Titan Racing Tailgate 100 Cover Pad

 What this product is

A tailgate pad sits over your bakkie’s tailgate so you can:

• Hang bikes over the back
• Protect both the bike frame and vehicle paint
• Secure multiple bikes for transport

 Key Features (translated into real use)

 Size & Capacity

• 135 cm length
• Fits up to 5 bikes

 Realistically:

• 3–4 bikes comfortably
• 5 bikes = tight fit, depends on frame sizes

Material Quality

• PVC tarpaulin + Oxford 600D fabric

This is a strong combo:

• Waterproof outer layer
• Tear-resistant fabric

✔️ Good for:

• Dust, rain, and rough handling

Protection

• 20mm foam padding
•  That’s quite thick:
• Helps prevent scratches on both:
  • Your bike frames
  • Your tailgate

✔️ Solid protection level compared to cheaper pads

 Mounting & Stability

• 4 main straps (to secure pad to tailgate)
• 5 frame straps (to hold bikes individually)

 This is important:

• Keeps bikes from swinging around
• Reduces frame-on-frame contact

✔️ The more straps, the better—this is a strong setup

 Bike Security Extras

• Extra long strap
• Metal eyelets for cable lock

 Good additions:

• You can lock bikes to the pad + vehicle
• Adds peace of mind at stops

⚠️ Still not theft-proof—just a deterrent

 Storage

• 2 large velcro pockets

 Useful for:

• Tools
• Tubes
• CO₂ / pump

 Practical Touch

• Velcro window for rear camera + tailgate handle

 This is underrated:

• Keeps your reverse camera usable
• Lets you open tailgate without removing pad

 Safety

• Reflective logo

Helps visibility at night—small but important

⚖️ Weight

• ~2.5 kg

 Slightly on the heavier side:

• Usually means more durable materials

 What’s Good

• Thick padding (better protection than budget pads)
• Plenty of straps = stable transport
• Camera access = very practical
• Storage pockets = genuinely useful
• Can carry multiple bikes (great for group rides)

 What to Watch

• 5-bike claim is optimistic
• Heavier than minimalist pads
• Still requires careful loading to avoid frame contact

 For Your Use Case

Given your gravel bike setup, this works very well if:

• You ride with friends
• Transport bikes to trails
• Use a bakkie regularly

 Bottom Line

This is a durable, well-designed tailgate pad that prioritizes:

• Protection
• Stability
• Practical features

It’s above average quality, especially with:

• 20mm padding
• Multiple straps
• Camera access
