Product Description

About Swagman


"Ride, paddle, explore:
seek your adventure"

That philosophy was the intention of founders Jim and Jan Morris who saw an opportunity to create a better way to transport your bike back in the early 90’s. Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch style bike rack. Over the years, that small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other ground breaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV and Automobile markets.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the bike rack. Some mention that it actually fits their bike, while others say that it doesn't fit their bike. The adapter bar is adjustable both lengthwise and the ends turn to help make the attachment. However, some customers say that the rack is too large for very small frames or kids bikes, and the retention bungee is way undersized. The length was a bit too long for the adapter to have any tension, making it difficult to mount the bike.

5 Stars
Amazing bike bar, fit my XL bike with ease.
I bought this bike bar because my MTB bike was being rested on the shock and I didn't want to damage it. It feels very high quality and it adjusts to your bike's length.I forgot to take a picture of my bike mounted, but I recently purchased a bike for my mother and I needed to use it for that bike as well and it worked equally well on her medium sized bike. I highly recommend this bar if you have a trunk mounted rack vs a hitch mounted.

This product works great for my wife's bike that has a low stand over bar. I wish I would of known this existed a long time ago. Before this device, I thought I was going to need a new bike rack which isn't cheap.
