Why this product

Why the Swagman XC2 2-Bike Hitch Rack?

A budget platform hitch rack with tool-free installation and tilt-away — platform design means no frame contact hanging arms. Two bikes at 35 lbs each, steel at 32 lbs. No bike locks, not carbon-safe. Slightly better bike protection than the hanging XC model at a similar price. I recommend this as the Swagman upgrade from hanging to platform style for budget-conscious buyers who want to keep their bike frames scratch-free.
