The EVOC TAILGATE PAD is our pickup pad for safe bike transport on your pickup-truck for up to 6 bikes. It combines secure bike fixation and tailboard damage protection in one piece. Made from durable 600 weight Denier, we added a polyurethane coating to make it resistant for the weather that you'll inevitably encounter while you're out shredding. The updated Tailgate pad is equipped with molded foam separations blocks and straps to keep your toys from touching. We recommend vinyl wrapping the tailgate to prevent rub marks from dirt and grit trapped between the tailgate and the tailgate pad. It is also recommended to apply protective tape on the bike's downtime where it makes contact with the tailgate pad to prevent scratching on the frame.
