Doesn’t hold my bikes

This doesn’t hold my bikes very well at all. They sway all over the back of the truck and are still tipped over by the time we get where e are going. It doesn’t seem to be made for my F-250. Can’t use the lock as it doesn’t fit my vehicle or bikes very well.

Pros
  • Will not damage your truck’s paint
Cons
  • May not be suitable for users with time constraints

Easy to install and tie down the bikes

It is easy to install, works for the electric bikes we have. The straps were not long enough to tie down but we were able to tie extra length to them to accommodate the larger E-bike frames.

Pros
  • Car Racks & Carriers
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all truck bed accessories

Great bike pad! best in my review

We've been very pleased with this bike pad so far. Haven't used the locking system much since we've just transported our bikes a few miles to a bike path we like, but the clamps keep the bikes upright and prevent them from banging into each other.

Pros
  • Eliminates need for bulky bike racks
Cons
  • Could be difficult to use for first-time users

Does not work for E-bikes

This unit is well constructed but does not work for E-bikes. The straps to hold the frame to the tailgate are way to short. The padding is nice for the tailgate but you have to use racket straps to hold it from moving

Pros
  • Makes transportation of bikes hassle-free
Cons
  • Not suitable for users with physical disabilities

Cheap quality: my feedback

I could not lock the rack on to the truck bed because the lock was not long enough. It was damaged first trip. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Improves bike access for quick loading and unloading
Cons
  • Could be exposed to weather elements during transport

Best truck rack for bike travel

Perfect fit and stable bikes! Easy to put on and take off. Didn’t use the locking mechanism yet but is simple to use. Bikes didn’t move at all. I’m so extremely happy with this product. Protected bikes and truck. We were so happy to be able to finally bring our bikes to the campground while pulling our travel trailer!

Pros
  • This is so easy to install and transport my bikes. Also protects paint job on my truck! Best Buy yet!
Cons
  • Limited to small-midsize pickup models

You can't go wrong

Really good product. It secures my bikes better than expected for the price. The padding material is great quality and seems that it will last for a long time. I had to adjust the bike straps so it rest on the top of my tailgate so the bikes is snuggled in the grooves. The extra storage pockets are a huge plus. So far so good. I would definitely recommend this tailgate pad.

Pros
  • Allows for easy loading of bikes weighing up to 35 pounds each
Cons
  • Could be difficult to secure during high winds or storms

Perfect way to carry bikes when pulling a trailer

This tailgate pad was the perfect solution to carrying our bikes when towing our travel trailer. It's easy to install, does exactly what we need it to do, and has an integrated lock to discourage thieves. We love it!

Pros
  • Outdoor Recreation
Cons
  • May require modification to truck bed or tailgate

Doesn't accommodate some ebike styles

The quality of this pad is excellent and it would be a five star if it fit my bike. Mine has a top tube and the aerodynamic styling of down tube restricts ability to use tie-down straps . on the other side the suspension forks prohibit the wheel lying flush. For smaller bikes or rode bikes it's probably great.

Pros
  • ‎10.18 pounds
Cons
  • May not match truck color or style

Works great and was easy to install

It installed easily and the locking cable had enough length I could also run it through the D-ring on the bed to lock the pad as well. I added a strap to the rear of the bikes and they were very solid. I would recommend this to anyone with a short bed pickup.

Pros
  • Compatible with most bike sizes and frame types
Cons
  • Could affect driving stability

Great product: my feedback

This is an outstanding way to carry your bike! The locking system is nice but a thief would cut the nylon straps, I think. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • ‎Sklon7
Cons
  • Could be too heavy for some users to lift

Worth the money. for my opinion

Def recommend. Good product so far. Bikes fit well. Protects the truck. Easy to install and remove. Lots of pockets and straps.

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Strap system could be difficult to adjust

Excellent Quality and Tailgate Protection

Great Tailgate bike rack w/ secure locking cable, soft material that touches tailgate will ensure no damage to paint if tailgate is clean before installation. 6 bikes fit well. But sadly, I will be returning this because it will not fit my EBike that has a larger tube due to the battery. The quality of this tailgate pad is worthy for small tube bikes.

Pros
  • Soft material protects bikes from scratches
Cons
  • Mountain bikes could get dirty or muddy during transport

Stained paint on tailgate

After one use stained the paint on my new white tacoma. Standard polishes would not remove so I guess I am going to a detailer or body shop. Should have read the reviews as another customer had the same complaint. I wonder if it is because of the white paint?

Pros
  • Liked it
Cons
  • Potential for the bikes to shift during transport

Works as it should in my review

Lock feature is nice. Comes with two keys along with combination lock. Easy 3-strap installation. Fits up to 6 bikes. This thing is the real deal!

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and avid cyclists
Cons
  • May cause wind resistance while driving

Does not work for fat tire ebikes

This is a well made product and wish it would have worked. The straps to hold down bikes are not long enough to go around the base of our fat tire ebikes though. If they added about 6 inches to the straps it would have been perfect.

Pros
  • Prevents damage to the pickup truck bed while transporting bikes
Cons
  • Bikes could become wet or rusty during transport

Easy to deploy and to store

This is great for pick-up trucks, especially if you're towing. What would have made this four stars? A longer cable lock so that I could deploy one cable and secure the device to the tie-downs on the truck. Just slightly too short, so I needed a second cable and padlock to do that, otherwise it works as advertised.

Pros
  • Provides peace of mind when transporting bikes
Cons
  • Not suitable for users with car seats or passengers in truck bed

Durable construction and easy to install

Just received my Sklon Tailgate pad. Quality of the straps look great. The cam buckles are metal so they should last a long time. The inside of the pad is a micro fleece that does not damage your truck paint. Fits great on the tailgate of my 2018 Silverado.

Pros
  • Allows for safe and secure transportation of expensive bikes
Cons
  • Could cause damage or wear to bike parts

Integrated lock works great!

We have used this bike pad multiple times and it has performed as advertised. We love that it has a built in lock for when we keep the bikes on the truck overnight while camping or doing other activities.

Pros
  • Great way to haul multiple bikes.
Cons
  • We returned this product due to the fact that when we opened the product, the lock mechanism fell apart.

Well-designed and built tailgate pad

The Sklon tailgate pad is sturdy and well-built. It has a soft pad on the inside to maintain protection on tailgate paint. It has proper connector for bike tube to keep my bikes secure during transportation. The security lock feature was one of the main reason why I chose to purchase this tailgate pad compared to the other options.

Pros
  • Easy to use. Very effective
Cons
  • Not suitable for long-distance travel
