CURT bike racks offer both versatility and quality and are available in several different styles to fit your needs. The CURT bike rack support strap is a 1" x 61" strap designed to help stabilize a hitch-mounted bike rack. One end attaches to the bike rack and the other to the tow vehicle. The strap can then be tightened to the appropriate tension to ensure that the load is properly supported for travel. Though the bike rack support strap is required for any bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank, it is recommended for all CURT bike racks. ## Features - Provides added stability and support for a hitch-mounted bike rack - Vinyl-coated hook prevents scratches on painted surfaces (WARNING: Remove hook before opening or closing hatch or trunk) - Features a generous 61-inch length - Recommended for all hitch-mounted bike racks (failure to use a support strap with a 1-1/4-inch bike rack will void the warranty of the trailer hitch and bike rack) - Required for all 1-1/4-inch hitch-mounted bike racks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003721CC8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #131,357 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #111 in Vehicle Sports Rack Parts & Accessories | | Brand | CURT | | Brand Name | CURT | | Color | black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Trailer | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 885 Reviews | | Fastener Material | Vinyl | | Fastener Type | Hook | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314003549 | | Hardware Material | Vinyl | | Included Components | Bike Rack Strap | | Item Type Name | 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap | | Manufacturer | Curt Manufacturing | | Manufacturer Part Number | 18050 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | | Model Number | 18050 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Size | 61 inches (width: not specified) | | UPC | 612314003549 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Trailer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CURT - **Color:** black - **Fastener Type:** Hook - **Size:** 61 inches (width: not specified) - **Vehicle Service Type:** Trailer ## Images ![CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OM49hfwZL.jpg) ![CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bn3pKVZ2L.jpg) ![CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RzpWqIqNL.jpg) ![CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fut+ZTvGL.jpg) ![CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718fUZNv07L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: So I've read that it's 62" or 72" long, but how wide is the strap?** A: It's about 1 - 1.5 inches wide **Q: Are the hook and the buckle made of metal or plastic?** A: The hardware is metal with a chrome finish. The hook is covered with a soft plastic. I found that the plastic cracked after a couple of years, but it was easily replaceable with some electrical tape to protect the paint where it hooks on the edge of the trunk of your car. **Q: swagman Chinook -- where should I attach the straps to the chinook rack? Will the straps put undue pressure on the arms or the upright post?** A: Probably better to ask Swagman but the purpose of the strap is to relieve loads on the hitch. That means it's also relieving loads on the bike rack. I'm sure it is possible to put so much load on the top of the post that you bend it, but with normal tension, a beam supported at both ends has much lower stress than one cantilevered at one end. So if anything it should result in less stress on your bike rack, especially if they're bouncing around back there. **Q: can this be used to replace an original strap where the metal hook is that is rusted?** A: I would guess yes. It’s a two piece strap, so one end has a hook and the other has none to thread through the other strap. I hope that helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap, black - Bike Rack Straps, 4-Pack Trilancer Adjustable Bike Wheel Stabilizer Strap with Hook and Loop for Car and Wall Mount, for Transportation and Storage (26'' x 1.5'') - Allen Sports Crossbar for Transport on Step-Through Style Bikes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/3658526-curt-18050-61-inch-bike-rack-support-strap](https://www.desertcart.in/products/3658526-curt-18050-61-inch-bike-rack-support-strap) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
