Really happy with my purchase. First time I bought a bike rack. After checking a couple of reviews, decided with this model for quality-price.
Couple of notes (good and less good)
- relatively easy to install, although written instructions could be a little clearer (illustrations size is realy small)
- Works great and is really secure and solid
- tilt feature is a great option (part of why I choose this model), but is a bit hard to make work
- black coating paint is really easy to scratch

I’ve used this rack a few times now and overall I’m very happy with it. It was relatively easy to assemble and since I don’t want to leave it on my car all the time, it is easily removable when not in use. One tip - definitely tighten the bolt into the hitch ‘very tight’ as the instructions dictate. Otherwise there is a bit of play in the hitch mount. The tilt feature is a must have!

I am a 68 yo woman, recently retired, looking to take my bike places. Wanted a bike rack I could handle, not too heavy, complicated, yet reliable to use. Wanted the bike tray type for the wheels, so I don't have to lift my hybrid Giant bike too high. Considered Yakima Hold Up and Thule, but way too much $$$$ for amount I would be using the rack. Decided to give this Swagman (which had many great reviews & suggestions) a try to attach to my 2020 Subaru Forester.
I tried putting it together, per instructions, to no avail. Asked my son to help. Then after reading reviews on "easy to put together (not)", I decided to give it another try. It took me about 1.5 grueling hours, reading, re-reading the instructions (not very user friendly, I would be happy to write Swagman new ones), I finally did it!!!! Felt so accomplished and proud. Many said the instructions made sense once you were successfully done, true, but they could have been better, for sure.
Got my bike secured and just took it for a trial run about town. Very little wobble, my bike feels secure. The tilt feature is great, as can still open the hatchback. The rack is heavy to take...

All parts were received, installation was easy (by my son!) and it fits well and is sturdy on my Acura RDX. I did a test drive with my bike on the rack around the neighborhood and it did fine. I don't plan on travelling over many unpaved roads. The best part is the ability to tilt the rack away from the back of my car so loading/unloading bikes will not scratch up my car! Like others, I wish Swagman had charged a little more to include the hitch pin lock. I had to order one from Amazon. But, so far, so good!

Got this for my wife’s vehicle and she absolutely loves it. Got it with the locking cable as well which ensures we can secure bikes and hitch to car with no problems. Was easy to install and works very well. Easy to tilt which allows here full access to the back of the SUV without having to take the bike rack or bikes off which is fantastic and definitely worth the little extra over the models that don’t tilt. Far less expensive than Thule and some other brands but we have found it to be just as easy to use and install and it is really sturdy and well built and the locking cable add on is great and easy to use as well. Would definitely recommend for anybody looking for such an item - think it’s great value for the money and good quality product.

This is a very well built bike rack! Less than 15mins to assemble and light enough to be carried and installed into a receiver by man or woman. Very sturdy, esp since it come with a threaded bolt and washer that prevents extra wobble and rattle! I’ve been able confidentially pack my bike onto this rack and travel all over the state of Florida, to do cardio in other cities, not just my own. The tilt works excellent, plenty of room to get in the trunk. Folds up and fits right in the trunk when your done riding. I leave it in the trunk since I bike often. It’s a great investment! I’ve already recommended to friends.

This product was easily assemble. I needed assistance when attaching the unit to the hitch. The product is easy to use. The handle bar that clamps down to secure the bike is also easy to install and remove. For reasons of theft, I do not leave them on the unit when I am away from my vehicle. I feel that the straps to hold the wheels in place are secure. There is enough clearance between the bumper and unit that permits me to open and close my hatchback with ease when the unit is not in use. The tilt function works well and also provide easy access to the hatchback.
I am somewhat disappointed with the adjustable wheel baskets as they do not stay in place no matter how hard I tighten them. As soon as I put the unit back in the upright position they slide out of place causing me to have to adjust each use.

Just a great bike rack for the price, sturdy, our two bikes are solidly held in place even on very bad and bumpy roads, and the icing on the cake is the fact that it tilt away from our minivan allowing the opening of the tailgate without removing the bikes, also it is very easy to install the bikes on the rack.
Awesome product from a canadian company!

Very pleased with this purchase. Moved from a 4 bike to this 2 bike carrier. I have a beach Cruiser style women's bike and have a hard time making it fit other bike racks without the special bar adapter that you have to purchase to make my style of bike compatible with most other bike racks ( I have had issues with these bars bending). This bike rack eliminated that dumb bar for me! Yay, one less thing to worry about and adjust!
I also found that my bike (beach cruiser) would always sit lower than other bikes on bike racks that hold bikes by their frames and not the wheels. This was another reason I purchased this model as there is no more concern on whether or not my bike might hit the ground when we go over a dip or coming out of a steep driveway. Love the sliding padded- frame holders - having the press release on these instead of the twist kind is also a bonus... quicker and faster!
The Tire holders work well with thin 10speed style, standard, and mountain bike tires. Fat tires will NOT fit in this one, but this was not an issue for our family.
Carrier does not wobble more than just a tiny bit and that is because of the movable tilt...
