Make longer family mountain-bike rides easier, smoother and more fun.
The Kids Ride Shotgun MTB Tow Rope helps younger riders tackle climbs and bigger family adventures when little legs need a hand. Its shock-absorbing construction provides a gentle pull, helping avoid sudden jerks when you set off or the trail steepens.
Gentle, Strong and Compact
The rope uses a multi-strand embedded elastic core for a smooth, controlled towing feel. It is load rated to 225 kg, making it suitable for young riders and adults alike, yet weighs just 0.25 kg when packed away.
Easy to Fit
An included stem loop lets you attach the rope by looping it over or around the towing bike’s stem. It is simple to carry in a pocket or pack until it is needed.
Use It Sensibly
The MTB Tow Rope works best when the rider being towed is already a confident, independent pedal-bike rider. If using it with an e-bike, the rider being towed should continue pedalling to reduce load on the motor. When towing from a dropper post, remain seated to minimise wear on the post.
Read the supplied safety information before use, check both attachment points before every ride and use only at a controlled speed on suitable terrain.
