With so many uses, tiedowns are an essential for touring or overlanding. It is always worth keeping one on your bike at all times!
Instead of listing all of the possible uses, these are lived experiences when a strap has been useful for me (there are many other times and uses):
- Strapping tent to top box when touring.
- Emergency tow rope when stranded in the middle of the moors.
- Quick lashing of ‘too cheap to refuse’ donuts’.
- High visibility warning in an emergency (one of the reasons I like this colour rather than a generic black).
- Emergency repair work – keeping the front end of the bike off the ground.
Features:
- Sturdy Buckle Strap – The URAQT lashing strap is made from tightly woven polyester fibre, with a buckle crafted from durable, rust-proof metal. It’s wear- and corrosion-resistant, strong, and built to last, with just enough friction to keep it from slipping. Each strap can hold up to 250kg (550lb) and is reusable for long-term use.
- Strong Cam Buckle with Quick-release Button – The tension belt features a cam buckle with a strong tooth grip and a quick-release thumb button, making it fast and easy to use without wasting time on tying unreliable knots, ensuring safe operation.
- Lightweight Portable – This set includes four buckle straps and a handy drawstring bag. They’re lightweight, easy to store and carry, and the perfect length for securing small items. Keep them under your seat so you’re always ready—because you never know when you might need one.
- Strong Carrying Capacity – Each cargo belt measures 2 meters long, 20 millimeters wide, and can carry up to 250 kilograms. It’s perfect for securing most goods, whether you’re moving large furniture or other items, and ensures a firm hold in any situation to prevent scratches or damage.
