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.
Amazon.com
Transport up to four bikes at once whether driving across country or to the campsite with the Swagman XTC-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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
What I like most about it are:
1) Very sturdy.
2) Was relatively easy to put together - maybe 30 minutes and I thought the instructions were fine.
3) I have 2 kids bikes and my wife's bike, so having a rack like this, where I can set the wheels is, was something I really wanted, and it doesn't disappoint.
4) Very easy to adjust for bikes. I have not experienced what others have regarding having a challenge getting the bikes on and fitting them in right, at least not yet.
5) Fits 4 bikes perfectly. I wouldn't be concerned at all using for 4 adult bikes.
6) The locking capability is awesome, and was easily able to lock all my bikes. Now if you want to lock all your front tires and seats the lock won't be long enough.
7) Easy to fold up when not using, and looks good.
The only downside is expected. It is heavy, so taking on and off isn't my favorite part. Not terrible, just not great. Also, even though it is easy to lower it down to open the trunk, it always seems annoying to me so I rarely do it. And of course even if you do that it will still block access to the trunk. The only other potential downside is I don't think you can get a bike off without having all other bikes behind it off. So if you put on a bike first, then you put on 3 more, if you want that first bike I think you have to take the other 3 off. I only had this happen once, and it didn't seem remotely worth the effort of trying to get it off with taking others off first. But I could be wrong on this. Regardless not something that I expect to happen that often anyway.
The good:
- It carries four bikes.
- Getting the bikes on and off is easier compared to my previous suspension type bike rack.
- The bikes seem to travel securely (the do not wobble on the rack and the rack itself doesn't sway.)
- It came with a hitch pin lock to secure the rack to the hitch and it came with a cable that could be used with this hitch pin lock.
- The rack itself feels solid.
- The rack folds up when not in use.
The less than perfect:
- That solid feeling comes at a price. The rack is fairly heavy. However, if you're like me who just leaves it on all the time this doesn't matter.
- I drive a Jeep that has the rear mounted spare tire. In order to fold it up I had to purchase a hitch extension. (I bought and would recommend the Heininger 6000 Advantage Adjustable 11-Inch Hitch Extension also sold by Amazon. It maintains the stability this rack provides. Other extensions I tried added wobble/sway to the rack.)
- With the extension and when folded down for use the rack sticks out just over four feet from the end of my Jeep.
Overall, I would highly recommend this rack. It's easy to use and can handle my whole tribe's bikes.
Whoever designed the assembly process has a special place in design hell. In the best case, dropping the bolt through the cross bars after tilting the vertical bar out of the way is very tricky and frustrating. Despite that, three of the four bolts were in place within fifteen minutes (it's VERY difficult to manuever the bolt into position, particularly with big hands). However, even after 50 minutes of mostly patient effort doing everything I can think of, the fourth bolt will not go into place. After finally giving up for the evening and disassembling the incomplete arm, it appears that the holes as manufactured don't exactly line up. There is a overlap of perhaps an 8th of an inch which makes insertion impossible. I still think the product is going to turn out great, but I want to warn people to check the alignment of the hole BEFORE you try doing the actual assembly. I'll work something out with the misaligned holes this weekend and then once I've used the rack a couple of times I'll add to the review.
Okay, I ended up having the holes drilled out at a local body shop for free so that the fourth bolt was able to pass through. Once done, the rack fit together quite well. It seems to hold the bikes quite well and they don't bounce around at all when on the rack. It is odd that when you tilt the rack upwards, that the corss bolt - which seems like it should pass through and then hold the rack in the upright position - does not. Additionally, the anti-wobble locking bolt has not worked in multiple attempts since I got the rack. The threads, just don't seem to bite at all. Still, the hitch doesn't seems to wobble much at all and the bolt still locks it all in place so I really don't care. After several months, I'm still quite happy with the rack, past the initial frustrations with assembly.

First the pros:
-The sliding ratchet system to set the height on the top hook is excellent. It works perfectly, holds snug and is the best design I have seen for the hooks among any bike racks. This will be your favorite feature of this bike rack.
-The stretchable bands that go through the wheels are easy to use and also fit snug.
-The unit is strong, will hold even the heaviest bike and should provide many years of service.
-The rack is angled up and away from the hitch which provides much needed clearance for most vehicles.
-The rubber on the top hooks is durable, easy to clean and does not appear to scratch the bikes.
-The bikes stay quite stable in place and don't move around too much even on the biggest of bumps.
The Cons:
-Heavy! Strength comes at a cost. Smaller individuals will have a difficult time installing/removing this from the hitch by themselves.
-As convenient as the rubber straps are that go through the tires, they will over time deteriorate and lose their elasticity.
-The "lock" that comes with this hitch is more trouble than it is worth. There is really not enough cable to wrap through four bikes and then back to the hitch pin. Plus, bending over to hook up the lock cable under the hitch pin while loaded with bikes is cumbersome and awkward. In the end I just a separate lock to lock my bikes together because I cannot be bothered to drag this burdensome cable around and fight with it to lock up the bikes.
-While it will hold four bikes, you will need to be systematic in how you arrange the bikes as there is very little extra room when you have four adult bikes in the rack. (Pedals will likely need to offset to other bikes, seats may need to be lowered etc.)
-Assembly. I am a handy capable individual with plenty of tools, and this still took me over an hour to put together. You will need a socket set to put this unit together properly.
In short, while there are certainly better bike racks available on Amazon, few will offer this quality for this price. If you can live with the weight of the rack and don't mind a bit of hassle getting bikes on the rack, this may be a good purchase for you.
Beware this is a heavy rack, solid steel. What makes it stable also makes it heavy. It really needs a solid vehicle to use it. I would not recommend it for a compact car.
Overall though, this is perfect for us and we are very happy!

The only reason it only gets 4 stars is because the two inside bikes are position really closed together and does take some getting used to in order to get them in properly. I have used it half a dozen times since purchase and I am quite happy with the rack overall.
