The Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack # S64665 doesn't have the ability to convert to a 2-bike rack, but we have plenty of other options that do.

If you like the Swagman line of bike racks then the next step up is the Swagman Quad 2+2 # S64FR which has a little bit of a different design but it does allow you to convert it to a 2-bike rack when needed, plus it can carry up to 45 lbs per bike as opposed to the 35 lbs per bike for the XTC4.

I have attached review videos of each for you to check out.
