The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes # S64650-EXT and Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Recumbents Bikes # SA4412B-R are both frame mount recumbent racks for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches. They both have weight capacities of 35 pounds per bike when using a class I hitch. However the Saris # SA4412B-R can carry bikes up to 60 pound bikes if your hitch is a class II or higher where the Swagman # S64650-EXT remains at a 35 pound per bike capacity for all hitch classes.
The other significant difference is that the Swagman # S64650-EXT has a maximum wheelbase of 69 inches where the Saris # SA4412B-R has a maximum wheelbase of only 57 inches. slightly higher weight capacity at 50 lb per bike instead of the # HR1000Z-R which has a 45 lb per bike capacity.
