Your Cart is Empty
The overlap between overlanding and mountain biking has never been bigger. More riders are using their trucks as basecamp — driving deep into the backcountry, camping at the trailhead, and riding from there. Same truck, same trip, two missions.
That dual-purpose use case creates a specific problem with most bike transport solutions: they're built for one thing and get in the way of the other.
When Your Bike Carrier Fights Your Overland Setup
Full tailgate pads occupy your entire tailgate. That means your backup camera is blocked on every forest road approach, every tight two-track reversal, every time you back toward your campsite. On technical terrain where precision reversing matters, that's a real problem.
Hitch racks block your hitch. If you're running a recovery kit, a jerrycan mount, a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, or a trailer for extra gear — a bike rack ends that conversation. You're choosing bike transport or hitch utility, not both.
Both solutions also add significant visual and physical bulk to the rear of your truck. On narrow trails and tight campsites, that bulk matters.
The Bomber Strap on an Overland Mission
The Bomber Strap Single MTB Pad takes up exactly the space it needs and nothing more. It sits on the tailgate at the bike contact point. Your hitch stays clear for recovery gear, a spare tire carrier, or a trailer. Your backup camera stays functional for tight backcountry navigation. Your tailgate handle stays accessible for dropping the gate at camp.
When you're not hauling a bike — on the drive in, the drive out, or rest days at camp — the whole thing rolls up and stores in the cab. It weighs almost nothing. It takes up no meaningful space. It's just not there when you don't need it.
That's the overland mindset applied to bike transport. Gear that earns its place, disappears when it's not needed, and never gets in the way of the next mission.
Built for the Conditions You Actually Ride
Ballistic nylon shell. Military-spec construction. This pad is built for the same environments you're overlanding in — dust, UV, moisture, mud, and years of abuse. It doesn't fade, doesn't flatten, doesn't fail.
The magnetic fidlock buckles work with gloves on. The anodized aluminum hardware doesn't corrode on wet trail approaches. The fork strap keeps your bike locked through washboard roads, stream crossings, and the kind of driving that would rattle a bike loose from anything less.
If your truck is your overland rig and your bike hauler, the Bomber Strap is the piece that makes both work without compromise.
