The Swagman Skaha has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel, not the frame. It's perfect for carrying bikes with a carbon frame or a custom paint job. To load your bikes, simply place your front wheels in the cradles, rotate the arms up and over the wheels, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hooks.
The wheel trays have ratcheting straps that secure your rear wheel to the rack. The straps slide along the tray to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. To secure your wheel, run the strap over the rim and back down through the strap buckle and pull tight. To remove your bike, press the quick-release button on the buckle and undo the strap.
The rack tilts with bikes loaded for easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. From behind the rack, pull the release lever at the base and tilt the rack down. When you raise the rack back up, it will make an audible click to let you know it's secure. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area.
When the rack is unloaded you can pull the lever to fold it up for storage. This means you don't have to remove it to park in small lots at the trail head or in cramped parking garages.
The rack installs with a threaded, anti-rattle hitch pin. Simply slide the shank into your hitch receiver, insert the threaded hitch pin, and tighten it down with the included tool. This will reduce noise and movement while the rack is installed.
A removable adapter sleeve is included so the rack can be converted for use with 1-1/4" hitch receivers. The sleeve attaches to the shank with a single screw and can be installed or removed quickly.
The included locks secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. A lock in each release button prevents the ratcheting hooks from being raised, so your bikes can't be removed from the rack. The hitch lock simply snaps onto the hitch pin. The hooks and hitch lock are keyed alike, so you'll only need 1 key for all locks.
An available telescoping ramp (sold separately) lets you easily roll your heavy e-bikes up and onto the trays so you don't have to lift your bikes onto the rack.
