Dirt Bike on Tonneau Cover

Whether you’re loyal to Yamaha or Suzuki, Beta or Honda, you need a reliable way to get your dirt bike from home to the gnar. Consider hauling your dirt bike on a tonneau cover for your truck. Don’t be a goon, make sure your tonneau cover is everything it needs to be for your bike.

Is your truck bed cover clapped out? Or has your dirt bike been rolling around in your truck bed like some kind of bro? When it comes to upgrading your dirt bike set up, a heavy-duty tonneau cover is definitely a strong starting point. 

After all, you’re not some kind of plastic princess. You’re ready to take on any race, any time. But your truck has to get you and your bike their first. Plus, as opposed to the Richie Rich who can pick up new gear constantly, you need a champion truck bed cover that’s ready to win a fight against wind, rain, dirt, and mud. 

Protect your tried and true riding gear under an aluminum water-resistant tonneau cover. With a tri-fold design, easily access what you need without exposing the rest of the truck bed to the elements. Or add an overlanding set-up on top for a truly turn-key approach. With Renegade, you’ll have a cover made of Military-Grade aluminum, built to withstand any challenge. 

Dirt Bike on Tonneau Cover

It’s time to get dialed in. Whether you’re ready for a motocross or supercross event, or wanting to take on a 24-hour race, a tonneau cover is the way to go. Plus, if you choose the right tonneau cover, you’ll have a few options for hauling your bike. If you want to dedicate space underneath the tonneau cover for your gear, you can secure your bike on top of the cover. Otherwise, you can fold your Renegade Cover up and have plenty of room to spare to secure your bike standing up in the bed.

Before you get too excited about putting your bike on top of your cover, be sure to consider how much your dirt bike weighs and if your tonneau cover is strong enough to bear it; many aren’t. For example, when it comes to trail dirt bikes, the Honda Trail 125 ABS weighs 259lbs, Yamaha TT-R230 weighs 251lbs, and Kawasaki KLX300R weighs 282lbs. But that gets dangerously close to the Paragon’s weight limit. Dual sport bikes tend toward 300lbs and enduro bikes, like the Husqvarna TE 300i, come in around 235lbs. An adventure bike takes things to another level; the Suzuki V-STROM 1050XT Adventure comes in at 545lbs. 

Lucky for you, the Renegade Cover holds up to 2,000lbs, so load up a few bikes on top and you’ll still drive easy. Plus, be sure to consider the length of your bike and the size of your folding tonneau cover when it’s folded up. Many of Renegade’s competitors have much more bulky covers, keeping you from being able to close your tailgate.
