The Balutar-class swoop was a model of speeder bike manufactured by the Mandalore-based MandalMotors company. Due to its Mandalorian construction, the Balutar-class swoop was often colloquially referred to as a Mandalorian speeder bike or Mandalorian swoop. Just over two and a half meters in length, the Balutar's small size belied its powerful engine, and featured a low center of gravity that provided an incredible ease of control for its rider.

| - The Balutar-class swoop was a model of speeder bike manufactured by the Mandalore-based MandalMotors company. Due to its Mandalorian construction, the Balutar-class swoop was often colloquially referred to as a Mandalorian speeder bike or Mandalorian swoop. Just over two and a half meters in length, the Balutar's small size belied its powerful engine, and featured a low center of gravity that provided an incredible ease of control for its rider. During the pan-galactic Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Jedi Master and Grand Army of the Republic General Obi-Wan Kenobi, made use of a Balutar-class speeder bike while on Mandalore's moon of Concordia. When his investigation of the moon's abandoned beskar mines led to Kenobi's capture by the rogue Mandalorian splinter-faction known as the Death Watch, Duchess Satine Kryze—leader of the opposing pacifistic New Mandalorian faction—utilized a Balutar-class swoop of her own to track down the incarcerated Jedi and rescue him.
