Best Bike Rack to Carry 2 Brooklyn Cruisers with 2007 Volkswagen Passat

Expert Reply:

For a hitch mounted bike rack you can choose between a frame mount rack or a platform style rack. I recommend a platform style rack like the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, part # S64670. This bike rack will keep your bikes apart and makes for easier loading. The XTC-2 features padded hooks so you won't scratch your frame. The bikes are secured at the wheels and the frame.

Going with a hitch mounted platform rack is ideal, because your bikes are secured at the wheels and the frame. To secure the XTC-2 bike rack to the hitch and secure the bikes, I would recommend using the Swagman Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable, part # S64031.
