Stabilizer Straps and Anchors Kit
The stabilizer anchors attach to each end of the upper crossbar and connect to your vehicle's roof rails or hitch receiver via the included straps. This creates a triangulated connection between the rack and vehicle that significantly reduces side-to-side movement under heavy loads (like bumpy roads or wind currents generated by semi-trucks at highway speeds).
Required when carrying over 250 lbs total bike weight. Recommended any time you're loading 5+ bikes or carrying heavy e-bikes. The straps are adjustable and quick to connect — add about 2 minutes to your loading routine.
The anchors are installed and removed tool-free for easy storage when not in use.
Compatible with RSD 4, RSD 5, RSD 6, and RSD 8. Not compatible with RSD 2 (the 2-bike rack doesn't generate enough lateral load to need them).
