The Swagman Skaha 2 Plus Add-On extends the functionality of your existing Skaha 2 Plus hitch rack, increasing total capacity from two to four bikes. This makes it practical for group outings, family camping trips, or overlanding setups where multiple riders need secure transport to trailheads or remote campsites.

It attaches directly to the Skaha 2 Plus base rack and uses the same zero-frame-contact locking ratchet arms that secure bikes by the front tire—protecting carbon fiber frames and avoiding frame damage common with traditional clamp-style designs. Wheel trays handle tires up to 5 inches wide, accommodating fat-tire mountain bikes and many e-bikes without adapters.

Weight distribution remains realistic: configure for 60 lb per bike on the inner two positions (original rack) and 30 lb on the outer two (add-on), or balance at 45 lb per bike across all four for even loading. The full assembly retains the folding capability when not in use, keeping vehicle length manageable during travel or parking at trail access points.

This add-on prioritizes clean, frame-safe security and broad bike compatibility for adventurers who already own the Skaha 2 Plus and want to scale up without replacing the entire system. Optional Ramp & Bridge (sold separately) can ease loading heavier bikes.
