5.0 out of 5 stars “EXCELLENT PRODUCT, EXCELLENT SERVICE”

I had been looking for a decent substitute for cargo nets and bungie hooks which can damage your bike when transporting luggage.
I came across ROK straps and have since bought a 25mm x 1.5m pair and after a great conversation with the UK Managing Director, John, have now purchased a new longer pair at 3m using the same fixings. I have to say the customer service from John has been excellent and I’m very happy with their Motorcycle ROK straps too! He now intends to stock this new length which is great news for us bikers who need to carry larger loads.
Many thanks
5.0 out of 5 stars “Looks a solid, useful product”

Looks like a really solid product, though so far I've only used them to strap stuff down in my van rather than on the bike. They certainly worked well there, the loops can be threaded through and looped to things like seat mounts or the van frame without the damage caused by the usual metal hooks found on ratchet straps. The buckles look pretty tough, though I've had ones like these break before now, but I'll certainly be using them on the up-coming bike trip.
UPDATE:
Used them to hold down 3 weeks luggage for 2 people on my bike trip round the Adriaitic. It was the most weight I've ever carried on a back rack in 45 years of biking and it didn't move at all, even when we fell off at some lights! The most impressive bit was when I had to use them to strap down the bike on the ferry to Albania, after the crew gave me just two pieces of thick string for the job. It was quite a rough crossing and we didn't sleep much for worrying, but the bike didn't move at all...upgraded review to 5 stars now!

Arrived today, These ROK Straps are very well made, very impressed, tried them out on a short 60 mile run, I used them to hold LOMO 40L Drybag, they worked a treat, no marks left on the bike :) this makes me happy, I was wondering before I received them why they seemed expensive for straps, now I know why, extremely well made and engineered, worth every penny, very happy, off for a 4 day trip in the near future and hoping The ROK straps and LOMO Drybag combo work for me, I can't see why not on todays test over bumpy B roads. Happy Happy :)

I bought these after reading a number of reviews about various types of motorcycle tie downs. They are excellent. A little hard to undo if you synchs them really tight, but that's true of most straps and never stopped them from being functional. I did a road trip from London to Berlin and back and have been using them for various things since (groceries, my ukulele, an aquarium) and I am extremely happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars “In some circumstances the elastic section would benefit from being half as long again.”
By Biker one on 18 December 2014

The straps themselves are more than adequate for their suggested purpose. The loops at either end of the straps are well constructed with ample stitching that promise long life. The elastic part of the straps are aprox. 7.5 inches/20 centimetres long.
I carry two Ortlieb Dry Bags over a rack. I have been using one strap & six bungees. These straps have allowed me to ditch four bungees.
Even in compression bags the sleeping bags in the Ortlieb Dry Bags do have a tendency to compress with time allowing the straps to loose a little tension. I now retention after the first hour. After that they are OK. A longer elastic section would be less affected by this compression effect.
On the whole I am happy with my purchase.

Good quality item, I've been touring many times and know how important it is to have quality kit, if it isn't it simply doesn't last, this will.

These are excellent 'fast clip' adjustable straps that tighten very effectively with a little elasticity to ensure an excellent fit. They also don't tend to scratch the paint work which is ideal for the more fussy bikers. Would highly recommend these!

I was recommended these straps by a friend for fastening the luggage onto my bike rather than the old bungees I was still using. I found them to be of excellent quality and very easy to use.

I am a great fan of these straps they really do the job well. I used them for a trip to Prague and they didn't let me down. The only criticism is they do seem pricey.

Definitely an improvement on bungees. Much easier to fix and unfix. And can be left on the bike when luggage is removed. Flexible fixing system, both halves can be linked so the strap can go right round the rear frame which avoids need for fixing points on the bike.
Expensive compared to bungees, but an improvement.
