[icon_fits] Class 3 - 2" Hitch Receiver
[icon_load] 60 lbs. per bike

Experience the ultimate blend of ruggedness and convenience with the Swagman Summit Vertical Hitch Mount Bike Rack. Designed to fit into 2" hitch receivers, the Summit can carry 4 bikes or ebikes up to 60 lb each. This versatile mountain bike rack can carry fat bikes too - tire trays are wide enough for 5" tires. Enjoy a secure, scratch-free journey with zero-frame contact trays, ratchet straps for tires, and our unique stay-saver strap, keeping your bikes snug even on the roughest terrain. Enjoy hassle-free access to the rear of your vehicle by tilting the Summit down with the cam-lever, and then lift it back into place easily, even with bikes loaded, thanks to the integrated easy-assist gas shock. Enhanced security is offered with a threaded locking hitch pin, and two secure anchor points for use with 3rd party lock-and-chain systems. Customize the fit of the rack on your vehicle with the two-position drawbar, and for larger groups, purchase the Add-On to maximize capacity to 6 bikes total. Finally, don't forget the integrated bottle opener for post-ride relaxation.

The minimum ground clearance required between the bottom of your rear wheel and the ground must be at least 15". In certain instances, even more ground clearance may be required ***
To understand ground clearance compatibility for your specific hitch, take the distance in inches from the ground to the center of your hitch-pin hole, add 48.5" to that number, and then subtract the wheelbase length of your longest bike measured from (hub to hub). The remaining number must be 15" or greater to safely use the Summit on your vehicle.

*Fitment Note: The Summit is engineered specifically for mountain bikes. While it may accommodate certain non-mountain bikes with tire sidewalls wider than the rims, we cannot guarantee fitment for all bike types. Please test-fit your gravel or non-mountain bikes to ensure the wheel tray does not contact or damage the rims.

** With the optional Add-On Kit, overall rack capacity is 270 lb, with no single bike exceeding 60 lb. We also recommend purchasing the optional Heavy Duty Shock Upgrade kit to increase the lifting strength of the Easy-Assist Gas Shock for use with 6 bikes.

*** The further away the Summit mast is installed (there are three mounting positions) from the vehicle, the more ground clearance is required to avoid bikes contacting the ground. Pay attention to departure angles when entering or exiting gas stations, ramps, or any other scenario where there is a sudden difference in the steepness of roadways. Drive according to conditions and keep an eye on the clearance between the ground and your bike tires. If your bike tire makes contact with the ground, your bike and/or the rack may get damaged.
