Tailgate Pad

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The foam profile makes a noticeable difference. Even with a full load, the pad keeps bikes quiet and isolated. The strap routing tool is a great touch for getting everything set up cleanly around the tailgate seam."

We turn to the Tailgate Pad when we need a truck-bed transport system that offers dependable protection without requiring hardware or hitch-based racks. Its 30mm continuous padding works in tandem with a 40mm multi-density foam layer to distribute impact forces across downtubes and reduce vibration transfer to fork crowns and stanchions. This layered structure supports up to six bikes at 50lb each, pairing flexibility with shock-absorbing performance during uneven shuttles or long gravel approaches.

Retention is handled through long, adjustable straps paired with G-hooks engineered with a curved profile that resists wear and reduces frame abrasion. The system accommodates tubes up to 4.9in in diameter, making it compatible with modern enduro rigs and e-bikes. Block spacing along the pad helps prevent side loading and maintains consistent alignment across bikes of varying sizes. The tailgate window provides access to latches and maintains backup camera visibility, reinforcing the pad’s usability on and off the trail.

For riders seeking a quick-loading, protective solution that maximizes truck capacity, the Tailgate Pad offers a durable, thoughtfully engineered platform built to support everything from solo missions to fully loaded shuttle laps.
