Will the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon and Carry Recumbent Bikes
Question:
I have a 2011 Subaru Outback with the OEM hitch installed. This is a class 1 receiver hitch. Can I use the Swagman XTC-2 in that hitch and haul 2 recumbents?

Expert Reply:
The Swagmant XTC-2, # S64670, does indeed fit a Class I trailer hitch like the one on your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon. You will need to determine the wheel base of the recumbent bikes you have to see if this rack can hold them.
The XTC-2 can carry a bike with a wheel base up to 66 inches long, measured center to center between the wheels. I have included a picture showing a recumbent bike on this rack for you. I have included links to the instructions and a video review for you to view.
