Thule Gatemate Pro Tailgate Pad – Large

Available in two sizes, and providing enough room for up to 7 bikes, the Thule Gatemate Pro provides heavy-duty padding in a tough vinyl cover to protect your bike and your truck. The unique integrated bike separation profile keeps the bikes where you put them and clever strap anchors that can be used in multiple locations to accommodate different bikes, making sure they stay put over the roughest of shuttle roads.

The flexible padding and 3 integrated straps make fitting the Gatemate Pro to your tailgate easy and the large centre handle opening is big enough that it doesn’t obscure your reversing camera. On the inside of the bed, there are two large mesh pockets to secure your gear, both with large flaps to cover them so your bits don’t end up all over the road while you’re driving.

Who’s this item for: Big families or Shuttle runs with the gang where you want your bikes easy to load and easy to unload but held securely

How many bikes does it carry: Up to 7 bikes can be kept separated and strapped in securely at once.

Tailgate handle cutout: There is a large centre cutout big enough to accommodate all reverse cameras mounted near the handle

How much does it weigh / dimensions:

• Small: 1320 x 393 x 70cm / 2.5kg
• Large: 1498 x 407 x 70cm / 3kg

Materials: Foam padding covered by ultra-durable heavy-duty vinyl protects both bike and truck tailgate

Any Special Features: The adjustable position of the bike securing straps is a great feature especially if you have bikes that you carry often. The gear pouches are a great addition too, even if it’s just to carry a rag to clean your downtube before throwing your bike back on for another run!
