Product Information
Full details
The Oxford TUV/GS Bungee is an ideal solution for motorcyclists, campers, and travelers who need a reliable, secure way to fasten gear to their vehicles. Its primary benefit is the combination of extreme tensile strength and paint-safe hook technology, providing peace of mind during transit. While it is highly durable, users must ensure they select the correct length for their specific load to maintain proper tension, as the 900mm length is fixed and not adjustable for oversized or extremely small items.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the 900mm length measured while stretched?
No, 900mm is the relaxed, unstretched length of the bungee cord.
Can I use this to secure a helmet?
Yes, but ensure you hook it to a secure point on the helmet's D-rings or chin bar rather than just tensioning over the shell to prevent it from sliding.
Does it lose elasticity over time?
Like all elastic cords, it will eventually lose tension after prolonged use or exposure to extreme heat, but its TUV/GS testing ensures a longer lifespan than generic alternatives.
Is this safe for carbon fiber frames?
The rubber coating is designed to be gentle, but always ensure the hook is not applied to high-pressure points on delicate materials.
Are these bungee cords sold in pairs?
Please check your specific packaging, as they are often sold as individual units or specific multi-pack configurations.
Troubleshooting
Bungee feels loose after installation
Re-evaluate the anchor points. Ensure you have chosen a route that creates maximum tension across the load. If the load is too small, consider crossing the bungee or using a shorter strap.
Rubber coating on hook is wearing away
Avoid scraping the hooks against sharp metal edges during attachment. Once the rubber is compromised, use electrical tape as a temporary protective layer or replace the unit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rubber-coated hooks protect paintwork
- Certified for safety and strength

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, attach one hook to a firm anchor point, stretch the bungee across your item, and fasten the second hook to an opposing anchor point. Ensure the hook is fully seated to prevent accidental detachment. Regarding compatibility, this 900mm bungee works well with most standard motorcycle tie-down points, luggage racks, and cargo nets. For care, keep the bungee clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after travel to remove road salt or debris. Store the item in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the elasticity of the internal rubber strands.
