Powertye Bungee Cord

Powertye Bungee Cords: American-Made Elastic Cargo Control

When it comes to securing cargo on motorcycles, ATVs, trucks, trailers, and more, few names carry the credibility of Powertye. Founded in 1991 and manufactured right in Anaheim, California, Powertye has spent over three decades engineering cargo-securing solutions that riders and haulers trust on the road and trail. Their bungee cords reflect that same commitment to quality — built with thoughtful design details that set them apart from generic alternatives.

Flat Latex Bungee Construction That Lasts

Powertye's signature bungee cord products are built around a premium flat latex rubber core, not the round, hollow rubber found in bargain-bin alternatives. This flat latex design is central to what makes Powertye bungees stand out: the material retains its elasticity even after extended use, resisting the early cracking and loss of tension that plagues lesser cords. Surrounding the latex core is a thick braided polypropylene cover with a tight weave that resists snagging and protects the elastic material from UV exposure, abrasion, and general wear.

Adjustable Length — One Cord, Multiple Uses

Powertye's Changeable-Length Flat Bungee Cords are a standout in their lineup. A simple and secure adjustment buckle lets a single cord span a wide range of lengths — from around 12 inches all the way to 45 inches non-stretched, with a maximum stretched length of approximately 70 inches. This adaptability eliminates the need to carry multiple fixed-length cords and makes these bungees versatile across applications: from lashing gear to a motorcycle tail section to strapping down a tarp on a truck bed. Metal hooks are encased in a hard plastic coating to hold firmly while preventing marring or scratching of the surfaces they contact.

Bungee Cargo Nets: Tighter Mesh, Better Cargo Retention

Beyond individual cords, Powertye extends their bungee expertise into adjustable cargo nets — a natural complement to their strap lineup. These nets are constructed using premium latex bungee material that stretches farther than traditional rubber mesh. A key design distinction is the tight 2-inch x 2-inch mesh pattern, which is noticeably finer than the 3-inch x 3-inch standard found in most competing nets. This tighter grid significantly reduces "fall-through" of smaller items, keeping gear secure even over rough terrain. Each net features adjustable ABS plastic hooks that can be repositioned around the perimeter of the net, with a sub-hook on the back of each for an extra point of adjustment and a more tailored fit on irregularly shaped loads.

The Powertye Warranty Advantage

What truly separates Powertye's bungee products from the crowded field of cargo-securing accessories is the confidence behind them. Powertye backs their products with a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser, covering defects in materials or workmanship. For a product category where quality directly impacts the safety of your gear — and of those around you — that kind of backing is significant.

Whether you need a compact adjustable cord for everyday hauling or a full cargo net sized for a truck bed or UTV rack, Powertye's bungee cord lineup delivers the durability, adjustability, and American craftsmanship that serious haulers demand.
