In some online video I noticed straps being used to secure front wheel of the bike (so as to prevent from swinging). Are those straps included?

Hi,The Ridgeback will come with a nylon strap that you can definitely use to secure the wheels of the bike so that the handlebars will not be swinging or spinning.Thanks,Rack Attack

Yes, the front wheel straps are included with most hitch mounted bike carriers. The strap for the ridgeback is in the box. Here is a link to the product instructions. http://www.rackattack.com/product-pages/product-pdf/yakima-ridgeback-4-bike-instructions.pdf

Yes, there are 2 straps included, one longer (~4 feet) and a shorter one (~ 2 feet). Overall, its a excellent bike rack.

It has attached straps so you can secure it to the rack. It is very secure!

2 Velcro straps over the handle bars and another strap with a hook around the frame that holds the handlebars onto the bike.

When I received my pedals they only had the clips, no straps. Hope this helps.

I'm assuming you're referring to bungee straps to keep the wheels from flopping around. In that case, no. I had to buy separately. When I first put this on and strapped my bikes in, the front wheel would flop around and bang against the back of my car. If you're simply referring to straps that keep this hooked on to the car. Yes. Left and right side for TOP, MIDDLE and BOTTOM (6 hooks/straps total) and it fits very comfortably on my 2005 Toyota Camry.

They are secure on my bike because they are installed under the seat and are connected together when they arrive. There are two leather strips to tie them together front and back. I just used the front one to keep them from flying up at high speed. My seat slides in secure in the back and I leave the front unbolted so I can remove the seat and saddlebag in bad weather. No mods to my Yamaha 2005 750 Virago. I hope this helps.

No, there are not. I used aftermarket chrome cable clamps to secure my cables. However, these are AWESOME bars. You will be amazed at the difference in the handling of your bike.

Velcro straps. Works well in conjunction with the Tusk soft top. I have this on 3 RZR's and have not been disappointed.MP

No. Straps are not included. Just the a hooks which are permanently attached.

These straps are one inch wide and each one is 12 inches long. I have used them several times to secure three different bikes, the largest a Suzuki C50, and they have done well. You will need to tie (loop) two together to get far enough from the bars and tank to avoid damage from heavier straps with hooks and rachets. Overall, I am well pleased with the performance and cost of these straps.

The straps are included. I have a '13 honda pilot and use mine on the roof rack with no extra clips. Be sure to strap it as shown in the directions - mine has worked fantastic and has quite a bit of room.

Emil, it does come with a stabilizing strap. I also recommend the Velcro straps to stabilize your bicycle's front wheel to the frame. Keeps your handlebars from turning and bunging up your vehicle.

yes the chain guard and the knobs to adjust the seat and handlebars. Also the yellow knob that changes the pressure/difficulty on the fly wheel. The chain guard is the only think I would worry about breaking though. I have hit it with my foot a bunch of times and it hasn't broken yet!

It's attached by velcro straps. Very easy to put on & take off. You can attach it anywhere on your bike.

The strap is adjustable in the front. It includes a sliding loop to secure the loose end.

I use the straps for my roof rack to secure the top kayak. No straps for the top kayak are included, but I have a set of other straps that work fine.
