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: The XTC2 hitch mount bike rack only takes a few minutes to assemble following the instructions. Once installed, simply place your bikes on the rack and start cruising to your destination
• SAVES YOU STORAGE SPACE: Rack folds easily so that you can conveniently store when you are done using it
• WORRY FREE SECURITY: Have peace of mind knowing that your bikes are protected with locking ratchet hooks and locking hitch pin
• VERSATILE: Easily transports up to 2 bikes and is compatible with a Class 2 or higher, 1- 1/4" and 2" hitch receiver. Fits most frame sizes, shapes and style (fits 12" to 29" tire sizes). Maximum weight capacity of 35Ibs. per bike

Question:	Clearwater, FL police told me we need to put the license plate on the bike rack itself, that there are ways to do it. Anybody know how
Answer:	No it won’t
Question:	I'm not good at, well, mechanics or whatever you call loading bikes on bike racks. Or bike racks on hitches. Nor am I super strong. Thoughts
Answer:	the docking hardware is for a quick detach setup, if you don't already have the quick detach lugs on your scooter now, you will have to order that accessory seperately.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does the "anti wobble" work? at the hitch receivers tend to wiggle alot. i need it to be very firm
Answer:	There's a metal insert that slides inside the hitch, which then slides into the hitch receiver. This insert has a nut welded inside of it that aligns with the hitch pin hole. They provide you with a threaded hitch pin that screws into that nut, which pinches the hitch against one side of the receiver when tightened.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work with a sprinter van and 29in bike tire
Answer:	I don’t know about the sprinter vans. We have a Suburban and it works great. I set the rack up on an Expedition and the rack was not able to be put in the upright setting with that vehicle, but it still worked fine. I have used this rack to transport mountain bikes of all sizes, from 20” tires to 29” tires. The 29ers fit great.
Question:	Will this work with a rigid fork mountain bikes
Answer:	No, this is compatible with suspension-fork bikes only.
Question:	why doesnt this work for RVs
Answer:	I believe that Yakima states that because of the extra forces applied to the rack. The amount of RV body that extends past the rear tires causes more bounce and therefore more stress to the rack. That being said my RV is a converted school bus and the back end bounces like crazy. I have put a 1000 miles on the rack with 6 bikes on it, I constantly check it for damage and so far it is holding up exceptionally well. But consider the liability of what you are doing. Depending on the price of the bikes you are putting on there you are looking at risking $3000 dollars upwards of $20,000 if your hauling all your friends top tier trail bikes.
Question:	Does this bike rack hold 24" wheel kid bike
Answer:	I use it also with my kids 20 inch and 24 inch Trek mountain bikes with front shocks. I did have trouble hauling a friends cheap 24 inch mountain bike that has narrowing than standard front shocks.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can any cargo carrier be added to your rack? or do you have to only use the hollywood racks cargo carrier for sport rider se & se2 bike rack
Answer:	Only the Hollywood Cargo carrier can be added to the HR1450 hitch rack.
Question:	Can you hitch on back of rv
Answer:	Hi, you can use a 2" trailer hitch on an RV, BUT I would be very careful. The hitch on an RV is very far away from the rear wheel so any bump would jostle the rack and bikes more. This can cause premature metal fatigue or loosen the bikes from the rack. Again, you would not want to ride in the back of an RV for the same reason.
Question:	Can you fit 4 bikes? Or is this only for 2 and you have to buy the extension separately
Answer:	We purchased the 4 bike platform model. It is nice as it totally supports all the bikes from wheels up. All 4 have a platform under the wheels, as well as support at the frame. Another nice feature, is that the way it is designed, it allows you to take off the second part if you only have 2 bikes. It separates by a lock 'key' between 2 bikes and the 4 bikes. So it gives you options to be a 2 bike holder or a 4 bike holder. Very solid, doesn't bump around too much from the hitch.
Question:	At the 1 min 30 sec mark of the video, could someone just unscrew that bolt and pull the pin after it to detach the rack from the adapter? Theft
Answer:	yes unless you buy your own pin..it comes with a pin clip.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it fit with 2016 Toyota Camry
Answer:	Most probably you can if the vehicle is an SUV
Question:	will it fit an SUV with spare tire on back door
Answer:	It fits the smaller receiver but also has an adapter that fit snuggly into a 2" receiver. It also has the ability to lean back to get into the hatch window, but we could not open the tailgate without removing the rack on our Pilot.
Question:	Will this fit a 2016 Corolla S
Answer:	I use a combination bike lock (alone when I'm just going down the road to a bike path) and bungee cords (for longer trips/transports). I thread it so secures the wheels and prevents theft.
Question:	Can this bike rack work with a 1.5 inch hitch? that's the largest hitch our bmwi
Answer:	As others have mentioned - it WILL NOT wobble IF you use the wobble bolt that came with it and tighten it all the way. No Wobble. BUt I still am concerned and have a question: The wobble bolt nut has a nylon thread to keep it from coming loose. But nylon threaded nuts are not designed to take on and off. The nylon loses its bite. Well, I need to take it on and off often. What is the recommendation from Allen?

User questions & answers

Question:	how much does this hitch weigh--I see this question before but no one gave an acceptable answer. thx.--Carol
Answer:	The product info says 39.1 lbs. It seems at least that and is fairly unwieldy.
Question:	Does anyone have a good secure locking system for the bikes
Answer:	We use our bike locks thru the bike wheels, bike frame and thru the mount . The only problem is that you must use the threaded pin that comes with the rack to secure the rack in the receiver hitch... Wish I could use the lock I have for the rest of my trailers/etc to secure the whole thing to the truck.
Question:	I read there is a lock available for the hitch, however is there a locking system for the bikes
Answer:	There is not a locking system for the bikes. The bikes are kept securely in place by the vertical bar with removable braces at the top. The bar will not fold down without the hitch key lock but the bikes could be removed by lifting over this bar. An additional bike lock would be recommended.
Question:	Can you buy the 2-bike rack and then an add-on for
Answer:	You can buy the four set up and then only assemble the first half (2) until you want to connect the second half later in life.
