Dakine Pickup Pad DLX Curve - Fire Mountain, Small | Tailgate Bike Pad

Effortless bike-carrying for trailheads and shuttles

The Dakine Pickup Pad DLX Curve in Fire Mountain, Small, is designed to simplify how you transport bikes on the tail of late-model Dodge and Ford trucks. Its curved profile matches the tailgate's contour and accommodates access around back-up cameras, so you can load and unload with less fuss. This pad blends practical protection with everyday usability, turning a routine commute or shuttle ride into a smoother experience.

Designed for curved tailgates and real-world use

Created to fit curved tailgates, the DLX Curve keeps your setup clean and protected while you handle gear at the tailgate. It’s built with a focus on staying put during transit and providing confident clearance for tailgate handles and rear-view cameras.

Versatility and capacity by size

• Small model: up to five bikes, 54" (137 cm) wide.
• Large model: up to seven bikes, 62" (158 cm) wide.

Whether you’re bike-touring, shuttle riding, or making a trailhead dash, the right size helps you balance capacity with fit for your vehicle and needs.

Durable, visible, and security-minded

• Materials include 100% recycled polyester with a reflective logo for visibility during dawn or dusk trips.
• Anti-theft design elements and a built-in security grommet let you lock the pad to your truck, adding a layer of deterrence while you’re away from the vehicle.

Durability meets practical security without overpromising, so you can consider it as a helpful option for long-term use in varied conditions.

Package and function details

• Individual bike anchor straps: seven on the Large model, five on the Small.
• Four web cinch straps for securing cargo and stabilizing the pad itself.
• Large access flap accommodates tailgate handles and rear-view cameras while protecting the tailgate surface.
• Padded tailgate protection minimizes scuffs during loading and unloading.

Ease of installation and removal

Stiffened ends of the webbing straps simplify installation under the tailgate, and cam-action buckles enable quick removal when it’s time to roll.

Real-world scenarios include daily trailhead commutes, gravity shuttle runs, and weekend excursions where bike transport is frequent. The DLX Curve aims to offer a practical, thoughtful option that respects your gear and vehicle while helping you stay organized on busy days.
