Let’s get started!

It extends from the cradle and attaches to the bike’s vertical downtube, to stabilize the bike during transit. This prevents bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, which could result in damage to the bikes and / or vehicle. Its features include enough space for two bikes, 2 cages per pack, made from superior grade tubing for durability and withstanding the toughest conditions. With this, you can ensure your bike is stable while on the bike rack. It will definitely arrive in perfect condition.
