 "Great Bikerack." 2009-07-16
By Donald Nelson (Whitefish, Montana)
This is my second Swagman bike rack. Simply put they are strong as an ox and simple as simple can be. No muss or fuss right out of the box. Built like a brick, perhaps a bit heavy but that help them ride solid in the hitch mount. I recommend the swagman products as first class.

 "Works well after modification" 2009-09-07
By James E. Kestel
Bike rack works very well with some modifications. I put the rack on the back of a 36' 5th wheel camper, it tends to get a lot of bounce with 5 bikes. I did away with the pin that lets it fold down and made it a rigid assembly, drilled an extra hole in the receiver, welded 5/8 washers to the side of the bike receiver where the pins go to get rid of the play, so I could bolt the receiver tight to the vehicle receiver.

I did have some difficulties initially trying to put the bikes on the rack. I had to use some of the bike seat posts to attach to the bike rack, if they could only make frames the same on the bikes, or is there another bracket that would help in this situation?

We just got back from a trip, and worked well after everything.

 "How could it be improved? It can't" 2009-06-17
By Matthew (Tx)
I have owned 2 bike racks. One was not worth anything, the other was difficult to use. This is the perfect rack.

1) Five bikes, few others do this.

2) The cradles are adjustable on angle with initial setup. This is the definitive factor! If you've never used a rack try to put bikes of different size and style if you don't have this feature. Just try...

3) The cradles are well designed, padded great, and can accommodate a large range of frame.

4) It folds down which is huge if you use a locking pin.



This is one of the best designed products I have used in a long time.

 "pretty darn good!" 2008-10-10
By Jorge Kruger (NC, USA)
I needed a 5 bicycle rack that could handle all our family bikes, including our 3 children's (5, 7 and 10 yrs. old) for our yearly vacation. This one seemed to be pretty versatile, not requiring additional bars for most bikes.

While it took some work to make all bikes fit just right (especially the little ones), we made the 4 hour trip to the mountains just fine; no excessive movement (though it does sway a little), no damage to the bicycles (I used pipe insulating foam tube pieces in a couple of spots where bikes rubbed each other) and an overall uneventful trip, even on some not-so-smooth roads. Getting the kids' bikes on was kinda tricky (the littlest one had to travel upside down!) but it worked out fine--I don't think it would have been so with some of the other 2-bar models.

However, if I had to load all 5 bikes on a regular basis I'd probably be looking for a different option. Also, something this rack (and most others too) could use is some kind of reflective finish on the end of the tube... can never be too safe!

 "Really nice rack!!!" 2007-10-13
By R. J. Haupert (Zimmerman, MN USA)
I really like this rack, it fits nicely on the back of my Dodge Grand Caravan. The rack is made of high quality items and is worth the money.



A couple of suggestions for improvement would be to, first, make all the bike holders locking, instead of just the one at the end. Second, some provision for mounting extra lights to the rack would be useful, since five bikes do tend to block your tail-lights. I'm planning on jury-rigging something to my rack.

 "Not Bad" 2009-02-03
By M. S. (Orlando, FL.)
Does not seem to be too bad of a bike hitch.



PROS: Sturdy, assembles easily and versatile.



CONS: Could be a bit heavy/awkward for some women. Pain in the rear for oddly shaped frames such as woman's/girl's style bikes.



I had to rotate the mounts to odd angles (one almost upside down) to be able to fit the bikes securely. Due to the size (for strength/security) of the mounts, it makes it difficult to slide the bike onto the mounts as intended especialy if the bike has an odd shaped frame. The best bikes to use with this hitch would be of a simplistic design that has a strait top tube (Top section of frame that runs from seat post to goose neck) or one that you can frame adapter on.



Overall this seems to be a good quality carrier.

 "Definitely not 'ultimate in flexibility'" 2008-05-24
By me (west coast)
I have bought this hitch for our dual suspension bikes and I would not recommend it to anyone.



Cradles seemed functional at first but when we took the bikes to the trip to Moab which involved quite a bit of rough dirt roads, fine dust got everywhere, rubber padding started loosing grip and bikes moved in all directions resulting in quite a bit of damage (scratches and worse, cable to rear derailer on one bike got almost destroyed). 'Kraton vinyl cusioning' on both cradles suffered quite a lot of damage and in one case detached from the metal piece.



I would definitely disagree with claims that (1) loading and unloading is very fast [it is not] and (2) rotation allows for greater ground clearance [if you need ground clearance, this hitch is not your best choice because the rack is not all that high at the first place].



I have swapped this rack for another model (XPORT Slipstream 3-Bike Dual-Receiver Hitch Rack) with U shaped fork because two support points and higher ground clearance.

