Heading out on your bike is not only fun, but can be great exercise, and gives you
a chance to go on adventures with friends and family. If you have a truck,
you probably know, rack options have been limited and awkward; I searched but found
no perfect rack solutions: tailgate pads can scratch your bike and the finish on
your tailgate, hitch racks seem awkward on a truck, piling bikes in the back causes
them to grind and damage each other during your drive to the riding spot;
many racks require drilling and take time to install, and it takes time to
load and remove your bike. I'm Jerry Lathrop, creator of the Ride88 Bike
Rack, built specifically for truck beds. I've been an avid bicycle and motorcycle
rider my whole life, I'm a truck guy as well, and I wanted a rugged, stylish, quick
loading bike carrier, that allowed my bike to stand upright in the back of my
bed; I was surprised to find nothing on the market, like what I had imagined, so I
created the Ride88 Bike Rack, and I built it specifically for truck beds. The
Ride88 Bike Rack is easy to install, bikes are secured in less than a second,
using the patent-pending design, there is no frame contact, as the system firmly
contacts the tire only, and can lock and secure nearly any bike into your truck
bed; the rack is made of durable powder-coated carbon steel tubing, so you
can count on it to hold up, the design quickly adjusts to fit many wheel
diameters: mountain bike, road bike, even fat tires, up to 4 inches wide;
adjustments include an indexing slide for dialing in your wheel diameter, a
super adjustable fine-tuning knob for getting the pressure as tight as you
like it, left to right positioning via the quick-release clamps, easy install
with a sliding rail, locking security for both the rack and your bikes; the system
lowers below the bed rail, allowing the system to work with the tonneau cover
and be more out of sight when not wanted. During the initial design phase, there
were hundreds of concept sketches, the first prototype was built over two years
ago and it worked great, I have continued to refine the design ever since; many
prototypes were tested and three years of research and development have been
put in to refine and dial in the look and functions; this is a well refined,
great working design, with production quality
prototypes already in use, for over a year. I've been designing products in the
motocross and bicycle industry for over 20 years, traveling to factories around
the world, making products for great brands. This project has already been
fully designed, quoted and in the hands of the quality factory, well-known for
bicycle accessories. The only thing left to do is gain the capital to invest in
tooling and begin production. To do this right, we will need some volume, to get
the cost low enough, to make production possible. This is where you come in, this
bike rack is a really cool design, with patentable features, unlike anything on
the market, we need to raise our goal a hundred percent, in order to produce the
initial order, that's enough to pay for tooling and order the minimum quantity
with the factory. We hope that you will join us and make this great design a
reality, without your support, this project cannot move forward and will
only be enjoyed by a few of us, so come on and join in, support the Ride88
project and tell your friends about this also, this is a stylish ideal way to
travel with your two favorite rides: your bike and your truck.
I've always been an outdoor enthusiast, as a Product Designer, I've always looked
for ways to do things better. We've all had situations, where we've
seen ladders fall out of the back of a truck or kayaks, surfboards, lumber,
sliding across the tailgate or even bicycles hanging over the back of the
tailgate sliding and smashing into each other, damaging not only your own
equipment and materials, but also causing damage to your truck, I knew there had to
be a better way. Hi, I'm Jeff Sayegh, from Big Bear Lake,
California, and I'm the Owner and Designer of the MultiTaskeR Truck Bed
Rack System by Exodux. The MultiTaskeR is a complete truck bed rack system, that
still allows you to open and close your tailgate; the functionality of the
attachments allow you to carry multiple types of gear,
it fits most trucks and it's completely lockable to secure your load; it features
quick and easy to use attachments that don't damage your gear or truck, and the
entire rack is easily removable in seconds; adaptable add-on features
including unique lockable bike mounts that attached to your bike steer tube
protecting your bike at the same time not causing any damage to your truck; the
multi-mount arm, which can be adjusted to various different heights and widths,
allowing it to fit almost any gear such as kayaks, stand-up paddleboards,
surfboards, lumber, ladders, snowboards, skis, and more; Combine it with a lock bar,
to lock and secure your gear. Also available, air vented baskets, to hold
your helmets, shoes, wetsuits, towels, tools, or even groceries, which attach to the
rack, for easy on/off caring features. The MultiTaskeR is made using aircraft grade
aluminum billet and high-grade stainless steel, which gives a heavy-duty look but
it's light in weight; anodized in black with blue accessories, it has a
free-flowing design and looks great on the truck. Let's talk numbers, the U.S
truck market alone, sells over three million trucks a year, there are over a
hundred and thirty-three million trucks on the road today, and the International
truck market is exploding, if we were to capture one hundredth of one percent of
that market, that would be over a hundred thousand racks sold. We are third
generation entrepreneurs, who have over 20 years experience in the design and
manufacturing industry, and know how to get a product to
market from the design phase, with a proven track-record, we've designed
equipment for the two largest rack companies in the world.
So check out the new MultiTaskeR Truck Bed Rack System, because no matter what
your sport, job, or activity is, the MultiTaskeR has a safe secure carrying
solution for your truck.
means you're ready to get yourself a Bed Rock. Hey there, it's Scott from Yakima,
and if you've got a truck and we have the gear for you: it's called a BedRock,
and it turns your truck bed into a Swiss Army knife. It's easy to install, just
install the tower onto your Yakima round crossbars, Yakima crossbars come in five
different sizes and are sold separately; then, install your crossbar setup onto
your truck bed, making sure the towers are equal distance from each other,
tighten the bars with the included allen wrench; then, place the black adapter on
the clamping hardware, drop the clamp into the tower and tighten;
for trucks with tracks, use the longer track adapters,
then clamp down the clamping hardware and lock: boom, bed upgraded; now you can
load up those crossbars, install bike mounts, snow mounts, boat mounts, even cargo
boxes easily. If you've got more Yakima gear to add, try our SKS same key system,
it replaces all your lock cores, so you only need one key to secure everything.
With BedRock loaded, you now have double the space for other gear to go in your
truck bed. The BedRock rocks indeed, so what does it all mean? Gear goes here,
friends go here. Yakima, take more friends.
