Swagman straddler

The Swagman Straddler Bike Rack Frame Adapter Bar solves the common challenge of transporting step-through frames, women's bicycles, dual-suspension mountain bikes, and cruiser bikes on standard hitch or trunk-mounted bike carriers. Many modern and alternative bike frames lack a straight top tube, making them difficult or impossible to mount securely on dual-arm hanging bike racks. The Straddler acts as a heavy-duty temporary top tube, creating a level mounting surface so your bike hangs safely and securely during travel.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a durable, scratch-resistant finish, the Swagman Straddler features a telescoping mechanism that easily adjusts to fit a wide range of frame lengths and distances between the seat post and handlebar stem. The vinyl-coated hooks clamp securely around your bike’s components, protecting delicate paint and carbon finishes from scratches, scuffs, and trail vibration. Easy to install and remove without tools, this adapter bar is an essential accessory for any cyclist or family looking to transport unconventional frame styles safely.
