Overview
Swagman builds this hitch platform rack with ratcheting hooks that clamp each bike and wheel straps that hold the tires in their trays. The rack tilts down for access to the back of the vehicle and folds up when not in use.
Fit and security are why to buy it: it works with both common receiver sizes, and the hooks and hitch pin lock. The per bike weight limit is modest, so most e-bikes and heavy downhill bikes are too much for it.
Who it's for
Riders with standard road, gravel or mountain bikes who want a locking platform will find it fits most frames. E-bike owners and anyone hauling three bikes need a different rack.
Pros and cons
- Fits both common hitch receiver sizes
- Locking hooks and hitch pin
- Tilts for rear vehicle access
- Folds for compact storage
- Too light duty for most e-bikes
- Heavy to lift on and off
Performance notes
Stability comes from cradling both wheels in trays and pressing a ratcheting hook down on each tire or frame, so bikes do not swing. The threaded hitch pin draws the rack tight in the receiver to reduce wobble. Total load on the hitch includes the rack's own weight.
