Rhinowalk Motorcycle Elastic Retractable Strap Motorcycle Accessories Compatible with a variety of motorcycle tail bags

Rhinowalk makes great gear, so I was happy to receive one of these via Amazon's Vine program.Once I figured out how to use it, this became the principal tie-down for the 30L tailbag on my Interceptor 650. It did take me a while to learn how to work the system - I looked for a YouTube tutorial but couldn't find one. Instructions may have been included with packaging, but if so, I missed it. It's probably obvious to most bikers how to use this, though.I've used it heavily and so far there are virtually no signs of wear and tear, so I reckon this strap will outlive me.

Plenty strong as a strap. I used one in conjunction with the two straps that secure my tail bag onto the top rack on my motorcycle to tie down a bundle of firewood to the top rack. I keep this one in my pack, so I have it handy, should I acquire anything along the way that needs to be secured to my bike. This is a single strap, so you'll need at least two straps to properly secure most loads. The tensioners are metal and feel sturdy and solid.I understand the purpose of the bungee portion, but I'm doubtful of how the bungee will hold up over time. The upside is that even if the bungee should fail, you would still have a pretty solid strap.

I needed a strap for the cargo bars on my 2023 Honda XR150L. I had been using bungee cords and then a basic cargo net. Each of those things worked but they were hard to manipulate everytime I needed to strap some cargo on and the cargo net eventually became loose. The first thing I noticed when unboxed was the quality weight to the material and strap as a whole, as well as the stitching. It secured on the back fairly easy, although it would be nice to have some basic instructions included, I figured out what I think to be the correct method of install. The buckles are nice and heavy duty, have great spring tension and it’s very easy to adjust on the fly. I tested it out with some groceries from the store, double wrapped in plastic bags and then the Rhinowalk strap was the only thing I used to keep it down. It tightened up better than anything I had previously used and it stayed secure the entire trip home. When it was time to offload, a quick push on the spring tension buckle and the straps loosened right up and made it super easy to unload. I was using this without any cargo bag, but this would be the perfect combination to use with one. The most important takeaway is that it does exactly what it’s supposed to and does it well - secure cargo on the rear cargo bars on my bike. If that’s what you need, then I would recommend this strap without hesitation!

i won't trust it to hold my gear on it's own for two reasons: first, it's too short on one end and too long on the other for both ends to get the central anchoring point (where you are literally intended to just TIE the ends on, instead of any clasp or locking mechanism like a d ring or carabineer) or get that loop centered on the top of your gear- so it always ends up pushing your gear off one side of the bike or the other due too uneven load baring. secondly, there is no clasp or manner proper fastening it to your vehicle- you are expected to tie a knot with a flat rope where any sailor could tell you they use round ropes when tying their sails to the mast for a reason.....flat ropes cant twist to prevent kinks or binds that defeat the knot before it ever makes it to a real test. if you use flat rope, there needs to be a clasp to fasten it in place at the end (wind flapping it about on the highway is very much capable of loosening and eventually letting slip entirely the knot you tied). if there were a strap off-shooting perpendicular at the mid point tie loop, or another strap entirely included as a tandem tiedown set akin to what is sold for trucks and trailers, it would get my vote of confidence, but nothing short of a three point harness tie down is adequate enough for my vote of confidence holding more than a single bag down. think of a seat belt in a car.......notice how at one point in history the lap belt was entirely replaced industry wide in favor of three point harness belts? this is why.

I only get Vine items that I plan to use personally and I do a fair review based on my assessment and use of the product. I leave 1 star up to 5 stars if I really like the product and didn't find any issues with it.This Rhinowalk Motorcycle Strap seems to be very high quality and is very strong. I like that both ends are adjustable and the fact that they are easy to adjust. The handle in the middle is a nice touch as well so you can attach it to bags, etc., and use it to carry things. Overall, a really nice strap for tying down bags or other things on the back of your motorcycle.I hope this Rhinowalk Motorcycle Strap lasts me a long time, but I will update my review should I have any trouble with it in the future.Thank you for reading and I hope you find this review and the pictures helpful in making a purchasing decision.

Took this strap on a short-ish camping trip (~600 riding miles), and it performed as hoped. Changing the length is easy, the quality is obviously good, and all the connecting parts and buckles are secure. No bags wiggled, even at highway+ speeds. An excellent addition to the road gear.
