Specs:
The space-saving Velo Gripper bike carrier lets you transport 1 bike in your truck bed. Because your bike will be mounted along the inside of your truck bed, you'll have plenty of room for those other items you need to haul. This carrier mounts easily in the C-channel of your truck bed, and ratcheting straps hold a bike of any shape or size by the seat stay and fork. Built-in D-rings act as tie-down spots so that you can secure your bike with a cable lock or tie down other cargo with a bungee cord or strap.
Hassle-Free Bike Mounting
Two ratcheting straps on adjustable rods hold one bike of any shape or size by the fork and seat stay - no need to remove your front wheel to mount your bike. The rods rotate so the holders can grab your bike from any angle. Rotating the rods also allows you to adjust the amount of space between your bike frame and the side of your truck bed. That way, you can position your bike close enough to the side of your truck bed to save space but not so close that your bike and truck bed make contact.
Simple Truck-Bed Installation
The Velo Gripper installs without drilling in the C-channel mounted on the inside wall of your truck bed. To install, place the included protective plates on top of your truck bed rail to prevent the mounting brackets from scuffing or scratching the paint. Then slide the square nuts into the C-channel and position the mounting brackets over the protective plates. Tighten down the brackets and square nuts with the eye bolts to complete installation.
Space-Saving Design
Your bike will rest on both wheels in its normal upright position on the inside of your truck bed. This mounting style leaves most of your truck bed open to carry other gear. You can position your bike at the front or the rear of your truck bed to help reduce the potential for the bike to roll. This not only reduces pressure on the Velo Gripper but also saves space in your truck bed.
D-Ring Attachments
Each bracket has an attached D-ring that enables you to use tie-down straps with or without your bike mounted. Loop a a cable lock with a maximum diameter of 3/4" (sold separately) through the D-rings or the eye bolts and through your bike frame to lock the carrier to your truck and your bike to the carrier. A 5' - 6' long cable is recommended for locking your bike and both brackets. When you're not transporting a bike, these D-rings make great tie-down spots for securing other gear in your truck.

This is a great product that was made to fit my 2011 Toyota Tacoma truck bed liner. In no time I can have my bike held securely in the bed of my truck with total confidence it will not come loose. I highly recommend it.
arthur - 01/17/2022These work perfect for me, since they fit in the C-channel you can adjust for different bikes. (I have 2)
They seem pretty heavy duty, not cheap or flimsy and the price is way lower than having to get a trailer hitch. receiver and bike rack.
Joe - 05/17/2022Very easy to figure out and install. Was impressed with the quality and ingenuity that made the
bike rack customer friendly. Whole process from ordering and installing was doable for this 63 year old woman. I have had a bike come off on other things I have tried, but this has given me the confidence that will not happen again.
I use this product on GM trucks equipped with cargo stabilizer bars for transporting our heavy e-bikes. They are easy to install and versatile. I have taken the bikes throughout the southeast to rail-trails and on the auto train. I added a strap on each bike recently so there is less play.
Holds my bike onto the C-channel of my Tacoma w/o issue. Will likely add some padding under the l-brackets to prevent rattling at highway speed.
It was easy to install, but a lot of adjustments had to be done to make myu bike feel secured.
I love my Inno Velo Gripper truck bed bike rack. It was so easy to install and remove if I need to (which I do when season is over). I have had so much interest in it when I've been at biking events. People seem to like that it doesn't have to be mounted to the vehicle and be in the way like many rear mount racks. I like that too but I also like that I don't have to take a wheel off to haul my bike and my friends bike. I highly recommend the Inno Velo Gripper bike rack. Happy Biking!
These are excellent quality and fit well into the channel of my truck bed. The only drawback is my 2012 Tacoma TRD Double Cab has the short bed (5 ft) and the rear gripper bike rack is at the very end of the channel. The bikes just fit but this is due to the truck and not the Velo Gripper.
Product is high quality, designed for the rails in the truck and was easy to install and use.
This kit is super easy to install on a Tacoma pickup truck... I have a long bed Tacoma with the bed rails so I don't need to take off my wheel... also easy to unclamp the bike for in and out usage.... "I have a full suspension specialized Stumpjumper. " And if you're wanting to take off the mounds so they don't get stolen, it's two bolts and you can put them in your vehicle when you're all on the trails.
Very good product. Well made and easy to use. Also doubles as a fishing rod holder for up to 3 rods. keeps them up and out of harm from ice chests and other equipment that would damage them.
The C-Channel Mount did work as indicated. However, the mounting plate did not fit as securely as it should when everything was tightened down. There is a possibility of the mount moving out position or being lost altogether while transporting your bike.
The product works great!
Used them several times over the past year to secure our two mountain bikes. They hold the bikes firmly and upright, freeing up lots of space for storage. When they were installed, I made small notches in the plastic trim on the pickup bed on each side of the brackets. When I need them, I simply line up the brackets with the markings and attach them to the bikes. Quick and perfect fit each time. They are a unique product and generate a lot of interest.
The bike rack that attaches to my Tacomas bedrail works great. I was able to track the shipment right to my local post office. Im happy.
The quality of this bike rack is very high. Pieces that I thought would be plastic are beautifully painted metal that are solid and heavy. This rack fits the C-channels of my Tacoma as it designed by Toyota as a factory accessory. It works perfectly! I’m thrilled with it.
We used them last weekend traveling 300 miles and they worked great! The bike didn't move in the truck. It stayed in place.
Product does NOT work with the Toyota locking bed rail system as advertised. It can be made to fit within the rails, but it is a somewhat tricky process.
As far as holding the bike steady, that aspect of the product works great, though I highly recommend an adjustable clasp system instead of the Allen key for locking the extended arms down.
I replaced a huge, heavy Yakima rack with these light weigh easy to use and secure brackets. I leave them on and love them.
Love it. Easy to install & makes such an easy way to transport bikes. Like the bikes in the back of truck instead of on a bike rack.
Great design. Really makes taking bikes in my truck simple. The best solution I've come across.
I suggest a design improvement: Quick release of the rods, with a 1/4 turn release. Using an hex wrench or unscrewing the rods is the only part of the design that could use improvement.
These are great -- easy to install and fit my '10 Tacoma nicely. Can run a cable through them to lock bike when traveling, too. Highly recommend.
Great company! Prompt delivery!
Bought it with some hesitation, but am completely satisfied.
Got a late start on shopping for my Dad’s birthday, ordered on Friday for his Monday birthday and it still showed up a day early! Thanks guys!
