If your mountain bike is fragile… you don’t have a mountain bike.

but I get the point, I guess.

there are less gaudy and simpler solutions..


The padding is to protect the fragile mountain bikes. I guarantee the tailgate will be the victor in a battle with a painted bicycle.

Half racks are fast and easy to install + remove… Can firm two MTBs on one of them if you don’t have the tent taking up space.

Certain parts of mountain bikes can be relatively fragile, such as disc brakes and the derailleur, so secure storage during transport is pretty important.

To each there own, but I prefer my 4-bike trailer-hitch mounted carrier.

Here on my fallback truck carrying my gravel bike:

No, bicycles, even MTBs, are just fragile compared to the unpainted Cybertruck. Bicycles have fragile paint and clearcoats unless they are one of the less than 1% that don't have paint.

Not the easiest thing to install if you don’t have a person to hold the tailgate half-way open, but it looks and feels high quality.

Is it secured with just 3 nylon webbing straps? Understand it was a little tricky to put on, but if someone wanted to steal it (to resell, use it, or just piss you off) could the they just cut the straps from the outside of the truck and pull it off? I know there’s a combo lock on the inside of the bed, but that seems kinda silly if it’s just a nylon strap… genuinely curious! Thx

What are you guys using to tie down your bikes through the molle straps? Top and bottom?

What is this shield for? Backing in to loading dock? I don't get it.
Some people will put bikes in the bed and the front wheel goes on the outside of the tailgate to strap it down. At least that is what I have seen
