ROK Straps Motorcycle Adjustable Luggage Strap 25mm - 18"- 60" (Twin Pack) Black/Blue/Green ROK001

Product Information

Your first task is to think about what you need your luggage for. If you’re heading on a long-term epic adventure and crossing multiple countries or even continents, then you’re looking at soft panniers or aluminium hard cases. Plastic cases are out. You may also want to consider a roll bag if you’re camping and/ or a top box for valuables. As ratchets may open by mistake, this product includes a spring-loaded mechanism that ensures this does not happen. When it comes to the webbing, this model is made 100% of polyester which is a strong, reliable, and durable material. This model also comes with a carry bag for easy storage.

There are a few things to look at before you decide to buy straps for motorcycle luggage. As we said earlier, these accessories aren’t made equal. Some come with less-effective materials to cut some costs, while the rest are better built but require you to pay more. The Sunferno Ratchet Heavy Duty Straps Tie Down 2500Lbs Break Strength is a professional-grade product that has a maximum breaking strength of 2500 pounds, and up to 1250-pound load capacity. This means that you will be able to use these straps for a very long time to come. This hardware usually includes a tensioning system for the strap, like a ratchet. This permits the tie-down to attach to the area that surrounds the cargo and to loop over the cargo, keeping it in place. In case the straps are too short, you will not be able to use them at all for that specific application. When you are dealing with straps that are too long, you will also have to deal with loose ends that might get in your way. Even when the straps are of perfect length, there can still remain a part of the strap that should be secured so that it does not flap in the wind. A lot of vibrations and braking will cause the motorcycle to bounce. If this occurs, there is also a possibility for the straps to get loose, and if that happens your entire trip can get compromised, and so can your motorcycle. When it comes to protecting your bike, and keeping things safe, you really should not go cheap. You can even get a kit that already contains four straps. 2. Are Tie Down Straps Universal?Progress in motorcycle technology has been incredible over the last few years, except in one place… storage space. Besides quirks in design like the Honda NC750 and its ‘frunk’ , it seems that the opportunity to carrying anything much more than a credit card without extra luggage is disappearing thanks to ABS pumps and multiple ECUs taking up the space that makes my old ZX-6R seem like an estate car in comparison to my GS. Which makes the early Fireblades Transit van-like in their unassisted carrying capacity. Bungees can also very easily scuff, scratch and damage soft panniers, plus I’ve seen a few being let go and catching people in the eye. Rok Straps do away with all that faff. It doesn’t matter how big or small your kit is, just clip the ends together and compress the strap by pulling on the loose end (just don’t forget to tie it away so it doesn’t fly in the wind).

In use, they are dead easy to use. Admittedly they involve a bit more fitting than simply pulling a cord over and hooking it on but then, often with that kind of cord, the length may not be right and you’re looking for a solid bit of the bike to fix to get the right tension or go looking for a shorter or longer cord. This helps reduce strain on the ends, allows some movement in the luggage and some flex in the whole kit while on the move, reducing strain on the ends. The verdictDue to the new and improved build quality, these tie-down straps are superior to many of their competitors. Their construction is a blend of polyester and silk webbing which makes them soft but incredibly sturdy. The lab testing revealed that the breaking strength of the RHINO USA Soft For example, retractable tie-downs excellent options. Once you have tightened the strap, the part that is loose reels itself into a housing that is permanently attached to the strap. We are not going to go into more detail about this because we have already discussed the types of tie-downs in our previous section. If you are also fed up with spending money and wasting time on buying flimsy straps with low-quality hardware that is hardly any good, you should definitely give this product a try. These straps are made of heavy-duty materials that make them strong as well as durable. However, most importantly, it will keep your cargo safe during your trip.

Usually, the wrapper attaches itself with a Velcro-like fastener that is very easy to use. You can also opt for a retractable ratchet strap that comes with housing designed to reel the strap in after it is tightened down. Since the strap will be wound up inside its housing, you will never have to deal with any loose ends. This makes it even easier to hook up the strap as well. 6.
