Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Excellent product; easy to install & easy to mount & remove my 2 bikes on the rack; very sturdy rack & the delivery was expeditious (ordered it Monday, got it Thursday).
I bought the S64650 Bike rack and the 75902 Trailer hitch for my 2017 Rogue. First, the product information provided for these, and all, products is fantastic. There is almost so much information, it is sometimes hard to choose the right product. They all seem very good. I also found the hitch installation video to be a great help. I watched it a couple of times and then watched bits of it during the installation. The install went exactly as described in the video. Extremely helpful. I am also happy with the bike rack. Easy to put together, and my first trip out with the bikes was uneventful. Seemed solid. I will say that putting the bike on the track closest to the car requires a bit of care, since it is so close to the vehicle. However, I found that if you put the "hold down" arm for the inside bike on the top, then I can simply slide it off and more easily lower the bike into the tracks. Then put the arm back and and push it down to secure the bike. Much easier than trying to maneuver the bike around the arm and into the track without hitting the vehicle. I will need to get some racks for our kayaks soon, and will definitely use etrailer again.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I have only had it one day but it was delivered fast with no damage or missing parts. The rack was easy to assemble and get two 29er mountain bikes fitted. I have it on a 2013 Nissan Rogue with a 2" receiver.
I must tell you, my excellent rating is based on the ease of putting the unit together, and how simple it was to attach to my Nissan Rogue. It is perfect for two bikes, even my wifes step through with a slant bar. But that's about all I can say, as the weather in the Northeast, and here in Buffalo, has been so crappy, the unit has done nothing but sit in my garage for 3 weeks! I'm sure it will be GREAT when I can use it, as I did a test ride of about 5 miles on pothole filled streets, and the bikes and rack were absolutely solid! I hope to get the rack in action before July. Joking...sort of!

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
awesome, adjustable bike trailer, I was able to use it on my Nissan Rogue and Toyota Corolla
Quality product that has been easy to use. I wanted something that could be kept on my Pathfinder and still allowed me to open the back hatch. We can quickly switch it to my wife's Rogue with a few length adjustments.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Bought this to transport my children's bicycles; for the smallest bike (6 year olds) the bike is too small to fit on this properly; fortunately its also small enough to put inside our Nissan Rogue, so not the end of the world. For my 8 year old it just fits and its fine for my adult bike. I keep the rack on all the time as it doesn't get in the way when not in use, and attaches very solidly. My only other comment would be I am a short small person, and its a struggle to get the bikes attached. The strap system was definitely designed for someone with bigger stronger hands, so its unnecessarily frustrating. Overall it does what I need it to.
Thule passage 3 bikes carrier is an amazing product. I love the product design, quality and easy to install for use.

Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
So far really great! I love the stability my bike has on the rack, fit for my 2021 Honda Civic, and the quality of the material engineered into the design to prevent damage to the cars paint/parts.
Works great even using an electric bike like my Aventon Soltera.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Pros: - Super solid construction, heavier than I expected. - Fold up / Tilt-away features are fast and easy - installation was incredibly easy - packaging was solid Cons - Not a fan of the rubber straps. They're not difficult to install...but don't always create an exact snug fit depending on your bike frame. You also must pay extra attention to ensure the strap sits fully within the nubs - I had one pop off during travel as it may not have buttoned down perfectly. - There is A LOT of 'tolerance' in the hitch insert tube - this creates a lot of sway when turning corners. Not a reassuring feeling to see the entire rack shaking left and right!
It's a great bike rack and It can accomadate my children's bikes without an adapter bar.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
This is a very solid product! I have used it for over a year now and love it! I have had up to 3 bikes on this without a problem and have traveled over 8 hours in the car one way with absolutely no issues. Many other bike racks like this one that I see on other cars look unstable this is not unstable in anyway. I did have to file some of the paint off of the rack to get it to fit in my 1 and 1/4" hitch but once that was done it has been perfect. I also bought the locking hitch bolt which is awesome too.
Well built and good quality. So glad I can haul bikes easier with our Honda Pilot now!

