Salsa EXP Series Cargo Straps – Secure Your Ride
Engineered for rugged reliability, these heavy-duty rubber straps transform any Salsa bike cage or rack into a trustworthy cargo system. Ideal for gravel adventures (15-25kg capacity), urban commutes with grocery hauls, or multi-day touring setups – they grip securely across all terrains while resisting sun damage and temperature extremes (-20°C to 50°C).
Key Advantages
✅ Dual-layer construction resists tearing from sharp tools or camping gear
✅ Quick-release buckle system allows one-handed adjustments mid-ride
✅ Integrated storage loop keeps excess strap neatly tucked away
✅ Sold in matched pairs for symmetrical weight distribution on racks
Smart Usage Scenarios
• Mountain bikers securing hydration packs on downtube cages
• Road cyclists transporting race wheels using fork mounts
• Adventure travelers organizing pannier contents on rear racks

The included silicone keeper band solves a common frustration – no more fumbling with loose strap ends while riding through rain or dust clouds. Priced at $39.95/pair (vs $29 single-straps), this investment pays off through:
✔️ 3x longer lifespan than standard ratchet straps
✔️ 40% faster loading/unloading compared to twist-style straps
✔️ Full compatibility with all Salsa Adventure Cycling accessories
Designed specifically for Salsa’s modular mounting systems but versatile enough to work with most aftermarket racks/cages (including Topeak MTX carriers). Perfect for cyclists who demand both security and simplicity in their cargo solutions.
