Overlanding didn’t suddenly change overnight, but heading into 2026, something feels different. Less about flex builds and constant upgrades. More about intention, versatility, and getting out there more often. This is the quiet shift shaping the future of overlanding.
Escapee Bike Rack
FREE SHIPPING
The Swagman Escapee is Swagman’s most versatile RV-approved bike rack. It carries 2 bikes up to 60 lb each, making it ebike approved. It installs into 2” hitch receivers on travel trailers, RVs, motorhomes and fifth-wheels. Locking zero frame contact ratchet arms secure the front wheel of the bike by the tire, making it safe for carbon fiber frames. The tire trays work with tires up to 5” wide, making the Escapee compatible with fat bikes out of the box. Finally, with the optional Ramp & Bridge (sold separately), you can make loading heavy, larger bikes a breeze by simply rolling them up into place on the rack.
