K.I.S.S.
The No-Clash Loader is a simple idea that is well-executed. In tight spaces leg: the bed of
your truck· especially if it's a compact truck). when loading two or more bikes, placing one
front wbeel on the device picks up the front end just high enough to keep your two bikes'
bars from getting tangled up in transit, allOWing the bar-bending, perch·breaklng, lever·
bending and grip-ruining to happen at the track. where it's supposed to. rather than on the
way.
The loader itself is made of laser-cut. heli-arc-welded, diamond-plate steel and is powdercoated black. An adjustable "handle" at the front of the deVlce is designed to allow you
to adjust where the loader sits in relation to the front of your bed and keeps the device from
sliding forward when you move your bike's front wheel onto it. The top of the loader is
recessed. so your front wheel doesn't come out, and there's even a large enougb hole
machined into the ramp portion of the device that you can bolt the devlCe to your bed.
Considering how much levers. grips, bars, etc. cost - not to mention how much of a pain
changing them can be - the $64.95 for this device, in my opinion. is money well-spent.
