This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
I needed a 5 bicycle rack that could handle all our family bikes, including our 3 children's (5, 7 and 10 yrs. old) for our yearly vacation. This one seemed to be pretty versatile, not requiring additional bars for most bikes.
While it took some work to make all bikes fit just right (especially the little ones), we made the 4 hour trip to the mountains just fine; no excessive movement (though it does sway a little), no damage to the bicycles (I used pipe insulating foam tube pieces in a couple of spots where bikes rubbed each other) and an overall uneventful trip, even on some not-so-smooth roads. Getting the kids' bikes on was kinda tricky (the littlest one had to travel upside down!) but it worked out fine--I don't think it would have been so with some of the other 2-bar models. However, if I had to load all 5 bikes on a regular basis I'd probably be looking for a different option. Also, something this rack (and most others too) could use is some kind of reflective finish on the end of the tube... can never be too safe!

This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
Love the bike rack. We went over 600 miles one way through NY City and was no problem for the bike rack. Never had one problem the whole trip. After loading and unloading a few times you start to get the hnag of it. Only thing is, if you have a bike with an oversized frame, mountain bike, kids bikes, you will have to go puchase an add on bar for each bike. They attach from handle bar to under seat and then you raise the seat as high as it can go. Once these add on bars were purchased it was a cinch. But we were dead in the water, until we purchased those. The cradles only fit the regular size tubing or slightly larger of bike frame. Loved it though. Thanks Swagman

This review is from: Swagman XP Fold Down 5-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
I have owned 2 bike racks. One was not worth anything, the other was difficult to use. This is the perfect rack.
1) Five bikes, few others do this. 2) The cradles are adjustable on angle with initial setup. This is the definitive factor! If you've never used a rack try to put bikes of different size and style if you don't have this feature. Just try... 3) The cradles are well designed, padded great, and can accommodate a large range of frame. 4) It folds down which is huge if you use a locking pin. This is one of the best designed products I have used in a long time.
