Its does what its supposed to do
I read the reviews ,bad wobble ,damaged bikes ,and bad 2in conversion hitch. I took a chance on it cause the price was too good to pass up. I have not experienced the bad wobble. I have a 2in receiver on my truck, yes it is loose in the fact I can lift it up and down in the hitch with out bikes on it but when I have one or two bikes (about 65LBS it stable. Doesn't shake back and forth. I'm also not seeing where this would damage bikes. Wheels strap in tight and the crossbar bracket has a nice rubber protector on it. The bikes don't move.The only negative I would have is its a little heavy being all steel no aluminum but its a cheap rack

Great & Still working. Who Dose That.
Swagman XTC2. High Speed-No Move and cool looking. Fit form and function all good. Using it on a 2014 Audi SQ5. & at one time on a 2919 Acura Integra. The Rack is good & steady going over rocky roads and highway tested at a steady 95 mph. Still using after 9 years ago 2014. Cheers.

Good alternative to more expensive Hitch Mounted Carriers
I own several bike carriers, including a Thule Trailblazer hitch mounted 4-Bike carrier, trunk mounted and roof mounted carriers, and fork mount blocks for pickup truck beds. Advantage of hitch mounted carriers: 1) Secure the bike in the back reduces wind resistance at high speeds. 2) Avoid low height accidents like garages vs roof carrier bikes. Disadvantage of hanging type bike carriers: 1) Bike swings during transit with stop and go traffic. More expensive carriers have brackets to minimize this. 2) Bikes may rub on each other if position too close, which risk marring the paint finish. Two custom road bikes did not fit my hanging carriers, and I was tired of removing the front wheel. I wanted a hitch mounted bike carrier that folded up compactly and did not require removing the front wheels during bike loads. I looked at the Thule, Yakama, and Saris product, but they were expensive, heavy and bulky. Swagman is a Canadian company, and the XTC2 was manufactured in Taiwan. The quality of the product was very good for the price. The advantage of the Swagman XTC2 over the older XC Cross Country Carrier: 1) XTC2 wheel wells are 1/2 loops vs. full loops of the XC. This allows the tires to be tied down with the improved rubber straps vs. the wheel just sitting on the full loop well. 2) The receiver bar on the XTC2 is S-curved that lifts the carrier above the exhaust pipe vs. a straight bar on the XC. This higher ground clearance also helps with deep road dips and driveways. 3) I agree with the another reviewer that the ratchet locking system to hold down the bike to the rack found on the XTC is much better than the friction knob found in the older carriers by Swagman and carriers by Sportrack. The frame grip arms were improved and soft frame friendly to protect the bike's finish. You can lock the bike to the carrier using a padlock for each hook holders to prevent release of the ratchet. The padlock shackle needs to be a 3/16 inch in diameter or less. Anything thicker will not fit the hole. The spacing from the shackle to the lock needs have at least a 5/8 inch or larger clearance. Anything narrower will not lock. I found such a lock made by Masterlock (Model 131T) at a local discount superstore. The lock is covered in scratch resistant vinyl. They sell it in a 2 lock set with matching keys. 4) Assembling the carrier was easy. Only took about 20 minutes with a phillips screw driver, supplied allen wrench, and socket wrench (to attach the hitch receiver bolt). 5) I was pleased to see that the carrier cleared the rear window hatch opening on my 2006 Ford Escape. I use this hatch to access rear storage when the bikes are mounted. The vertical bar folds down in order to clear the rear door opening. The bikes need to be off the carrier to fold down the bar. Disappointments: 1) The outer box arrived damaged. It was made of cheap cardboard material. The content were bubble wrapped and loose in the box. See picture. It would have been better if the shipper opened the box, filled it with shipping popcorn, then re closed the box into an outer, more studier shipping box. Luckily, all the parts were present and with no damage. 2) The main carrier can be removed along with the loaded bikes by a motivated thief with the proper tools even to there was a hitch lock in place. Two allen wrench screws are located in the underside crossbar junction. I added a separate cable lock to secure the rack to the hitch. 3) One item not described in the assembly instructions was that two machine screws need to be installed at the underside of the tip to prevent the wheel wells from sliding off. 4) Although the 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter was made of solid metal, and the screw in type hitch pin did minimize wobble, the 1 1/4 inch tubing used to make the receiver bar still had in inherent sway of a few degrees when driving with loaded bikes. The instruction sheet warns to remove bulky item such as child carriers to reduce wind resistance. Update: December 14, 2009 We recently had a rain storm come through our area. After a few days I noticed a few rust spots on the latch pins which wiped off easily with a rag. The metal not have a rust resistant undercoating, so it is best if the rack is kept dry or out of the elements for long periods of time. I purchased the Swagman 2 inch threaded hitch pin lock from another website and it provides a peace of mind. Overall this carrier was a great value.

