Knockrz Announces Knockrz, Inflatable Cushioning For Bike Transport
From a Knockrz press release:
Introducing “Knockrz”…an inflatable system designed to minimize, or possibly avoid, damage to the motorcycle(s) being transported. This new system was awarded a utility patent by the USPO!
Knockrz are designed to provide additional protection to motorcycles that could be damaged from a failure in the device(s) used to secure it while being transported. One size fits almost all types of trailer styles and widths in combination with almost all motorcycle types.
The typical transporting method of a motorcycle is to chock the front tire then tightly strap the handlebar from each side to the floor. It works well until something loosens up or breaks free causing the motorcycle to move too much or fall over. Knockrz restrict the side-to-side movement by filling the open void between a motorcycle and another motorcycle, and/or whatever the motorcycle(s) is being transported in. They are capable of supporting up to 500lbs deadweight, so they are durable enough to support most motorcycles. They are inflated with a blower that connects to your motorcycle charger harness for ease of installation.
“Knockrz are a reasonable investment considering the cost, downtime and disappointment if damage were to happen to your ‘prized possession’ while it was being transported. Get some peace of mind with a set today!” – Bill Watson, President, Knockrz, LLC
The idea for this innovative concept took shape after witnessing the damage to expensive motorcycles that had come loose inside a trailer. After nearly 3 years’ worth of work into developing Knockrz, they are now available for online distribution at www.Knockrz.com.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