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.
GI love the Rack, it is easy for me to handle, (as a 89 yearold rider.), two bikes ride and fit very nicely. Like how it folds down,and how it folds to open the tailgate . Great quality for the money, I would highly recommend this rack

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Easy Online research and ordering. Very helpful staff for questions. Product delivered in 2 days to CO. Great online Install info (videos, pictures, etc). Will buy again.
My previous bike rack was a hitch mounted Yakima. It was sturdy but not well suited for my low Subaru Impreza. It stuck out too far and hung too low so that I had to inch my way down the driveway or over speed bumps for fear of it bottoming out. A roof rack or a rear window mounted rack was not suitable since I wanted to be able to also carry two kayaks. First, I tried to modify my rack by shortening the part that sticks out of the hitch. I tried to saw off about 6 inches so it wouldn't stick out so far but the steel was much too hard. I ended up ruining several metal-cutting blades on my power saw before I gave up. I looked for other rack options. There weren't many out there. But eventually, I found something that met my needs. I purchased the "Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Fold Down Bicycle Hitch Rack" in 2013 from eTrailer.com. The part that enters the hitch curves up to increase clearance from the ground. It is sturdy and sticks out far enough so I can still open my trunk hatch without having to lower the main vertical bar on the hitch (though I could if I wanted to). It isn't often I am really excited about a piece of gear but this hitch rack has made me worry-free when I transport my bicycle(s) via car. The only thing I don't like is that it is advertised as being a 3 bike carrier but it only fits 2 hybrid bikes. Maybe it will fit 3 skinny racing bikes but for the average rider, don't expect to fit on more than 2. But my experience is that is the case for all bicycle racks.

Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray
Fantastic bike rack. Switch it between a Honda Ridgeline and a Subaru Outback Wilderness and it works perfectly. Accidentally lost the locking pin that secures the rack to the trailer hitch and when I inquired with Kurt about ordering a replacement lock keyed to match the locking cables on the rack and the Kuat rep sent one to me for free. (I removed the rack and left the lock sitting on my car bumper. Later that day I drove off and lost the lock on the highway).
Great bike rack. It is easy to install the hitch on a vehicle and to remove it. The Kuat NV 2.0 provides a smooth, gentle ride for road bikes and mountain bikes. Great purchase. Highly recommend.

Rola Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Decent 4-bike rack for the price. Stable side-to-side with the screw-in hitch pin (2 inch receiver version). Gets some fore-aft rocking over bumps at speed (inherent to the tilting design). Bikes need bungee cords to keep them from swinging (typical for this style of rack). I used this with two bikes, and really struggle to see how four full-size bikes could be added. Maybe if seats were removed? I added bumpers and some padding for the vertical post, and will probably relocate the retainer pin lanyard so the rack can be completely collapsed for storage. A few design improvements for 5 star rating would be: 1 - Add some bumpers for the fully lowered position, 2 -Add some padding on the vertical post for bike contact or accidental vehicle hatch lifting when in the raised position, 3 - Mount the retainer pin lanyard to one of the through-bolts or move the lanyard hole - collapsing this rack chews up the retaining lanyard. etrailer.com service was great - well packaged, and quickly shipped!
Excellent service and fast shipping by etrailer. Bike rack itself was easy to put together and install. It came in with a few scratches. It works well with large bikes. Slight problems started with the smaller bikes. The rack's arms are wide enough to accommodate the bikes, but the slides are not designed for smaller frames. If you have smaller bikes you might have to purchase the bike frame adapter bar for each bike. It's not a huge problem for us since the kids are growing up fast and soon they will have to graduate to the large frame bikes. In the mean time I will have to use extra straps to hold them together.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is a very nice piece of hardware for what I need. I wanted a carrier built well enough to haul 4 bikes several hundred miles without damage. I also was impressed that it gives a little extra clearance at the back, because of how it angles up from the pavement. I am using this unit with a Nissan Rogue, and my U-Haul hitch doesn't come out quite far enough to allow it to swing into the upright position. I emailed etrailer for a solution, and their answer was extremely thorough and helpful. (I will need to get a hitch extender with an anti rattle device; I just haven't done that yet.) Dealing with etrailer.com was fantastic. This is a SUPER professional, courteous group to deal with; they're education- and service-oriented. More online businesses should pattern themselves after etrailer's model. You can't help but want to do more business with them!
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
Installation: Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hey, everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. What we have here is going to be a platform-style bike rack able to accommodate up to two bikes at an impressive 80 pounds each for their weight rating, which means that our heavier e-bikes are going to be an option for this. Now unfortunately, one of our main points of contact is going to be from the center mass, and it's going to be making that frame contact, which means that our carbon frame bikes unfortunately are not going to be an option for this rack. However, since our hook does have the ability to move up and down this rack pretty freely, that means that we're going to be able to accommodate most alternative frame bikes. Now, this rack does come with a tilt-away feature.
Yakima OnRamp E-Bike Platform Rack with Ramp Review - 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hi everybody. Cooper here at etrailer. And today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima OnRamp on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. What we have here is going to be a platform style bike rack able to hold up to two bikes individually rated for 66 pounds each. Unless we're going to be taking it off-roading or putting in our RV, then that drops our weight capacity down to 40. So if we do have it on a normal car, 66 pounds each.
How to Install: Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on your 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt Premium four-bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. This is gonna be a hanging style bike rack that holds the bike by the frame hanging down below the arms. There's three main points of contact to make this work all in the form of these stretchy rubber straps that hold the bike frame down into the cradles, with that third one being around the side here, limiting our side to side movement and helping with bike to bike contact. One thing I'll point out right away with the Nissan Rogue is that the whole rack sits very close to the vehicle. And that also means that this inner bike sits close to the vehicle.
Beginner’s Guide to Installing the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hey, everybody. Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 on our 2021 Nissan Rogue.

