Thanks for weighing in on this thread. Nothing against Detours of Maine, just to clarify, Detours of Maine does one thing: Carry a spare tire. If your priority is to carry a spare and nothing else, it'll do the job. It sits closer by sacrificing the ability to carry anything else with you.

The UltraSwing can swing out a spare tire, and bike rack, and mount a camp table, Rotopax, Hi-Lift, etc. As well as giving you the option to run it with our without the tire mounting plate if you ever have a need to swap the functionality for mounting a Waterport or another Rotopax to the front of the carrier.

For anyone reading this I would highly encourage watching our feature and accessory breakdown video breaking down specific features and functions we built into the UltraSwing in order to make an informed decision of what carrier is best for you.