Works great, make sure your hatch/trunk will open first though
If you regularly have to transport your bike, this is a great way to do it. It does require you to put a trailer hitch on your vehicle, which is usually pretty simple if you're handy. I have used this on 3 different vehicles, '98 Lexus GS, '11 Mazda 3 hatchback, and my full size pickup. I am able to open the hatch and trunk on both of the cars with only 1 bike on the rack. The truck needs the upright to be folded down to open the tailgate (no big deal since I usually use a bike mount in the bed anyway). The great thing about this rack is that it acts as a bike stand also. I loosely put it on the rack to hold it while I pump the tires and prep it for the ride. Then just pull it off and ready to go. Don't have to lean it against something and risk it falling or scratching the car. If you use two bikes, it takes some fiddling to get them to work together on the rack. You have to adjust the front and rear bikes relative to each other until they don't interfere with the other. The rack is more than capable of being adjusted for just about any two bikes, but it does take a little effort. I put a piece of tape around one of the wheel loops so I know where the front of my wifes bike goes when it is behind mine and I know my front goes on the other side. Then all is good. I also painted some small marks on the rail so I can get back to those settings quickly if I put any other bikes on it. It does need to be adjusted for wheelbase when you put a different sized bike on it. The best part is I put this on and take it off every time I use it and it takes just a minute. I store a ratcheting wrench with it to install the receiver pin bolt. It is about a million times easier than those strap on bike racks and won't wear your paint since it doesn't contact the car body at all. I think it holds the bike more securely and goes on and off the car more easily. For security, I just use a cable lock when it is necessary. I don't like leaving my bike out in the elements anyway so it usually doesn't stay on the car. If I do have to leave it out, I weave a cable lock through the chain hooks on my hitch, then through my bike wheels and frame. II think it's more secure than a strap on mount unless you have a point on the car to lock it to. They can just be cut off with a knife. I don't leave the rack on the car, but after a year and a half of using it a couple times a week (occasionally in the rain) it still looks and works great. I think if you left it on full time the little latches on the hooks would probably rust and eventually cause problems. They are just plated metal and are showing some signs that they might rust if I didn't keep it inside. Overall, I attend quite a few biking events and have seen just about everything available. I haven't seen anything that I'd rather have. Note: I'd feel differently if I couldn't open the hatch/trunk of my cars with the rack (and one bike) on, so I'd check around or try it out at a bike shop before buying. I did have to install the hooks in a way that looks backward to make it work with the Mazda hatchback and I have to flip them around to put on two bikes, but that takes10 seconds or less.

Well done ladies and gentlemen...
I did what you may be doing now. Reading reviews, and estimating expectations. Well, its been one complete summer and late fall now, and the verdict is: success - the item lives up to expectations/hopes. The bike stays secure, by virtue of its design; the wheels do not move. And, when locks are purchased for the hitch, and the upper hook, the bike can be locked onto this item, which is locked onto the hitch. As per criticisms of whether it will suffice on your hitch mount; i have it installed on the smaller 1.25" hitch receiver...utilizing a third party hitch lock. Minimal/acceptable movement. The only improvement I would add, is the use of some plastic in the upper area; would better use of metal throughout, to ensure greater security...I would rate it, therefore 4.5 stars out of 5 for this reason alone.