Our two main points of contact are going to be a ratcheting hook on our front tire, and a wheel clamp here on our back tire. Since we're making no-frame contact, our alternative frame bikes, as well as our carbon frame bikes are also going to be options here.
Install: Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination 2 on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. What we're gonna have here is a platform style bike rack able to accommodate up to two bikes individually weight rated at 35 pounds each which means unfortunately our heavier e-bikes are not going to be available for this rack. We're going to have three main points of contact, a rubber strap on our front and back tire as well as a center mast making frame contact here as our main point. So unfortunately, our carbon frame bikes are not going to be an option either. One really nice thing is though that our main point of contact on our center mast here does move up and down while also having the ability to rotate, meaning that we can accommodate most alternative frame bikes.

2021 Nissan Rogue RockyMounts GuideRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes: Complete Installation
Hey everybody. Cooper here at etrailer and today we're going to be taking a look at the Rocky Mounts Guide Rail on our 2021 Nissan Rogue. Our rack is going to be a two platform style bike rack, being able to hold up to 60 pounds per bike each which means that our heavier rated e-bikes are going to be an option here.

How to Set Up Your Malone Runway HM2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we have the Malone Runway 2-Bike Platform Rack, and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Nissan Rogue. So the owner of this vehicle actually got this bike rack, because they're looking for something that is lightweight where they can easily lift it up and into their hitch receiver, but also, is affordable, so that's definitely where this sits. Now, you do have some pros and cons with this type of bike rack, like it does take a little bit more work to its features like tilt it away and fold it up, and we're gonna focus on that, focusing on the Nissan Rogue. There are two length settings for this bike rack, we have it at the furthest out setting, and even then, we still have a little bit of a close call when it comes to mountain bikes. So if you have long handlebars, this is something you have to be mindful of as the bike rack shifts around. If you need to tilt the bike rack away with the bike on, this does tilt away.
Compatible? Yes! The Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Fits a 2021 Nissan Rogue
Hi, everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hanging-Style Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. Now, with this being a hanging-style bike rack, that does mean the bike is going to hang by the frame. You've got these dual arms with four sets of cradles, so capable of carrying up to four bikes, and having three points of contact on that frame. Two straps over the top that hold it down into these deep cradles, and the third one on the seat post here, acting as an anti-sway cradle, which does (indistinct) our side to side movement, helping with bike to bike contact and preventing the bike from running into our vehicle. A lot of different bike racks that we've tested today had clearance issues with the Nissan Rogue.

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the RockyMounts MonoRail 2-Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack and what that means is the bike sits on top of the rack rather than hanging from it. This particular one has two wheel cradles and a front wheel hook. That wheel hook is gonna be the primary thing that keeps the bike upright and still and it does a really good job at that.

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Skaha 2 platform style bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Nissan Rogue. Now this is going to be kind of a mid-range bike rack, but able to work with a wide range of bikes. With this being a platform style rack the bike is going to sit on top of the rack in these wheel cradles, and this particular one holds the bike in place primarily by our front wheel hook right here. That's gonna be the thing that holds the bike upright and keeps it still for the most part, and it does a pretty good job at getting a strong hold on the bike.

We've got a clamp up top holding onto our frame wherever it fits best. It can rotate around 360 degrees and move around the mast here to adapt to different frame styles. So a good option for alternative frames.
