Canadian manufacturer of bike racks including hitch, trunk, and RV-specific models. Popular for affordable RV bike carriers.
Swagman is the Canadian bike rack brand that's been the default recommendation for tow-vehicle and RV applications for about as long as anyone has been taking bikes to campgrounds. Founded in 1989 in Penticton, British Columbia, the company specializes in racks that fit the vehicles nobody else wants to deal with — RV bumpers, spare-tire mounts, and fifth-wheel pins.
Their RV-Approved line is the reason: most hitch bike racks void their warranty the moment you put them on a motorhome because of the bounce. Swagman engineers specifically for that abuse. The RV-Approved stamp on a rack means it's been tested for thousands of miles of RV bounce.
Pricing is mid-tier. The aesthetic is utilitarian. If you're taking bikes on a travel trailer or Class C, Swagman is usually the safe answer.
Did you know?
Swagman's "RV-Approved" bike rack certification requires the rack to survive an 8-hour continuous vibration test on a hydraulic shaker table — the same testing RV manufacturers use for holding tank mounts.
