Kuat Piston® Pro Bike Hitch Rack

The Kuat Piston® Pro delivers premium bike transport with the innovative technology Kuat is known for. Built with durable all-metal construction and equipped with Kuat’s patented OneTap™ hydro-pneumatic tire arms, the Piston Pro secures bikes by the tires with zero frame contact—protecting your bike while making loading quick and effortless.

Designed for everyday riders and weekend adventurers alike, the Piston Pro features the FastFit™ tool-free wheel chock system for quick adjustments to fit a wide range of bike sizes. The PedalPivot™ folding system makes raising or lowering the rack simple, while the FlatLock™ hitch cam keeps the rack tight and secure in your receiver.

With strong metal construction, premium coatings, and the ability to expand with optional add-ons, the Piston Pro is built for reliable bike transport whether you're heading across town or across the country.
