WITSTEP Tailgate Pad for Mountain Bikes 51-inch — Fits Up to 5 Bikes, 13mm Foam & 600D PVC Protection

WITSTEP's 51-inch tailgate pad protects your truck and carries up to five bikes securely while leaving access to the tailgate handle and camera.

Whether you're shuttle-running to trailheads or ferrying gear for a weekend ride, this upgraded tailgate pad offers a mix of protection, organization, and convenience for compact and mid-size pickup trucks. Built with a 13mm foam core, a heavy-duty 600D PVC outer shell, and an ultra-soft underside, the pad cushions bikes and prevents paint damage to your tailgate. Thoughtful details—reflective strips, tool pockets with weather covers, reinforced straps, and a rear access window—make it practical for everyday use and long rides alike.

How many bikes will fit and what else can I haul?

This pad is sized to carry up to five mountain bikes on most compact and mid-size truck tailgates when properly loaded. Its wide 51-inch coverage is also handy for transporting other long items that rest on the tailgate.

• Fits up to 5 bikes on compatible tailgates (measure before buying)
• Also useful for kayaks, lumber, ladders, and other elongated gear
• Soft interior prevents frame scratches; heavy outer shell reduces abrasion

Will it block my tailgate handle or backup camera?

WITSTEP designed the pad with a large rear access window and cover so you can reach the handle and keep the backup camera functional without removing the pad. The opening zips and covers easily, keeping items protected while maintaining visibility and tailgate operation.

• Rear open window grants quick access to handle and camera
• Zip-cover keeps the area weather-protected when closed
• Drive in reverse safely without taking the pad off

How secure and durable is the pad on rough roads?

The pad fastens with three primary straps and heavy-duty cinch straps reinforced by secondary stitching to resist strain during bumpy rides. The combination of 13mm foam and robust outer fabric absorbs shocks and prevents bike-to-bike and bike-to-tailgate contact.

• Three main straps plus reinforced cinch straps for stable attachment
• 13mm foam core cushions impacts and reduces movement
• 600D PVC outer layer resists scrapes, UV exposure, and weather

What storage and night-safety features are included?

Two zippered tool pockets with flip covers keep small items dry and secure while you travel, and reflective strips improve nighttime visibility for added safety on dark roads. The pockets are designed to minimize tool loss and prevent water from getting in.

• Two covered tool pockets with zippers for rain protection
• Reflective strips increase visibility after sunset
• Large interior space helps organize straps and small accessories

Who is this for? The WITSTEP tailgate pad is aimed at mountain bikers, shuttle drivers, weekend adventurers, and any pickup owner who needs a reliable, truck-friendly solution for carrying multiple bikes or long cargo. If you want a durable, padded transporter that protects paint and frames, offers quick access to your tailgate, and adds safety features for night travel, this pad is built for you.
