KUAT 2" 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

I would like to say that I purchased this for a road trip from Indiana to West Virginia so road traveled! I had 2 bikes on this a Aipas M1 that weighed 79lbs and a lighter bike 55lb. No issue with the weight. I had the Aipas closer to the tailgate. It is pricey rack for sure. I like the construction of the rack and wished the optional tray to load heavier bikes would be included with the rack. It was easy to assemble and easy to lock down my bikes. I like the magnet attachments on the cable to connect to my 4 pin on my truck. the only downside that I have is on my trucks 4 pin cover spring loaded and presses on the cable and pinches. no fault of the trailer but I use velcro to hold it open to relieve the tension.

Unaware of any better bike rack out there at this time; this is simply the best! I feel better knowing the Piston Pro X comes with rear lights alerting drivers behind you to be more mindful and keep an additional buffer to possibly avoid tapping into your rack by accident. This quality set comes with a nice sturdy cable and lock to secure your bike(s) to the rack. It was also easy to install. When up to 2 bikes are secured, it is easy to tilt the rack down to prepare for opening/closing your rear hatch door. While it is more expensive than other bike racks out there, if you are looking for the best available, this is it.

Nice sturdy rack but lights don't always function correctly.

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.

Wow. I have seen incredibly well engineered products and others made with great quality materials. Seldom, if ever, have I gotten both in one product. Solid as a rock. Easy to use. So well thought out in every way. Even the ratchet to tighten/loosen the cam that makes it so sturdy, is stored in the rack and needs the key to access it. Bikes and rack don’t budge when on the road. No detail was spared and yes, I expect to pay for that. It makes Thule look like a kids toy. Well done Kuat!

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. Good 1. Extremely easy to mount and remove bikes. 2. Can handle road, mountain and electric bikes 3. Absolutely rock solid and silent with no shaking 4. Integrated break lights are a nice safety feature 5. Lock is easy and much higher quality than other integrated locks Bad 1. 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.

The best rack on the planet hands down. The price I will make you cringe, however you get what you pay for.

This rack is second to none. It’s built sturdy and high quality. Loading and unloaded your bikes takes less than 30 seconds and the added LED lights on the Pro model is well worth the money
