Kids Ride Shotgun

Quickfit MTB Tow Rope

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I've used a few different tow setups over the years and the clip-in system on the Quick Fit is the most intuitive by a long shot. The carabiner and stem loop give you real options depending on the bike, and the stretch in the rope is tuned well enough that even a hard-charging kid doesn't get yanked off their line. It's a simple piece of kit that genuinely changes what's possible on a family ride day."

Getting more trail time with young riders comes down to one thing: managing the climbs. A kid who can handle the descent with confidence will often hit a wall on sustained grade, and that's where the Kids Ride Shotgun Quick Fit MTB Tow Rope earns its place in the pack. It's a purpose-built solution for families who want to ride real trails together without cutting the day short every time the route tilts upward.

The rope's polyester construction is engineered to stretch — nearly doubling from 1.7 meters to 3.3 meters under load — and that elasticity does the mechanical work of smoothing out the pull. There's no sudden jolt at engagement, just a progressive increase in tension that keeps the towed rider stable and the towing rider balanced through the pedal stroke. The stem loop and carabiner attachment system covers virtually every stem configuration on the market, fitting in seconds without tools and removing just as fast when the grade flattens out. At 0.25 kg, the rope adds nothing meaningful to carry weight, and the wearable design keeps it off the bike entirely when it's not in use.
