CURT Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Honda Odyssey Video

If you're wanting to be able to tilt the rack so you can access the back hatch and keep your bikes loaded, both the Curt Premium #C18064 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro #TH934XTR do not allow tilting with the bikes installed. So I don't…

Actually loading a womans bike on the Swagman XTC4, #S64665, is the same as for a mens bike. The issue on alternative frame bikes is the top frame tube often dips lower instead of going straight across like on a typical mens bike. I have included a…

The Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack #S64665 does include a hitch lock. The hitch pin is threaded as well to serve as an anti-rattle device, which will minimize movement of the bike rack in the trailer hitch receiver. The threaded hitch pin locks to the…

The Swagman XTC4, item #S64665, will accept many different styles of bike frames. The frame ratchet hooks will adjust to approximately 13 inches above the wheel holders. You can also adjust the wheel holders left and right somewhat to accommodate…
