Swagman’s Most Popular Hitch Rack

When a company has over 90 products in one category alone like Swagman it might seem like it would be difficult to narrow it down and select just one as being most popular. But based on a huge amount of satisfied reviews by users, in this case it was easy. One of the most popular and standout products in the Swagman bike rack line is the Swagman XC.

The XC or cross country rack by Swagman is designed to accommodate a wide range of bike types, shapes and sizes from bmx bikes, to children’s bikes, to cruiser bikes, to full suspension bikes, “y” frame bikes, adult bikes and more. As well, none of these bikes need to have their tires removed to work with this rack.
 
The Swagman XC works with both types of trailer hitch receivers 2 inch and 1.25 inch. It has a specially designed anti-wobble feature so it drives very stable. It holds one or two bikes secure without the use of tie downs for the wheels or handles. To keep bikes secure it has a locking hitch pin. The arms fold down to allow access into the back of the vehicle. It is designed in such a way that neither the rack or the bikes touch the vehicle to prevent scratching. Finally, the Swagman X2 folds up for easy storage when not in use.

It is considered by users to be “easy to assemble, pleased with the craftsmanship, well put together, offers very little sway at high driving speeds and sold for a very good price vs. its competitors”. Users also consider this rack to be the best value on the market for this class of bike rack.
