Platform Style Bike Rack For Fat Bikes Recommendation
Question:
I am interested in the Swagman XTC 2 hitch mount bike rack for 2inch hitch and have a fat bike. Will a fat bike fit in the wheel mounts? What options do I have? Thx.

Expert Reply:
The Swagman XTC-2, part # S64670, can accommodate bike wheels up to 2-1/2 inches wide. Since the wheels on a fat bike are typically much wider, your bike would not work with the XTC-2.
We do have a bike rack that will work for you. I recommend the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY10007-05. This is a platform-style rack that will work in either 1-1/4 or 2 inch receivers. This carrier will handle bike wheels up to 5 inches wide.
