other than this minor issue, this is a quality rack with a superior confidence-inspiring design.

As a retired 64 year old woman, healthy & in fairly good shape (bad knees) I wanted a bike rack I could handle by myself. My husband put it together- he beat me to it! But I don't think it was difficult. I can put it on my car (CRV) & remove by myself. I have no trouble at all putting my bike on the outer spot. The inner is a little tricker for me ~ trying to keep the bike pedal from scratching my car; but securing a towel over the pedal took care of that issue. I have only driven to the park about 5 miles from my house with my bike attached; I had no problems, felt no swaying ~ but cannot attest to interstate driving. I am very happy & pleased with this purchase. It took me 2 months to decide on this one...with the deciding factor: it's Walmart & easy to return if necessary ~~ I won't be returning this!!!

This rack is easy to set up and easy to use. The bikes are held down firmly with the adjustable padded clamps and does not wobble. It folds up by just pulling a couple of lock pins. I can't find any negatives, which is rare! Best bike rack for the money!

It does what it's supposed to do. We are using for our electric bikes. I have used on my truck and the camper.

This is a great buy for the price. Quick to put on and off my vehicle and quick to load and unload bike.

The bike rack showed up days earlier than we expected. Quick assembly, great middle arm fold down design for loading the first bike, great fold up design for easy bike rack storing.

This track surprised how strong and sturdy it is, I can unload and reload in less then 1min. It's highly compact with the fold up sides. If I could I would reassure this 6 out of 5 stars."!.. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

I didn't want to spend $300 to take my $400 bike to parks with bike trails. This is a sturdy rack. 2” square tube framing makes it stable. The assembly is simple and gave me no surprises. It looks like most of the more expensive racks. I wanted a hanging rack, but MTBs do not ‘hang' well on a Jeep Compass. My front wheel hung below the hitch despite adding a crossbar. This Maxx rack has platforms for two bikes. Platforms are more wiggly than a bike hanger rack, but I drove the bike on the rack around town a few days to test it and it held up very well in traffic and on the highway. I do not anticipate another 35%23 bike will break it. Rack tilts out to open the SUV hatch. The bike rack members are 1 1/4” square tube and can be removed to store in your vehicle using the locking pins. It has frame-clamping hooks to keep the bikes in place against the upright. The wheel traps adjust for adjusting your bike's stance. I will use my silver Sharpie to mark my (and my riding friend's) bike wheel traps placement. Basically, you want the hook to hit right at the seat post/frame intersection. I would add a pack of bungees to secure the bikes, anyway. I also bought a locking pin to secure the 2” tube to the hitch. I put the rack's included hitch pin in my bike toolbox. My receiver has ears for trailer safety chains which I run my cable bike lock through to keep the bike on the car when making shopping stops. I am happy. I recommend this rack.

Overall pretty good, worth the price. Just made a trip from KY to FL; added several bungees for extra security, and no issues for the full two-way trip. Some parts don't fit align/fit the best and make it challenging to use, but I like the feature that the sides fold up when not in use - you just might need something to bang on the pins to set them.
