Easy to assemble. The bike mounting mechanism is fast, doesn't require any tool and keeps expensive bikes nicely into the position. Review: Great Rack, easy to assemble 1 yr review - 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. ## Features - ULTIMATE BIKE TRANSPORT - The Kuat Piston Pro X Hitch Rack is a premium 2-bike carrier designed for serious cyclists; It features a robust stainless steel and metal construction, accommodating bikes with wheelbases up to 53" and tire sizes from 18" to 29"; With a maximum load capacity of 60 lbs per tray on the 1.25" hitch version, it's perfect for transporting most bike types - INNOVATIVE ONETAP TECHNOLOGY - Loading your bikes has never been easier thanks to Kuat's patented hydro-pneumatic OneTap levers; With just one touch, the cradle arms automatically open into position, making the process of securing your bikes quick, effortless, and enjoyable; This feature sets the Piston Pro X apart from traditional bike racks, saving you time and energy - SLEEK & SECURE DESIGN - This dual ratchet hitch rack boasts a stylish Galaxy Gray finish and genuine Kashima-coated struts, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics; It comes equipped with integrated security features, including a cable lock system to keep your bikes safe during transport; The rack's durability and attention to detail make it a standout choice for discerning cyclists - INTEGRATED LED LIGHTING - Safety meets convenience with the Piston Pro X's built-in LED taillights; These lights utilize a simple plug and play system for quick assembly, enhancing visibility during night drives; The system easily connects to your vehicle using the included flat 4-pin connector, providing peace of mind for both you and other drivers on the road - CONVENIENT STORAGE - The 1.25" hitch version features a smart foldable design that allows for easy storage when not in use; This space-saving feature simplifies storage and improves vehicle accessibility by minimizing the rack's footprint, making it easier to maneuver and park your vehicle while keeping the rack readily available ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09W7R5CWV | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,168 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #85 in Bicycle Car Racks | | Brand | Kuat | | Brand Name | Kuat | | Color | Galaxy Gray | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Bicycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 92 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00857373008429 | | Included Components | Hitch Bike Rack | | Item Dimensions | 36 x 27 x 10.5 inches | | Item Length | 35 inches | | Item Weight | 76 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 36 x 27 x 10.5 inches | | Load Capacity | 60 pounds | | Manufacturer | Kuat | | Manufacturer Part Number | PX12G | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material | Multi | | Material Type | Multi | | Model Number | Kuat | | Mounting Type | Tire Mount,Wheel Mount,Hitch Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 857373008412 | | UPC | 857373008429 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Bicycle | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kuat - **Color:** Galaxy Gray - **Is Foldable:** No - **Item Weight:** 76 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 36 x 27 x 10.5 inches - **Load Capacity:** 60 Pounds - **Material:** Multi - **Mounting Type:** Tire Mount,Wheel Mount,Hitch Mount - **OEM Part Number:** 857373008412 - **Vehicle Service Type:** Bicycle ## Images ![Piston Pro X 1.25", 2" Hitch, 2 Bikes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EEbuMmqqL.jpg) ![Piston Pro X 1.25", 2" Hitch, 2 Bikes - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yr9DoNmWL.jpg) ![Piston Pro X 1.25", 2" Hitch, 2 Bikes - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51swkCZLxbL.jpg) ![Piston Pro X 1.25", 2" Hitch, 2 Bikes - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TCgT-2H9L.jpg) ![Piston Pro X 1.25", 2" Hitch, 2 Bikes - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514VIR2pucL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this carry two bikes if my spare tire is mounted on the back door of my CRV?** A: Hello, will it carry surron e-bike which is 140lbs and another e-bike 40 lbs? **Q: What is the max bike weight for each bike on the hitch?** A: Maximium bike weight is 67lbs (per tray).

Easy to assemble. The bike mounting mechanism is fast, doesn't require any tool and keeps expensive bikes nicely into the position. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Rack, easy to assemble 1 yr review *by V***Y on November 21, 2025* 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.

For a bike with fenders, the max wheelbase is 45". You only find that out when you order the extra fender strap kit, and then only if you read the fine print. READ THE FINE PRINT. Our $6000 Specialized Como 5.0 IGL Medium has a wheelbase of 48". We put it on the rack, and it fell off as we were on an on-ramp to a freeway, and the bike was dragging on the ground until we could safely pull over to the margin. Our fault. Except the manufacturer should have written clear instructions on exactly what to do for bikes with fenders. We found a video showing how to mount a bike with fenders, but that video (not by Kuat) did not give enough detail to warn us that something bad could happen if you don't do everything exactly right. The most important missing instruction? When you press the release that allows the arms to swing wide, you MUST push the released bar back enough to hear a tiny click... or your bike will fall off. This is not an issue when there are no fenders. But when fenders are involved, the fit can appear to be tight on the fender side, but it won't hold until you hear that necessary click! Otherwise, a terrific bike rack. EDIT: after complaining to Kuat, they REFUNDED the FULL cost of our bike repair. Wow! This is exemplary customer service. We ended up having a metalworker cut off the tail end of the fender, so that bike can now be loaded onto the Kuat rack without any of the hassle of having fenders. We recommend anyone having a fendered bike consider doing that, because when you don't have to worry about fenders, the bike rack works flawlessly. ## Frequently Bought Together - KUAT 1.25" 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 - KUAT Pivot V2 Swing Away Bike Rack Extension | Durable Adjustable 90 & 120-Degree Swinging Bicycle Hauling 2" Hitch Extender | Car Truck Backdoor Access| Up to 4 Bike/250lbs Capacity - Passenger Side - KUAT Piston E-Bike Ramp - Compact Lightweight Rugged Durable Portable Extendable Easy-to-Attach Loading Ramp Compatible with Piston Pro X Rack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/442273519-piston-pro-x-1-25-2-hitch-2-bikes](https://www.desertcart.de/products/442273519-piston-pro-x-1-25-2-hitch-2-bikes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
