Rundown: BAK Revolver X2

The BAK Revolver X2 is a part of a unique class of tonneau cover that fits perfectly into two worlds. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of models available, and the Revolver is one of two that have made it on to Tonno Cover Depot. That class of tonneau cover is the Hard Roll-Up. Despite being few and far between, Hard Roll-Up Tonneau covers are potentially the most versatile of all tonneau covers. In this blog I'll walk through the benefits of the X2 to give you a better idea of what they're all about.


The greatest asset of the X2 is its compact size. Just like a Soft Roll-Up Tonneau, the Hard Roll-Up Covers roll into themselves to secure right behind your cab. The roll is a little thicker than the soft covers because of the hard construction, but they still allow you great visibility out your rear window when they're closed, if you need to drive that way. The X2 is constructed from aluminum, which means you don't need to worry about puncture damage like you do with soft top covers. It also means your truck bed is more secure against break ins and can support  up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight on top.


The roll can be performed easily by one person, with one hand even, so accessing your truck bed is a breeze. The X2 also installs quickly and easily, so you can be ready to go right away. Because of its roll up engineering, most extra large cargo can still be hauled in your truck bed without an issue, but if you do need to take it off to make something fit, it's simple. With no drill, no modification installation, you can put it on a leased vehicle or work truck, and you can switch from one truck to another relatively easily.


The BAK X2 have a unique locking block and rail system to help secure your truck bed. As you unroll the cover locking blocks along the cover engage the rotational locking rails. This means that as you roll the cover down, each segment locks, providing an exceptional seal against moisture and dirt. It also means that when you're driving, the cover will be sucked tight to prevent damage to the top and keeps it from coming loose.

Once the cover is secured, it can be released from either side with a quick release pullstring when the tailgate is open. With the tailgate closed, you won't be able to open the cover, securing it against thieves, especially when the tailgate is locked. When closed, the cover sits nearly flush to the top of your bed rails, giving it a sharp low profile look that is stylish and can improve your fuel economy.


If you're looking for a cover that's quick, easy to use and compact, yet still very durable, the BAK Revolver X2 is a great choice for you. It's great for those hauling fifth wheel trailers, or often find themselves hauling a wide variety of cargo. For more information, or to order please contact us at:
