What Is The Difference Between The Swagman XC and Swagman XTC-2 Bike Racks  

Question:

The Swagman XTC-2 and SwagmanXC both look good to me. Is there any advantage to spending $50 more for the XTC-2? thanks,

Expert Reply:

The main difference between the Swagman XC, part # S64650, and the Swagman XTC-2, part # S64670, is that the XTC-2 is capable of handling bikes with longer wheelbases, up to 66 inches, while the XC can handle bikes with a wheelbase up to 51-1/2 inches.

The XC has a shank rise of 4 inches, where the XTC-2 has a shank rise of 3 inches, which helps a bit when unloading and loading bikes. The XC can accommodate wheels up to 3-1/2 inches wide, while the XTC-2 can accommodate wheels up to 2-1/2 inches wide.

I have attached links to product review videos for both of these racks you can check out.

To secure your carrier to the hitch and also secure the bikes to the carrier I recommend part # S64031. This kit includes both the locking hitch pin for the hitch and a cable that secures the bikes to the carrier. You can take a look at the attached video for this lock system if you wish.
