Swagman XTC2 Versus XC2 Bike Rack Comparison
Question:
Whats the difference between a Swagman XTC and XC bike rack? What do you recommend and why?
asked by: Lance
Expert Reply:
If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the XTC-2, part # S64670. Not only does the XTC2 have rubber straps to better secure the wheels, but the wheel hoops themselves are much stronger and are slightly raised for better ground clearance.
The rack includes a threaded hitch pin, but I would also recommend the locking hitch pin, part # S64029. With the addition of two padlocks like part # 131D, your bikes would be secured to the rack.
