The old one which had a black wire + support struts: Absolutely not
The newer one: Some people say yes, some people say no. Your mileage may vary.

Worth getting the support struts in my experience, the main bolt of my (heavily loaded) bagman sheared at the end of an offroad weekend tour
-
I'd be tempted to go for an SQR one. They're a bit more stable and there was even (briefly) an off road model (the Glentress).

I rode it down canals / gravel etc no trouble providing not over about 8-10kg, then it does start to bounce.
Solution, fit the supporting struts and you could easily ride blue trails etc

Get the support struts and it will be. I've used the bagman qr with the support struts and a camper longflap on my fully rigid bike and it's been super solid. Main weakpoint is the bolt that clamps bagman on the saddle rails. Check it periodically if it's still tight and carry a replacement bolt just in case.

Looking into upgrading my luggage carrying setup and getting a Carradice saddlebag.
At the minute I’ve got the super c saddlebag and the bagman expedition qr in my basket. From the reading I’ve been doing on various forums I’ve heard varying things about the bagman, is this referring to an older model as most posts seem to be around 2013/15.
Essentially what I’m asking is, would the bagman qr be suitable for some off road trail riding, nothing major as it’ll be on a fully rigid!
