ProTaper 1-1/2" Tie Down — Black
SKU: ptr022819 | Size: 1.5" x 84" | Color: Black
Loading your bike into a trailer or truck bed shouldn't be a fight with your straps. Twisted hooks, unhooked buckles in tight spots, scratched bars — all problems that come with cheap tie downs. The ProTaper Tie Down was designed to fix all three.
The standout feature is the spring-loaded swivel carabiner base hook. It rotates freely, so the strap doesn't twist as you cinch down. It stays hooked in hard-to-reach anchor points without needing a second hand to hold it in place. That alone makes loading a solo job far less frustrating.
Key Benefit
Standard hooks scratch bars and slip off anchors. ProTaper addressed both. The soft hook loops at the handlebar end protect the bar finish from contact marks. The swivel carabiner base hook locks onto anchor points and stays put. With 1,200 lbs. of straight tension strength behind an industrial-grade non-slip cam lock, the bike isn't going anywhere once it's strapped.
The hook-and-loop securing strap bundled with each tie down keeps the excess strap neat and out of the way after you've cinched everything down — small detail, makes a real difference on a long drive.

Fitment Clarity
No vehicle-specific fitment required. These work with any dirt bike, motocross bike, enduro bike, or ATV that uses standard handlebars and tie-down anchor points. The 84" length gives you enough strap to work with most truck beds, trailers, and enclosed vans without running short. Sold as a pair.
Install Insight
Hook the carabiner base to your trailer or truck bed anchor first — the spring-loaded swivel lets it seat cleanly without fighting the angle. Loop the soft hooks over or around your handlebars (most riders go just inboard of the grips, or around the bar pad area). Feed the strap through the cam lock, pull down to your desired compression, and lock it off. Use the hook-and-loop strap to bundle the tail end so it doesn't flap. Check compression after the first few miles — cam locks on new straps can settle slightly on the first load.
Who This Is For
Any rider who loads their bike regularly and wants straps that actually work the way they should. Whether you're heading to the track every weekend, hauling to a trail system, or transporting to a race — these replace the cheap straps that twist up, unhook themselves, and leave marks on your bars.
FAQs
Are these sold as a pair or individually?
Sold as a pair. Two straps per order — one for each side of the bike.
Will the soft hooks scratch my handlebars?
No — that's exactly what they're designed to prevent. The soft hook loops are specifically built to protect handlebar finish from contact marks during transport.
How strong are these straps?
1,200 lbs. straight tension strength with an industrial non-slip cam lock. More than adequate for securing a dirt bike or ATV during road transport.
What makes the swivel carabiner different from a standard J-hook? A standard J-hook can twist the strap as you tension it and pop loose from awkward anchor angles. The spring-loaded swivel rotates to follow the strap direction, so it stays seated without twisting, and the spring keeps it locked onto the anchor point.
Are these 84 inches long enough for most truck beds?
Yes. 84 inches gives plenty of working length for standard truck beds and trailers. Most riders have leftover strap to bundle after tensioning, which is what the included hook-and-loop strap is for.
Can I use these on a full-size motorcycle, not just a dirt bike?
The straps are rated to 1,200 lbs. tension strength, so the strength isn't the issue — but the soft hooks are sized and shaped for dirt bike handlebars. For a full-size street bike, check that the hook size suits your bar setup before using.
Do the cam locks loosen over time on the road?
Quality cam locks hold tension well, but it's always worth a check after the first 20–30 miles, especially on rough roads. A quick tension check before and during longer hauls is good practice regardless of the strap brand.
