ACEBIKES Ratchet Strap Deluxe Duo

A ratchet tensioner is a great tool to secure a motorcycle. You decide what to attach it to, but when travelling by train or boat, or transporting it on a trailer, it's best not to take any risks.

The Acebikes Ratchet Strap Deluxe is everything you need, and it comes in a handy storage bag. Two sturdy polyester straps, with as many galvanised ratchet tensioners. The loops at the end are covered with protective covers made from sheep's wool to protect chromed or painted parts. Heavy-duty plastic hooks have a closure to ensure that everything remains safe and sound when attaching them.

In this case, heavy-duty means it can take a force of up to 900 decanewton. The straps are each just under two metres long and 35 mm wide. Stowed away in the supplied bag (26 x 8 x 20 cm) they form a package of 2,4 kg.

Could you do with a bit less? Acebikes also has a buckle strap attachment system.
