Description

About Swagman "Ride, paddle, explore: seek your adventure" That philosophy was the intention of founders Jim and Jan Morris who saw an opportunity to create a better way to transport your bike back in the early 90’s. Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch style bike rack. Over the years, that small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other ground breaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV and Automobile markets. The XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack is designed to make it easy to carry two bikes securely on your car's hitch with no risk of bike-on-car, or bike-on-bike damage. Thanks to a built-in anti-wobble device, the platform- style rack secures solidly to 2 or 1.25-inch hitches. To load the bikes, simply lift them into the wheel platforms, secure the wheels with the integrated wheel straps, and secure the grip arms over the frames. With push button ratcheting arms and sliding wheel platforms, the rack provides a custom fit for bikes with 20 to 29-inch wheels and can accommodate multiple frame types. The soft frame-friendly coating on the grip arms, ensures that your bikes' finishes remain unmarred. In comparison to roof mounted bike racks that generally require you to remove 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 rack provides ready access to your car's trunk. The rack folds up for easy storage when not in use and the center arm folds down to allow access to the rear of vehicle without removing the rack. Built to last, the XTC Cross-Country 2-Bike Rack carries a limited lifetime warranty from Swagman. Please note: an optional locking hitch pin and 10-millimeter security cable can be used with this rack and are sold separately.

    • Easy to assemble and use for a basic, inexpensive platform rack

You can't beat this rack for a platform rack for the price. It fits my 2.5" tires perfectly, is easy to load and lock, and even has a spot to put a padlock through the top tube clamp's release button to help prevent theft. No, it doesn't flip up to keep your car's overall length down, and it DOES stick out a fair bit which you need to be mindful of when parking, but at this price point, you're getting a solid rack that will safely transport your bike. I recommend putting a microfiber cloth between the top tube clamp and the top tube to protect your bike's paint. ... show more

    • Does the trick!

This isn't a rack that you take on and off. Once you spend forever screwing that long bolt in by hand, and you put the (optional purchase) stabilizer on (which BTW you NEED to have), you aren't gonna take it on and off. Very easy to put 2 (of the same bikes) on. If you have 2 different bikes, then you will have a few things to work out: which is in back, how to distance things, whether to take seats off or not, etc..etc... The great thing is that if another car hits/bends it in a parking lot (which is what happens most of the time with racks), you didn't lose a lot of money. Not sure why all of these racks are mostly dark colors. Most of us want the brightest/neon colors possible so people can see it back there. Tip: wrap it in orange tape so people see it, and/or hang a few orange thingies that wave around in the wind. ... show more

    • Great rack for the money! Easy to assemble and load bikes!

Works like a champs and holds bikes firmly! The curved tongue keeps bike above the exhaust unlike a straight tongue. This may make it impossible to open a rear hatch without first unloading bike, but the vertical member easily folds down and can be pinned in place for easy access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle. Once the screw hitch pin is installed the rack is solid with very little if any play. Highly recommend the XTC2. ... show more

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. ... show more
