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 quality of the transport rack. Some mention that it stays solid, is sturdy enough to handle a lightweight and heavyweight bike, and is easy to put together. However, others say that the platform is rather flimsy, the rails are a bit floppy, and the construction is pretty barebones. The red straps look like they might fray easily, and it's hard for the claw to come apart easily.

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the transport rack. Some mention it holds the bike great, while others say that it's difficult to adjust for the length of your bike. The U-Bolts that it comes with do not fit over a crossbar width of over 3 1/2 inch, and the base feels a little flimsy. The wheels barely fit on this rack when fully extended, and it flexes and twists a bit.

    Customers are mixed about the lock. Some mention that the locking mechanism is pretty neat, clever, and robust enough to keep bike secure. However, others say that it can be a bit tricky and cumbersome to lock and unlock.

    "...Remember, the rack itself does not lock to the roof, so a would-be thief just needs to remove the rack (five thumb screws) to make off with the rack..." Read more

    "...The lock on the device is good and still works after being left outside on the roof for about half a years so far...." Read more

    "...Cons:* One drawback to this product is that it's not a quick lock system like some of the more expensive makes/models...." Read more

    "...The locks are good for a day trip but I would not trust them stopped overnight in a high crime area...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the stability of the bike carrier. Some mention that the bikes are held in place and secure without adjustment. However, others say that it moved so much and made all kinds of noise. The lock never worked, the bike frame slid out of it, and the metal rod slides in and out when the car goes around a turn.

    Cheap, easy to assemble and install!
    Saw this item on amazon when I was looking for a bike roof rack. It’s the most reviewed, some was negative, mostly positive. Some people are expecting way too much for a cheaply priced bike roof rack that’s what I think why it got some negative reviews. Before I installed it, I went to University of Youtube to see how people installed theirs which helped a lot! As you can see in my photos, it can accommodate 27.5 tires for MTBs and perfect for Road/Hybrid bikes! Now, the locking mechanism. It does comes with keys to “lock” the knob in place but, it will NOT KEEP YOUR BIKE SAFE from Thieves! I tested it out, turned the knob, locked it, took the key out and forcibly turn the knob open while it’s lock, it unlocked. Maybe the “locking” feature is for the knob not to turn loose while driving, maybe. But I’d rather get another anti-theft device. The Instruction manual actually states that it will not help protect against theft! 4 stars. The Rack where the tires stands are not solid. They are light, be careful not to accidentally step on them, they will bend easily. I also read some reviews that the knob when it’s not used, comes loose and in turn gets lost. Oh well, I guess I just have to find out myself. But for now, they look nice on my 2018 fxt.Update:10 mile drive to a state park near us @ 50mph.The is rack is sturdy, it does however “flex” if I hit a bump (I’m on Coilovers) and when the wind hits the bikes. I mentioned I’m on coilovers, which really make it easier for me to put the bike up the rack with no step. I’m 5’8” and my left arm is shorter than my right arm... freak accident a long time ago. I added 1 more photo, a scratch on my Wife’s bike made by the “claw” that holds the bike. I find it hard for the claw to come apart easily when you loosen the locking knob, I have to push the clamp/claw apart for the spring to work and push the claw apart while balancing the bikes on one hand. Glad the bikes are light. Wish they have made the claw/clamp a little softer to prevent scratches to the bikes but oh well, I will just need to cover the area of the bike that the clamp/claw attaches. I just need to buy more straps to “fully” secure the bikes. The Rack it self is hand-tightend, they use thumb screws to secure the u bolts to the crossbars. That being said, if you park your car overnight or some place dark and away from number of people, a “Crafty” Thief might be able to Steal them easily. They can just unscrew everything and there goes your bike rack.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to assemble BUT definitely worth it
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021
    I rarely write reviews but since I benefited from them for this purchase, here goes:
    Pros:
    - Very sturdy: I drove 300 miles thru mountains in ridiculous white out rain/wind and this brace did not budge. I was nervously looking thru the moonroof but my bike took a worse beating (luckily I had chain lube on hand). There was *some* movement when a hard gust hit but it was more of a squeaking sound and did not result in loosening at the attachment points [to the crossbars].
    - Very budget friendly: My bike is not the most expensive but it was def an investment at 1500 and when I reviewed alternate rack options (Thule), it just didn't see the value add.
    - Low profile: be it laziness or a reluctance to re-attach the rack to my crossbars (see below), it's stayed on except when I wash my car (and then I remove the crossbars w/ rack still attached).
    - Relatively easy to assemble: just have the right tools and make sure you tighten bolts appropriately. The instructions could have been more thorough but the graphics were helpful supplement.

    Cons:
    - More difficult to install: I had some trouble with the upside down clamps attaching to the crossbars and I have smaller hands. On the flip side, since the bolts install below the bar it makes for good theft deterrence (since some folks commented on the lock mechanism)
    - I have a shorter SAV and I'm 6'-0" but on flat pavement, it can be a struggle to hoist the bike up. A chunky mountain bike probably requires 2 ppl

    Add'l Thoughts
    - I used a bungee to render the handlebars stiffer. Would definitely recommend something to limit movement.
    - Lock: I wouldnt consider the locking mechanism thorough by any stretch but it definitely makes it more difficult to steal. A thief would have to undo the crossbar attachments and walk off with the rack attached to the bike - it's not like they're just lifting a bike off and riding down into the sunset. If you're that concerned, secure the bike w a cable lock while away.

    This is a really cost-effective way to transport your bikes. I was a bit nervous when I bought them, but am extremely pleased with the product. I have 4 racks over the bed of my truck on solid metal rails (I think this helps). The racks were easy to put together and hold the bike in place with minimal shaking even on the highway.

    I will repost after I've had them for a few months and give a condition update.

    While the rack works well, the provided nut isn’t secure and keeps falling off the bolt. I can hear it clattering while I drive. I already lost two. Replacing the bolt with zip ties seems to work quite well.
