The Swagman Skaha 2 provides a practical, versatile hitch-mounted solution for carrying two bikes to trailheads, campsites, or weekend rides. It secures bikes solely by the wheels with locking ratchet arms, avoiding any frame contact to protect carbon fiber and other delicate materials. This design suits a wide range of bikes, including road, mountain, fat, and e-bikes up to 60 lbs each. The rack fits both 1-1/4" (Class 2) and 2" (Class 3) receivers, offering flexibility across smaller crossovers, SUVs, trucks, and overland rigs.

Wheel trays handle 20"-29" wheels and tires up to 5" wide, making it ready for fat-tire setups without adapters. A tilt-away function grants easy access to the vehicle's rear even when loaded, while the rack folds compactly against the vehicle when empty. A threaded locking hitch pin is included for secure attachment. Built for real-world outdoor transport, the Skaha 2 emphasizes reliability, broad compatibility, and straightforward operation for adventurers who value gear protection and vehicle access. (Note: Not compatible with bikes that have front fenders.)
