I needed a strap for the cargo bars on my 2023 Honda XR150L. I had been using bungee cords and then a basic cargo net. Each of those things worked but they were hard to manipulate everytime I needed to strap some cargo on and the cargo net eventually became loose. The first thing I noticed when unboxed was the quality weight to the material and strap as a whole, as well as the stitching. It secured on the back fairly easy, although it would be nice to have some basic instructions included, I figured out what I think to be the correct method of install. The buckles are nice and heavy duty, have great spring tension and it’s very easy to adjust on the fly. I tested it out with some groceries from the store, double wrapped in plastic bags and then the Rhinowalk strap was the only thing I used to keep it down. It tightened up better than anything I had previously used and it stayed secure the entire trip home. When it was time to offload, a quick push on the spring tension buckle and the straps loosened right up and made it super easy to unload. I was using this without any cargo bag, but this would be the perfect combination to use with one. The most important takeaway is that it does exactly what it’s supposed to and does it well - secure cargo on the rear cargo bars on my bike. If that’s what you need, then I would recommend this strap without hesitation!

Plenty strong as a strap. I used one in conjunction with the two straps that secure my tail bag onto the top rack on my motorcycle to tie down a bundle of firewood to the top rack. I keep this one in my pack, so I have it handy, should I acquire anything along the way that needs to be secured to my bike. This is a single strap, so you'll need at least two straps to properly secure most loads. The tensioners are metal and feel sturdy and solid.I understand the purpose of the bungee portion, but I'm doubtful of how the bungee will hold up over time. The upside is that even if the bungee should fail, you would still have a pretty solid strap.

i won't trust it to hold my gear on it's own for two reasons: first, it's too short on one end and too long on the other for both ends to get the central anchoring point (where you are literally intended to just TIE the ends on, instead of any clasp or locking mechanism like a d ring or carabineer) or get that loop centered on the top of your gear- so it always ends up pushing your gear off one side of the bike or the other due too uneven load baring. secondly, there is no clasp or manner proper fastening it to your vehicle- you are expected to tie a knot with a flat rope where any sailor could tell you they use round ropes when tying their sails to the mast for a reason.....flat ropes cant twist to prevent kinks or binds that defeat the knot before it ever makes it to a real test. if you use flat rope, there needs to be a clasp to fasten it in place at the end (wind flapping it about on the highway is very much capable of loosening and eventually letting slip entirely the knot you tied). if there were a strap off-shooting perpendicular at the mid point tie loop, or another strap entirely included as a tandem tiedown set akin to what is sold for trucks and trailers, it would get my vote of confidence, but nothing short of a three point harness tie down is adequate enough for my vote of confidence holding more than a single bag down. think of a seat belt in a car.......notice how at one point in history the lap belt was entirely replaced industry wide in favor of three point harness belts? this is why.

Rhinowalk makes great gear, so I was happy to receive one of these via Amazon's Vine program.Once I figured out how to use it, this became the principal tie-down for the 30L tailbag on my Interceptor 650. It did take me a while to learn how to work the system - I looked for a YouTube tutorial but couldn't find one. Instructions may have been included with packaging, but if so, I missed it. It's probably obvious to most bikers how to use this, though.I've used it heavily and so far there are virtually no signs of wear and tear, so I reckon this strap will outlive me.

Product arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. I picked this product up to be used to focus on securing bags that I place on my Harley for those trips that I need more items than will fit in the bags. This unit is a very sturdy way of strapping bags to the seat or on top of the luggage rack. It consists of nylon straps that can be tightened down to hold your bags securely in place. In the middle of the unit it has a section that has an elastic type material so that when you tie your package down and pull the unit tight is will keep the strapping tight during your trip and as the contents of you bag move around. This is a handy items to keep in your bake for those times when you bring home something that you did not anticipate bringing home. Overall a good product with lots of uses. I approve.

This was clearly designed with thought and intent by someone who understands how it will be used on a bike. Even little details like the attached elastic tie to help keep itself contained for storage are excellent little convenience factors that make this great.The strap is a very sturdy material, the loops are great for tightening around frame bars, and I like that the middle section is elastic giving you a little extra tension and flexibility on tiedown. I also greatly appreciate that rather than just a friction buckle, there is a quick release button on this strap that makes it easy to undo, but only with a deliberate press on this button which is protected from the sides. I feel confident that anything I strap down to the bike with this isn't going anywhere until I want it to.For the price, this is a better values for a bike compared to just bungees or a ratchet strap- the convenience, quality, and price are a great combo here.
