How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Swagman XTC2 Tilt bike carrier on our 2023 Kia Sportage. So the XTC is a frame-mounted bike carrier, and this also would. I would consider it to be an entry-level carrier. This is going to basically attach at the frame and your wheels to secure your bike to the frame. If you have a nicer paint job or if you have a bike that carbon fiber, that downward force wouldn't be ideal or a step-through bike, that could also cause issues as far as how you can secure it. You may wanna look towards other options. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2023 Kia Sportage- Video

Hi, everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks' Destination two-bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2023 Kia Sportage. This is gonna be a pretty entry level hitch-mounted bike rack, and this is going to be a platform-style bike rack, which means the bike sits on top of the rack. That is my preferred way to carry a bike just because it's generally a little bit more accommodating. And the Destination, although it is a more entry-level option, is one of my personal favorites. more

Swagman XC2 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 Kia Sportage- Video

Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking about the Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for two bikes on the 2023 Kia Sportage. Now, I'd recommend this to anyone who's kinda getting into biking. This is a very entry-level platform style bike rack, maybe it's just you and a friend who go out, but I'd definitely recommend it to the beginners. The Swagman's gonna be able to hold two bikes, 35 pounds each, so it won't be able to accommodate those heavier e-bikes. And it's gonna have only one tie-down point, and that's gonna be on its frame with this hook here. more
