Tension straps for motorcycles put to the test – Stay safe on the road with the right lashing straps

Why are tie-down straps so important for motorcycles?

When transporting a motorcycle —whether on a trailer, in a van, or on the back of a truck—proper load securing is paramount. A motorcycle is heavy , unwieldy, and must not move under any circumstances while driving. Only high-quality motorcycle tie-down straps ensure that the bike remains firmly secured and arrives safely at its destination.

Our motorcycle tie-down strap test shows that not every strap is equally suitable. In addition to load-bearing capacity, handling, material quality, and special features such as protective fastenings also play a role.

Motorcycle tensioning straps test – what matters

A professional motorcycle tensioning strap test takes into account several important criteria:

  • Load capacity (LC value) – the lashing straps must be designed for the weight of the motorcycle.
  • Ratchet mechanism – should be smooth but robust.
  • Length and width – sufficient dimensions for a secure hold.
Particularly important : A motorcycle should never be secured with just two straps. Four lashing points are required – two each at the front and rear.

Motorcycle tensioning straps – The best features

In our motorcycle tensioning strap test, the following features proved to be crucial:

  • Included loops : These allow secure attachment to the handlebar or fork bridge without damaging the delicate parts.
  • Rubberized hooks : Prevent scratches on the frame or eyelets.
  • High pre-tension force (STF) : Ensures that the belt does not loosen even on long journeys.
This gives motorcycle lashing straps a clear advantage over simple standard straps , which are often too hard or unwieldy.
