KUAT 1.25" Piston Pro X LED Dual Ratchet Hitch Rack - Secure Rugged Kashima-Coated Portable Foldable Easy-to-Use No Frame Contact 2-Bike Hauling Platform with 53" Max Wheelbase & 5" Max Tire Width

This is a great bike rack. Assembly only took a few minutes following their step by step instructions. I have two fat tire bikes, both with 4.5” tires, and they fit without a problem. The rack itself is sturdy with the bikes attached. It comes with a hitch lock and there is a secondary feature that allows you to tighten the tongue into the hitch itself to further secure it. It also comes with an integrated security cable that you run through the bikes and it locks internally into the rack itself. The lights on the rack work by plugging directly into your hitch light cable. The rack tilts approximately 45° allowing you to access your tailgate while the bikes are attached.

Best build quality by far of any rack I’ve used. Love the single hand lever activation for tilt down and support arm release. Nice feature of magnetic cable ties for 4wire connector keeps the wire nicely in place. I love that I can go from road to far to Mtb without any changes. Super easy, looks great, works great.

My wife and I recently bought e-bikes and we were looking for the easiest way to transport them.I did a lot of research on bike racks. I read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos on you tube. This was the bike rack I kept coming back to. I must say a was a little bit hesitant about it because of the cost. But after more and more research I decided to get it. I’m certainly glad I did. The quality of it is outstanding and the ease of use is amazing ! For the investment we made in our e-bikes, this was absolutely the right decision. Now that we got it and see the quality and how easy it is to use, I definitely recommend it and would not hesitate to make the purchase. Thanks Kuat for a great product. And thanks Amazon for great service.

Un rack fantástico! El mejor que he tenido!

This rack is simply awesome and truly high quality. We really wanted to love it. However after receiving it and getting the manual, we learned if your bike has fenders, it does not work as pictured. The arms cannot come up the full way (makes sense now….) and you have to get straps to secure your bike. Even with that, the bike seemed wobbly, which we can get with a much less expensive rack. Also, if your bike has fenders and/or is a fat tire bike, the wheel base accommodated is a bit shorter. Also might just have been our vehicle but the rack sits higher than what we are using now, so the separate ramp is a good purchase.

Best rack ever. The lights, the tilt, the materials! It isn't cheap but I love it.

I rarely take the time to write reviews but this bike rack is the best money I have spent since I can remember. Despite the fact that the Kuat Piston Pro X costs nearly $1400, it is worth the investment in my opinion. As I usually do (drives my wife crazy) I researched bike racks to an almost unhealthy extent. My reasoning was that I wanted something that would protect/haul our nearly $15k eMTBs. When you are attempting to transport your precious bikes around, you want something that is sturdy most of all, and anything else is really a bonus. Not only is this thing rock solid and aesthetically pleasing, but an absolute breeze to use. There is no part of the bike rack that touches the bike itself. So, you don't have to worry about straps or rubber bits on mounting arms (like the NV 2.0) that scratch your bike and/or rims. The roads where I live aren't in the best condition. Our eMTBs are @ 50lbs ea. and I am 100% confident that our bikes are safe while driving on our severely unmaintained, rough roads. The best part is how easy it is to load and unload our bikes. I am used to throwing a blanket or two over my tailgate and transporting bikes like that for years but lifting those heavy bikes over the side of my lifted F250 just isn't fun at all. Since I purchased the Kuat bike rack, I never thought to myself "I'd love to go riding but it's such a hassle to transport them". That thought process actually used to deter me from going on occasion. I just love this bike rack and my wife is sick of hearing about it, haha.

Bought this after stalling too long on a 1up rack and finding myself needing something with a quicker ship time. So far I am extremely pleased with the package and highly recommend it if you can justify the cost/feature ratio.Good1. Extremely easy to mount and remove bikes.2. Can handle road, mountain and electric bikes3. Absolutely rock solid and silent with no shaking4. Integrated break lights are a nice safety feature5. Lock is easy and much higher quality than other integrated locksBad1. There is a very ugly white stenciled logo on the rack that is not present in the promotional pictures or advertising. I'm hoping to figure out how to scrap this thing off. This one offends me since it is explicitly different than what is being shown in the product description and reviews.2. My license plate is obscured when the rack is folded and there is no mounting option on the rack. Technically I'm not sure it's legal for me to even have this on my vehicle in its current configuration.3. This thing is large and heavy and not a great choice if you want to just have it mounted a few day a week. 4. The tow harness that enables the great break/reverse light feature is awkward to plug in or remove and has a dangling cored that is hard to get placed right. This makes removal and replacement even worse than one would expect with a large rack.
