The Kuat Piston Pro X introduced innovative features like integrated taillights and Kashima-coated sliders, but the standout was the pneumatic pistons that assist in loading bikes. The follow-up Piston Pro streamlined the design, removing some extras to reduce cost, while retaining the user-friendly piston system that eases loading, especially valuable for families and heavier bikes. This hitch bike rack prioritizes secure bike holding without frame contact, compact storage, and advanced accessibility with foot-operated controls, confirming Kuat's reputation for sophisticated yet simple design in bike racks.
Even the pneumatic pistons that open the tire cradles could be considered a gimmick. Are they necessary? No. Do they make it easier to load bikes? Absolutely.
The rack offers a release lever that lets it pivot down for tailgate access and up for storage, with an oversized lower half for easy foot release.
