Why We Like The Kuat Piston Pro Hitch Rack
Kuat's Piston Pro Hitch Rack shares features with their most high-end bike rack but sheds extra bells and whistles for a simpler, scaled-down tool. Its all-metal construction is tough as nails, keeping us worry-free as we speed down the freeway and off-road to our destination. OneTap Piston arms use hydro-pneumatic tech to open and close the arms with a simple touch, and the touchless design keeps the rugged rack away from our bikes' frames, preventing scratches and dings in the paint.

Very Sturdy and Well Built
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Very Sturdy and Well built. Easy to use. Took me about 30 minutes to unpack and assemble. Maybe obvious to others, but install the kick lever first, as the rack will not fold and unfold without it. Once its assembled its less than one minute to get on and off your trailer hitch. less than 10 seconds to load and unload bikes. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra $300-400 on the Piston Pro X, as I'm not sure it was worth the lights that integrate into your braking system and turn signal. I have this on a Yukon, and my brake lights and turn signal on my car are much wider than the rack. Otherwise it is the same rack as the Piston Pro X in case anyone is wondering.
