AXfix for motorbikes is an innovative transport fastening system designed to simplify and enhance the security of transporting motorcycles. Developed by Matthias Müller, racing enthusiast and engineer, AXfix utilizes the hollow axles of the motorcycle as fixed points, eliminating the need for traditional tie-down straps. This system clamps the bike against the tires, ensuring that the suspension elements remain freely movable, which provides a stable and secure transport solution. AXfix is particularly beneficial for motorcycles with fairings, as it reduces the risk of paint damage and stress on the bike’s components. Its universal design, thanks to a cone shape, makes it compatible with a wide range of motorcycle models from various manufacturers. AXfix has been rigorously tested under harsh conditions over thousands of kilometers, proving its reliability and ease of use. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to transport their motorcycle safely and efficiently, whether for everyday use or for track days.

The Association of German Engineers (VDI) establishes technological standards in Germany, reflected in the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations, which primarily govern commercial transport but are increasingly applied to private transport by the police. According to VDI guidelines, lashings should not be applied to suspended components unless the suspension travel is fully preloaded, which is impractical and harmful to suspension elements.

During transport, some suspension travel typically remains when tensioning via the frame, causing the straps to loosen over bumps and potholes, necessitating retensioning to prevent motorcycles from tipping or falling. High preload, while preventing this, can damage modern chassis systems with electronics, leading to issues like damaged adjustment units, malfunctioning electronic throttle grips, leaking forks, and stress on delicate components and damage to fairings and metal parts.
