What this product is
A tailgate pad sits over your bakkie’s tailgate so you can:
- Hang bikes over the back
- Protect both the bike frame and vehicle paint
- Secure multiple bikes for transport
Key Features (translated into real use)
Size & Capacity
- 135 cm length
- Fits up to 5 bikes
Realistically:
- 3–4 bikes comfortably
- 5 bikes = tight fit, depends on frame sizes
Material Quality
- PVC tarpaulin + Oxford 600D fabric
This is a strong combo:
- Waterproof outer layer
- Tear-resistant fabric
✔️ Good for:
- Dust, rain, and rough handling
Protection
- 20mm foam padding
- That’s quite thick:
- Helps prevent scratches on both:
- Your bike frames
- Your tailgate
✔️ Solid protection level compared to cheaper pads
Mounting & Stability
- 4 main straps (to secure pad to tailgate)
- 5 frame straps (to hold bikes individually)
This is important:
- Keeps bikes from swinging around
- Reduces frame-on-frame contact
✔️ The more straps, the better—this is a strong setup
Bike Security Extras
- Extra long strap
- Metal eyelets for cable lock
Good additions:
- You can lock bikes to the pad + vehicle
- Adds peace of mind at stops
⚠️ Still not theft-proof—just a deterrent
Storage
- 2 large velcro pockets
Useful for:
- Tools
- Tubes
- CO₂ / pump
Practical Touch
- Velcro window for rear camera + tailgate handle
This is underrated:
- Keeps your reverse camera usable
- Lets you open tailgate without removing pad
Safety
- Reflective logo
Helps visibility at night—small but important
⚖️ Weight
- ~2.5 kg
Slightly on the heavier side:
- Usually means more durable materials
What’s Good
- Thick padding (better protection than budget pads)
- Plenty of straps = stable transport
- Camera access = very practical
- Storage pockets = genuinely useful
- Can carry multiple bikes (great for group rides)
What to Watch
- 5-bike claim is optimistic
- Heavier than minimalist pads
- Still requires careful loading to avoid frame contact
For Your Use Case
Given your gravel bike setup, this works very well if:
- You ride with friends
- Transport bikes to trails
- Use a bakkie regularly
Bottom Line
This is a durable, well-designed tailgate pad that prioritizes:
- Protection
- Stability
- Practical features
It’s above average quality, especially with:
- 20mm padding
- Multiple straps
- Camera access