By Dissatisfied (CT)
I used this 3 bike rack for less than 2 years with just 2 bikes mounted. There was so much play at the fold-down pin that the stem broke at the pin insert point. Fortunately there was still enough material for the rack to stay upright, but it could have folded down during transport, destroying both bikes and creating a traffic safety hazard. Swagman would not reply to our customer service inquiries.

 "Great rack!" 2006-08-09
By R. French (Texas)
This is the third bike rack my wife and I have tried and for once a pleasant surprise. I own a Jeep Liberty with the spare tire mounted on the back. Most hitch mounted bike racks require you to purchase a hitch extension costing between $30 and $70 dollars to clear the spare. The mounting tube on this rack has two pre-drilled positions, one for clearing a spare, and one for bringing the rack closer if you don't have a rear mounted spare. Needless to say I was pleased not having to spend the extra money for the extension.



This is also a well built rack, not flimsy like many similarly priced racks I have seen. There is no need to provide extra stability with straps etc. to keep it from twisting.



This rack provides quite a bit of security as well. A locking pin is provided for attaching the section that swivels to the section mounted to the hitch, and one of the three mounting brackets has a locking knob.



Finally, the single tube design is a lot more adaptable than the racks that have two arms for holding the bike. We bought a Thule spare tire mounted rack for my wife's Jeep, and while it is a nice rack, we had a really rough time getting the frames of our mountain bikes to clear the two support arms. With the Swagman, it is no problem, much easier to load and unload. You can rest assured you will get your money's worth with this rack.

Seems to be a good rack though it does sway a lot. so much that i bought the other piece to stablize it which adds to the price. also, just FYI, i cannot fit my 4runner in the garage with the rack attached to the car, or i should say i can't close my garage door. just something to think about before buying as that thought never entered my mind.:)

 "Good for price, but........" 2008-03-17
By B. Arnholt (Blue Ridge, VA USA)
I bought this bike rack to replace a worn-up Performance bike rack. It is sturdy, and well constructed. The bike cradles are easy to use. However, like most, it doesn't fit non-standard bikes. Overall this is a good unit for the money, BUT, it sways more than I'd like. So, I will have to purchase an anti-sway accessory and cross-bar adapters which makes the price less attractive.

 "Everything I Expected" 2007-08-19
By G. Pergande
This rack is pretty much just everthing I expected of of a bike rack as it's very rugged and easy to use. We have a mini van and a very nice feature is you can swing the rack down while it's loaded to open the tailgate and access the back. We did need to purchase one of the bike cross bars to be able to attach one of my sons bikes that was to thick to fit the rack. I would recamend buying the anti-sway bar. I didn't and ended up buying localy. It keeps to rack from swaying side to side when driving and is pretty much a matter of preference if it bothers you as I don't see any safety problem if you don't use one.

 "Good, but could be better." 2007-05-13
By GT XCR3000 (UT)
Swagman's claim on this rack is that it:

"provides the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate a variety of bike frame designs"

So I figured I'd spend a little extra $$ on the rack and avoid buying a bunch of crossbars. Unfortunately, the rotating cradles are so big that quite a few bikes (including my GT XCR) start having trouble fitting into them without quite a bit of twisting and pushing, on top of that pretty much render crossbars useless.

It is a good rack but I'd recommend getting the non-rotating cradles if you really want more flexibility in the bikes it can accommodate.

 "NOT what i expected!" 2008-07-06
By Marvin A. Wiersch (Reno, NV USA)
You would think this would fit oversized tires, especially since it's a spare tire mount, but it doesn't nor does it have an extension plate that I can/could find. The plate also fits strangly on to my spare, at a strange angle that give the mount about 20-30 degrees of swival. you'd think it should of been a bit more semetrically applicable for stability. Since I wansn't able to mount it I didn't find out if it would be stable or not but it looked as if with enough jolting (4x4) it would swival to the left and off center the rack. if there were an extension plat I'd give it a 3-star.

 "The end result is good" 2008-04-21
By Book Lover XYZ
Our experience with this bike rack is rather bumpy. But with patience and persistence from Swagman and from eager customers (us) the end result is very good.



We have a Toyota Rav4 2007 and had hard time to find a spare tire mounted bike rack. As far as I know, only Swagman has made special replacement back plate to fit our car and offered it for free when we purchased a Swagman XP 2 Bike Tire Mount from any vendor. We ended up buying from Bike Nashbar via Amazon. When the bike rack (from Bike Nashbar) and the replacement back plate (from Swagman) arrived we found the rack did not have firm contact points on the spare tire as the instructions advised. We contacted Swagman again and they immediately sent two shims that solved the problem. Now we have probably the first working tire mounted bike rack on a Toyota Rav4 2007 in the United States and are very happy. I thank Swagman, especially its knowledgeable and patient contact person, for helping us though.