Good entry level platform bike rack with some minor flaws...
This is my first platform bike rack and I’m happy to have a relatively easy to set up bike rack for any trips I have in mind during the warmer months. Swagman is Canadian and have a reputation as being innovative and many aspects of this bike rack (such as the body hook bar) are fairly effective and secure. I do however notice that the central pillar does sway ever so slightly with or without bikes secured to it. The culprit is the connection point between the hitch bar and the three pronged bike rack structure. I would look in my mirror while driving and I can easily see some mild swaying. I would then see a vehicle drive by me with a Thule or Kuat platform bike rack and I would notice these racks don’t swag at all. Now those bike racks cost 2-5 times the cost of this bike rack so ...I appreciate that this bike rack is a relatively cheaper but effective alternative to those expensive brands. If you find this on sale and you’re looking for a cheaper, reasonably good platform bike rack, then go ahead and buy this one. If, however, you are super worried by mild swaying of the rack then you’ll have to spend more on another brand.

Cheap price but high quality.
Assembled easy enough. Holds the bikes (2014 Norco Storm 9.2 29er large frame and a 2020 Giant ATX3 Disc 27.5 medium frame) with no issues at all. Definitely recommend putting a spare rag/cloth/something between the clamp down bar and frame of the bike to protect your paint as the vibrations will definitely cause some paint wear. It's cheap compared to other brands, but it's definitely high quality. Highly recommend to get the locking hitch pin and bike lock. It comes with just a regular hitch pin but the locking one with the cable means you can park to go eat and not worry about theft or even worry about someone stealing the rack while you're out biking.

Good rack at affordable price.
After reading all the negative reviews I have a few things to clarify. I’ve owned three of these racks over the years and my current one is on 3 years of use. Most of the negative reviews are from user error, assembly error, or using the rack outside of its intended purpose. One review was mad that his e-bike, which is certainly over the 35lb capacity, fell off the back of his fifth wheel. These racks are not designed to be used on the back of a trailer, it is stated clearly in the instructions. Swagman sells rv approved racks and e-bike approved racks, this is neither. There’s some complaints about frame rub on bikes, this does happen. I use a sock over each hook and have never had an issue since. The complaints about the sway I cannot comment on because I’ve never had this issue. However if you do have this issue you can get a clamp that secures the bike to the receiver. These are common in the trailer world as there is often slop in the receiver, roughly 30$ for the part. This rack will hold your bike secure if you use it properly! I find it funny sometimes when people will put a 5,000$ bike on a 250$ rack and complain when it’s not perfect. The complaints about no locking device are also comical. The locks on a 1000$ Thule can be broken in two seconds with a screw driver. Never ever trust a lock on a bike rack. Bikes get stolen off racks every minute. Do not leave your bike unattended. Ever. After three years of winter and summer use the main gusset plate where the receiver arm mounts to the main body of the rack rusted an cracked. I didn’t take the rack off after every use and live in an area with snowy salty winters. I ordered a new gusset plate for 35$ and fixed it myself in 3 minutes. After 3 years of me abusing this rack I think that’s a fair trade. Long story short if you want a budget rack and use it properly. This things pretty good.

This is a odd 5 star review.
First: I feel like this may have been a repackaged return as there were scuff and scratch marks on fold down arms, no big deal as I figured this would happen over time anyways, but it sucks a little when you expect new. Second: The set screws provided could not be put into the receiver bar as the existing holes were somehow already cross threaded. Not having the patience, I had a friend help me weld this bar in place... no f's given at this point BUT... Now that this rack has been attached to my 1.25'' hitch, I have nothing but good stuff to say. I have gone on a few long trips already with 2 mountain bikes, and this rack is sturdy. Yes there might be a bit of shake over bumps, but this rack is probably your best bang for your dollar in regards to hitch racks. I do use a cloth or glove in between the bike and the frame grip arms just in case. I drive in confidence with both bikes on the rack. 5 Stars
