How to Offroad and Carry Bikes: Get There Faster

How to Offroad and Carry Bikes: Get There Faster
Sterling Petersen

There’s nothing quite like ripping through the Utah desert on your mountain bike or moto. But if you’ve ever loaded up your gear and hit the nasty, washboard (or worse) roads to the trailhead, you know the drive can sometimes feel like more of a battle than the ride itself. Bikes rattling around on tailgate pads, hitch racks scraping your truck on sketchy terrain, tools flying out the back of your truck—it’s all part of the off-road struggle.

But what if you could change that? What if getting to the trail was just as smooth and fast as the ride itself? That’s where Boundry comes in.

The Problem: Offroading with Bikes Shouldn’t Suck

Tailgate pads shake everything apart. Hitch racks dig into your truck’s clearance, scraping the underside on rough terrain. And loading tools or extra gear into the back of a short bed is a recipe for disaster—stuff flying out if you don't pinch it in there just right. You just want to get there fast, without worrying about losing gear or wrecking your truck.

We’re a crew of mountain bikers, moto enthusiasts, and desert rats who know exactly what it’s like to haul bikes on rough roads. Over the years, we’ve spent countless hours ripping through the desert, but one thing always stood in the way: the drive. If you’ve ever taken your bike or moto gear off-road, you know the struggle.

The Boundry Solution: Off-Road Racks that Actually Work

That’s when we decided to build something better. Sterling and the team—bikers, moto heads, truck geeks, and engineers—set out to create a rack that could handle off-roading like a pro. Something that would let you load your gear fast, keep everything locked in place, and make sure your truck stayed safe and clear of those nasty trail obstacles.

After two years of testing, redesigning, and pushing prototypes through the desert, we finally nailed it: the Boundry TrailBreaker. It’s a rack that lets you drive like your truck is empty, no shake, no wobble, and zero worries about your gear. Whether you're hauling bikes, moto gear, or tools, Boundry makes sure your stuff stays put and you get there faster—no compromises.

How to Off-Road with Bikes the Right Way

Off-roading with bikes isn’t just about getting to the trail. It’s about doing it the right way. If you’re tired of dealing with the headache of tailgate pads, rattling bikes, and gear that falls out at the first bump, it’s time to take your bike carrying game serious. Here’s how:

  1. Choose the Right Rack
    The first step is having the right gear to get you to the trail without slowing you down. Forget those cheap hitch racks that ruin your truck’s clearance or destroy your bike. A proper off-road rack, like the Boundry TrailBreaker, keeps everything in place—no wobbling, no shaking. When you drive through rough roads, your bike and gear should be IN the truck, not hanging off the back of it.

  2. Secure Your Gear
    It’s not just about the rack—it’s about how you load up. Make sure your bike is strapped down tight, and any loose gear is properly secured. A well-loaded truck with your gear safely packed means you’ll hit every bump without worrying about losing anything in the back.

  3. Keep Clearance in Mind
    Off-roading means you’re going to be crawling over some gnarly terrain. Having a hitch rack that scrapes or a tailgate pad that drags front tires can seriously ruin your day. Make sure your truck’s clearance stays intact by investing in a rack designed for tough roads. The Boundry TrailBreaker gives you the clearance you need to clear rough patches without scraping your truck’s undercarriage.

  4. Drive Smart
    Off-road driving requires a bit of finesse. Don’t just slam through every bump and rock like you’re invincible. Be mindful of your speed and keep your truck steady. The goal is to get there fast—but without losing your gear or wrecking your ride.

  5. Test Your Setup
    Before you head out, make sure your setup is dialed in. Take your truck and gear out for a few test runs on smaller roads to see how everything handles. If your gear stays in place, you’ve found your sweet spot. If not, it’s time to tweak things.
