The RealTruck BAK Revolver X2 is the do-it-all hard roll-up truck bed cover - offering the security and slash-resistance of a hard cover with the smooth, one-hand convenience of a roll-up, all at a great value. Roll it up for 100% bed access, roll it closed to lock your gear down under patented interlocking aluminum slats, and drive either way. It's the cover for people who want real hard-cover protection and a clean, low-profile look without paying for the top-tier model - the same core security as BAK's flagship X4s, in a value-focused package.
It's ideal for truck owners who want to keep cargo dry, hidden, and safe without the bulk of a folding cover or the canister of a retractable: daily drivers, weekend haulers, and anyone protecting tools and gear on a budget. The appeal is a rare mix at this price - Level-3 slash-resistant security, a 400 lb load rating, the lowest profile of any hard roll-up, no-Velcro flush operation, and a 3-year warranty - in a cover you install yourself in under an hour. If you love the sleek look of a soft roll-up but want hard-cover strength, the X2 is the value pick.
Key Features
- Most secure in its class (Level-3 security) – Patented rotational locking rails and automatic slam latches resist prying, slicing, and forced entry — beyond what hook-and-loop covers can offer
- Slash-resistant aluminum slats, 400 lb capacity – Patented interlocking aluminum slats deliver cutting-edge slash protection and support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight on top
- Full bed access + full visibility – Roll up with PrecisionRoll technology and secure with integrated safety straps for 100% bed access, without blocking your rear window or factory cameras
- No-Velcro flush design, no-drill install – Aluminum-reinforced DualShield vinyl with flush side seals gives a clean flush fit with no snaps or Velcro, and the clamp-on system installs in under an hour without drilling
Hard-Cover Security, Roll-Up Convenience — at a Great Value
The X2 delivers the same core security as BAK's flagship roll-up. Patented rotational locking rails and automatic slam latches lock the cover down and resist prying and forced entry, while the patented interlocking aluminum slats are slash-resistant — a knife won't get through them the way it would a soft cover's fabric. BAK rates this its highest Level-3 security. And unlike a retractable cover, there's no canister eating into the front of your bed, so you keep maximum cargo space. Roll it up with PrecisionRoll technology, secure it with the integrated safety straps, and you have 100% bed access with the rear window and cameras unobstructed. You can roll it up or down one-handed by pulling the release cable on either side, and lock it with your tailgate lock.
Where the X2 sits in the lineup is in its surface material. It's built from RealTruck's exclusive one-piece, aluminum-reinforced DualShield 60-grade vinyl — a soft-to-the-touch, leather-grain surface reminiscent of a soft tonneau, but with the aluminum-slat reinforcement underneath for real durability. (BAK's step-up X4s uses upgraded TriShield 70-grade vinyl and a matte finish; the X2's DualShield is the value-tier surface, still tough and good-looking.) Because it's one piece with no visible seams and flush-fitting side seals, moisture resistance is excellent — weather-resistant bulkhead and side rail seals keep water out and your cargo dry.
The look is clean and understated. As the lowest-profile hard roll-up available, the X2 sits nearly flush with your bed rails for an integrated, built-in appearance in a black leather-grain finish. It's also compatible with most 5th-wheel hitches, making it practical for owners who tow gooseneck or 5th-wheel trailers. Fitment is vehicle-specific by truck, model year, and bed length, so ordering the correct part number is essential.
Installation
- Difficulty: Level 1 — Simple Installation.
- Time estimate: Under 1 hour on most applications.
- Tools required: Basic hand tools (1/2" and 9/16" wrenches); the included clamp-on mounting kit and hardware handle the rest.
- Drilling/modifications: None. The intuitive clamp-on system requires no drilling.
- Included for setup: Clamp-on mounting rails, clamps, hardware, and installation instructions.
- Important first-week step: Check all clamps and retention mechanisms for tightness after about a week of driving, and periodically thereafter — good practice and a warranty condition.
Always follow the included instructions for your specific application.
What's Included
- (1) BAK Revolver X2 hard roll-up tonneau cover (aluminum slats with DualShield 60-grade leather-grain vinyl, black)
- Clamp-on mounting rails, clamps, and hardware kit
- Integrated safety straps and bulkhead/side seals
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean with mild automotive soap and water only.
- Protect the vinyl: A UV protectant such as 303 Aerospace Protectant helps preserve the leather-grain vinyl surface and its finish over time.
- Secure when driving: The cover must be secured at all points when the vehicle is in motion — closed and latched, or rolled and secured with the safety straps.
- Clear before rolling: Remove snow, ice, and debris from the cover before rolling it up.
- Check the clamps: Confirm all clamps and retention mechanisms are tight after a week of driving following installation, and periodically after that.
- Seal care: Keep the side and bulkhead seals clean and free of grit so they seal properly.
Warranty
The Revolver X2 is backed by a 3-Year Limited Warranty from BAK Industries.
- Covered: The cover is warranted to be structurally free from defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years from the original date of purchase.
- Not covered / voids warranty: Damage from accidents, unreasonable use, neglect, improper installation/service/removal, modifications, acts of God, and normal wear and tear. Failure to follow the care and use instructions above will also void the warranty.
- Original purchaser only: Coverage applies to the initial purchaser and is not transferable. Keep your proof of purchase — registration documentation and/or original purchase verification may be required to make a claim.
- Claims: BAK determines repair vs. replacement; shipping charges may apply, but otherwise no charge is made for warranty repair or replacement.
Terms to Know
- Hard roll-up tonneau cover: A bed cover made of rigid slats (rather than fabric) that rolls up toward the cab — combining hard-cover security and slash resistance with roll-up convenience.
- Slash-resistant / Level-3 security: BAK's highest security rating; the aluminum slats resist being cut through, unlike a soft vinyl cover.
- Rotational locking rails: Patented side rails that lock the cover down as it closes, resisting prying and forced entry.
- Automatic slam latches: Latches that engage on their own as the cover closes — you simply close it to lock; the release cable unlatches them.
- DualShield 60-grade vinyl: BAK's aluminum-reinforced vinyl surface for the X2. "60-grade" indicates the material weight/durability tier (the step-up X4s uses heavier 70-grade TriShield vinyl).
- PrecisionRoll: BAK's technology for a smooth, controlled roll-up action.
- Bulkhead seal: The seal at the front (cab end) of the bed that keeps water from entering where the cover meets the bulkhead.
- Evenly-distributed load: A weight rating (400 lbs here) that assumes the load is spread across the cover, not concentrated in one spot.
- 5th-wheel compatible: Works with most 5th-wheel/gooseneck hitch setups.
