Removable Add-On

Kuat Piston Pro ratcheting hooks

The Piston Pro carries 4 bikes, however the front 2 positions can be easily removed so there's less of a load on you and your vehicle if only 2 people are going riding. When it's not needed, simply remove the front section with the included tool and throw it in your trunk or leave it at home. A single bike add-on (sold separately) lets you convert the rack into a 3-bike carrier.


Pivoting Arms with Hydro-Pneumatic Struts and Adjustable Bridges

Kuat Piston Pro ratcheting hooks

The Piston Pro has arms with hydro-pneumatic struts that deploy automatically by simply tapping the release levers, so you can easily load your bikes with both hands. They operate like the gas struts on your SUV that lift and support the rear hatch.


Kuat Piston Pro ratcheting hooks

To load your bikes, tap the levers to deploy the hydro-pneumatic arms, set your bikes on the trays, and rotate the arms up over the wheels. Ratchets hold the arms in place, so once you squeeze the arms against the wheels there's nothing left to do. When you're ready to unload your bikes, tap the levers to release the arms - it's that simple.


Kuat Piston Pro ratcheting hooks

The U-shaped arms have bridges that secure your bikes firmly by the wheel, so they won't scratch or scuff the bike's frame. Each arm has labelled settings for its bridge - 20", 24", 26", 27.5" and 29" tires. Just pinch the spring-loaded levers on each bridge and slide it to the corresponding tire size for each bike - no tools required.


Grooved Wheel Trays

Kuat Piston Pro front wheel cradles

The Piston Pro doesn't have cradles for the wheels like most platform-style bike racks. Instead, it has wheel trays that allow you to position your bikes on the rack exactly where you want them, not where the cradles dictate you place them. This helps prevent your handlebars and other bike parts from bumping into each other. Additionally, the trays have grooves in the tracks that accommodate narrow 18c road bike tires up to 5" fat bike tires.


Spring-Loaded Hand and Foot Pedal for Tilting and Folding

Kuat Piston Pro Complete SecurityKuat Piston Pro Installation

The rack tilts down with your bikes loaded. So, whether you're at the trail or the grocery store, you don't have to remove your bikes to access your cargo area. It also folds up when not in use. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And if you want to remove it, it doesn't take up as much space to store it.


Kuat Piston Pro rear wheel cradle

The spring-loaded hand and foot pedal is easily accessible when the rack is tilted up. When you're ready to load your bikes, simply step on the pedal and lower the rack with both hands. To tilt the rack with bikes loaded, reach under your front bike and pull up on the pedal with your hand. No more crawling through your bikes or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to hit the tilt release lever. To return it to the upright position, pull up on the lever and raise the rack until it clicks into position.


Easy Installation

Kuat Piston Pro Installation

The rack is easy to install. Just slide the shank into your hitch and use the included security tool to tighten the flatlock cam. As you tighten the cam, an anti-rattle wedge is deployed inside the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.


Kuat Piston Pro Complete Security

The security tool has a hollow-point hex indentation, so it can only be used with the Piston Pro. This helps keep the rack secure on your vehicle. When you're done using it, you can store it in your trunk or glove compartment.


Complete Security for Bikes and Rack

Kuat Piston Pro integrated cable lockKuat Piston Pro hitch lock

A cable lock is included to secure your bikes to the rack. The 12-mm thick, braided steel cable threads through your bike's frames, and locks back into the rack. The cable has a soft rubber cover that won't scratch or scuff your bikes' paint. A stainless steel hitch lock is also included to secure the rack to your vehicle.


Available Accessories

Kuat Piston Pro Ramp

An aluminum ramp (sold separately) lets you roll your heavy e-bikes on and off the rack - no heavy lifting required. The ramp telescopes to ensure it touches the ground so you don't have to lift your bike at all. It can also be used to decrease the angle of approach to make loading even easier.


Kuat Piston Pro Ramp

A hook-and-loop strap kit (sold separately) lets you carry bikes with fenders. The Fender Kit Only setting on each arm indicates where to place the straps so they don't make contact with your bike's fenders.

etrailer does an excellent job reviewing and showcasing its products. We spent many hours of research on the site before deciding on the Kuat. Assembly was fairly simple and quick. The features of the rack make it easy to use. Stable ride for our bikes down a wide variety of conditions (highway, dirt road, wash boards). Expensive, but the ease of use and quality make it worthwhile.



by:

I researched tray racks for mountain bikes and knew that Kuat's Piston Pro was the best rack for my needs. I love etrailer for the how to install videos, support and pricing. If etrailer sells an item I'm interested in I purchase from them. I do this because of how hard they work for their customers. This rack is exceptional. Build quality is first class. The assembly was simple, the locking cable and hitch lock are very sturdy. My 29" wheel full suspension Specialized fits perfectly. My son's smaller Scott Mountain Bike also fits perfectly. We are getting Fat Tire Bikes and the trays support 5" tire widths. Adjustments for wheel size is simple, loading a bike is even easier. The bikes are solidly secured in place. 10 out of 10.

  • Does The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # NV22G-NA22G Interfere With Bike Fenders
    Hi Rebekka, The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # NV22G-NA22G has a ratcheting arm that will interfere with front fenders so it unfortunately wouldn't be the best option option for hauling your bikes. If you wanted to stick with the Kuat brand then you'll need the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU58ZR instead, which does mount via the wheels but the arms don't have to rest against the forks and interfere with the fenders. Inno offers a similar style rack # INH142 that's quite...

  • Can Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 3 Bikes Be Used with Single Bike Add-On for a 4-Bike Rack
    The Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # KU38ZR cannot be used with another 1-Bike add-on so you'll either need to go with the 4-Bike version, part # KU58ZR, right off the bat, or you'll need to get the 2-Bike Add-On # KU26ZR to use when you need to carry 4 bikes. We've seen modular bike racks in the past that let you add a single tray at a time and while the initial thought is a good idea, those racks would get way too heavy way too fast. So this system of either one tray or two trays...

  • Is Weight Capacity of Kuat Piston Pro 4-Bike Rack Per Bike or Total
    The capacity is how much each individual bike can weigh and not the total amount; so each of your four bikes must weigh 40 lbs or less when using the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU58ZR.

  • Will a Kuat 4 Bike Rack Work With a 2024 Mazda CX-30
    It looks like the Kuat 4 Bike Racks : # KU77FR, # NV22B-NA22B, # KU58ZR, & # KU45VR you're referring to, all require a 2" hitch and unfortunately only a class I 1 1/4" hitch is offered for your Mazda. If you're needing a hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C49CR will work great, but you're not going to be able to use your 4 bike rack. The only way any of those bike racks would physically fit is if you used a hitch expander # HTAD, but using an adapter would effectively cut your...

  • Loading Ramp to Fit Kuat Piston Pro 4-Bike Rack
    To add a ramp to the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU58ZR you just need the Loading Ramp # KU63VR. This easily slides over the edges of the trays and then can be removed fairly quickly for a simple add on.

  • 4 Bike Rack for 2016 Toyota Highlander Carrying Carbon Bikes and 18 inch Wheel Bike
    Hey Steve, so we have ONE bike rack that covers everything you need and it happens to be the nicest (most expensive) bike rack we carry...but like I said it's only option that I can confidently recommend that covers all of the things you need. The bike rack you need is the Kuat Piston Pro 4 bike rack part # KU58ZR. This is a 4 bike rack that only touches the bikes by the tires which protects the carbon frame, it's only option that can carry an 18 inch diameter wheel like you need, and...
