This platform-style rack lets you carry your mountain bikes, road bikes, or other odd-shaped bikes on your vehicle. Rack tilts with bikes loaded for rear cargo area access and folds up for storage.Extremely surprised at the quick delivery of the bike rack! Assembly was easy and completed in less than 30 minutes. So much easier loading the bikes and really like the tilt feature. Pleased we chose the Swagman over other brands we researched. 829083
Very well made rack. Trays and hold down arms confidently secure bike. I added a security screw on each side of the arms that hold the trays, to prevent anyone from stealing the trays. Also added two inexpensive waterproof locks for about $12 for both to secure the hold down clamps. 815031
Works great. No problems, easy assembly. 705858
I bought my first Swagman bike rack about ten years ago. It still works fine. When I saw Swagman now has a tilt model, I decided to buy one because we have two vehicles that have big doors on the back that can't be accessed without a rack that tilts. So now I use the old Swagman on my Toyota Landcruiser that has clam shell doors on the back and the new Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Platform Rack for the other two cars. Both racks work great-easy to put on and off and easy loading and unloading my bikes. I believe the Swagman is the best two-bike hitch on the market 792633
I could not have imagined a better bike rack ! Great quality and easy to assemble . 793671
Does what it's supposed to do! After trying a $35 hanging rack this was a huge improvement. Interstate travel, no problem. Dirt roads, no problem. Attatched to a Honda CR-V so the dirt roads aren't anything crazy. Like the tilt away feature, which the hanging rack had, but this is better because the bikes are secured at 3 points and don't swing out with the rack. The tilt away center riser is a nice touch as well. I would buy it again. 883604
etrailer.com was very helpful in the phone conversation that preceded my purchase. (Other than the 38 minute wait). I received the XTC-2 tilt within 4 days on standard purchase, without paying extra for shipping. This was great service. I have installed and used the XTC-2 tilt and am happy with it at this point. My 5 year old son figured out what to do to make it work (thoroughly enjoyable to watch him) and was thrilled with putting the bikes on the rack and going to the bike park. I am currently pleased with everything (except the long wait time, and difficulty finding the etrailer phone number -- which might have been obvious and i missed it) so 5 stars. It is too soon to rate the product; one needs some time to see how it holds up. Nonetheless I am pleased. 872399
Order on Monday, delivered on Wednesday! etrailer is an amazing company! Thank you! Have looked at other manufacturers for almost double the costs, and this product will fill the bill. Unpacked and set up on truck in one hour, and picked up bikes that day. All was great! Thanks for having products in stock and ASAP. 872001
Good quality, holds the bikes very secu rely. 871812
I highly recommend this bike rack. I did a lot of research and this one scored the best. It is solidly built and the hardware pieces (like knobs, bolts, etc) work extremely well. The tilting stem feature is really handy for loading/unloading the inside bike and for getting into the back of my SUV. Once mounted the bikes seem secure while driving. One big decision is upgrading to a rack with built-in locks. To do so, adds around $100. The added expense, to me, is not worth it. I simply used a cable and key-lock which was bought a while back for less than $20. BTW, assembly was easy. It took about 20 minutes, and the needed wrenches are included. I also strongly suggest you purchase from etrailer since their customer service is excellent. You can buy this rack on Amazon, but it will cost you more and you won't get anything near the customer service etrailer offers. 871600
My bike rack seems to solve the problem of how to transport my electric bikes. However, I have step-thru type bikes so I am going to need the frame adjustable cross bar in order to secure them completely to the Swagman rack. 871510
Well made. As good as a Hollywood but a lot cheaper. 871333
Installed yesterday and everything seemed pretty straightforward. Not too much wobble once the hitch pin was tightened. It feels sturdy and well made and I'm looking forward to using it this weekend. This is a big improvement over the strap on rack I used to use. I'll be getting a locking hitch pin and bike cable soon for better security. 869671
I am hugely impressed with the quality of your company's process. With so many options and vendors available, your attention to detail, follow thru and right-on advice have proven themselves to be spot-on in every particular. I will sing your praises at every opportunity. :-) 872567

Directions weren't great, but any thoughtful person can figure out how it must go together. You will need a pair of 3/4" wrenches and a phillips screwdriver. Seems to be a nice product and easy to use. Nice having 2 ways to be able to open the cars hatchback. 862369
Construction, finish, fit and function exceeded expectations. Very happy we chose this one. Also we had ordered wrong lock to go with this. They called us to get it sorted. Fabulous customer service. 862262
We put it together and connected to our hitch but have not used it beyond loading and unloading the bike (which went well). Looks like it will work well fir us, but can't really say until we have used it for a while. 858899
Easy to assemble. Very practical in that you can open rear door even with bike rack attached. 831760
I like the Swagman XTC-2 TILT as it's well designed and sturdily built. Good value for the money. Have it on my 2018 Forester and it's a swell fit with no jiggling about. The tilt works well and is so convenient. Made a good purchase and thanks for the excellent website with its questions, answers, tips and speedy service. 831454
Does not tilt far enough, need to remove bikes to raise liftgate on 2019 traverse. Could have saved a lot of money by getting a non tilting bike rack. Disappointed. 830137
This Swagman Platform Hitch Bike Rack is a vast improvement over my previous more expensive Thule Hanging Hitch Bike Rack. I'll soon be turning 70 and hoisting my bike at an awkward angle on to the hanging rack was becoming more and more of a challenge. The Swagman also holds the bike in place much more securely. I would recommend this item to anyone considering a hitch mounted device. FYI my present vehicle is a Subaru Forester and the tilt out feature with the bike(s) fully loaded is also a great feature. 828523
VERY easy to use and set up. I can place rack and load two bikes in five minutes (I timed myself). Even less time to reload bikes after our ride. The bikes don't swing or move about even on gravel roads which protects the car finish from dings. Price is great and I like the Swagman Website for this Canadian company. Tilt ability to get into hatch of our stationwagon only takes seconds. Balanced so it easy to move rack even when loaded with bikes Wheel wells adjusting screen is stiff 825562
