Amazon.com Product Description
Transport up to four bikes at once whether driving across country or to the campsite with the Swagman XC-4 cross-country bike rack. Designed to fit a two-inch receiver hitch, the bike rack makes it easy to load and unload your bikes from ground level. The rack includes a set of fast-adjustable, quick-release tire hoops and a ratcheting top arm, helping it fit a wide range of bike frames. In addition, the rack's center arm folds down when not in use, making it easy to access the rear of the vehicle without removing the rack. And to ensure that your rack doesn't rust over time, the XC-4 is powder coated. Built to provide more ground clearance than other racks, the cross-country rack comes with new and improved wheel straps for bicycle security.

4 out of 5 stars Good product   September 10, 2010
bike enthusiast
The Swagman bike rack was exactly what I expected. It may not have the characteristics of a Yakima rack, but one can not beat the price of the Swagman. It only lacks a locking pin to be a complete bike carrier. I have used it once and held up well. It was easy to assemble. I recommend it.


1 out of 5 stars PURE JUNK, FELL APART, DAMAGED MY BIKES   August 27, 2010

This rack is a piece of junk. Within 1,000 miles, a part has fallen off, the pin bent, the frame sagged, and has rubbed my $2,000 mountain bike frame down to the aluminum. DO NOT BUY THIS RACK.

For the initial journey, I put only three bikes on it for a long trip. The weight of the bikes was well below the max allowed. After my first leg, I pulled over to notice the rack sagged significantly. So much so, I removed all bikes to ensure the rack was not failing. I found the pin bent only after 400 miles! As my trip went on, the rack continued to disintegrate. The rubber frame protector holding the frame to my bike fell off (don't ask me how as it was snuggly fitted to my oversized mountain bike frame). The metal to metal rubbing destroyed my paint and rubbed through my hydraulic brake line. My kids' bikes were also rubbed, dented, and scratched.

Buy any other rack but this one. I personally will return to a roof rack for all my bikes.



5 out of 5 stars Great rack for 4 bikes   August 24, 2010
J. Mcclure (Edina, MN USA)
I love this rack. I've had it for over a year now and it is so easy to load that we take more bike trips. We have an odd assortment of sizes and styles - kids bikes, recumbent, road and they are all easy to fit without adapters or stress. I called for help with assembly and the manufacturer was great over the phone. Now that it is together there are no hassles.

The rack is pretty heavy so be prepared. We have a little rust on the metal parts but I live in MN and everything here rusts.

If you carry more than two bikes this is a definite yes.



5 out of 5 stars Very Solid Bike Rack   August 20, 2010
Mark
I was looking for a good solid bike rack to support three expensive mountain
bikes. one full suspension and two hard tails. for a two thousand mile trip.
The rack was very easy to assemble and supported our bikes without leaving a
mark on anything and I used my Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD to haul them, this truck
has a pretty heavy suspension system. The draw tight hitch bolt works like a champ
to draw the hitch tight and reduce unwanted movement and everything goes on and off smoothly once set for each bike. Thought I wanted to spend the money for the
Thule, but I'm glad a didn't and saved about $325.00. I'm very happy with my
purchase.



4 out of 5 stars great carrier for distances   August 17, 2010
Alicia L Chandler (Erie, PA)
We just finished with a trip to visit family and it worked great. Around 500 miles each way.

It took about an hour to get it adjusted so I could get all 4 bikes on at once. After that, everything was set and I loaded 4 bikes in 10-15 minutes. I'm sure I'll get even better.

The only improvement they could make would be to have two posts with more space. The middle 2 bikes fit really tight so you have to put them in just right. It was harder because my son has a BMX style bike and our daughter has a similar bike with 16" (I believe) wheels. Those fall through the mounts, but it stays in there securely anyway.

My arms don't lock in the down position very easily, but I only use that for storage so I'm not worried. I'd probably buy it again, especially for the price.
