Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack LED w/ Kashima

When we started creating Piston™ Pro X, we took our design successes, and failures, and set out to improve on all of them. We knew we wanted one hand, one-tap pneumatic operation with zero contact on the bike frame. We wanted LED taillights and simple, tool-free adjustable tire chock slides for all bikes sizes and tires. Finally, we wanted the most durable materials and coatings. All things we knew we wanted in a rack, but had never seen together in one. And, after years of hard work, we are more than a little excited to share this revolutionary rack with you.

All aluminum construction with a steel hitch

It’s burly and designed to stay that way. Our all-metal construction and ten-year, no-fade Tiger Powder coat, means it will look great for the long haul.

Dual Genuine Kashima Coat hydro-pneumatic tire arms

Our exclusive partnership with Genuine Kashima Coat brings the most advanced coating on the planet where you need it. One simple tap and the hydro-pneumatic arms open wide, then you just ratchet them in to fit on your bike tire perfectly—no contact with the frame. Beautiful and amazingly durable, it makes bells and whistles jealous.

Integrated LED taillights with magnetic quick-connect plug-in cable

Perhaps our brightest idea yet. Folded or flat, these integrated LED lights make sure your beautiful ride doesn’t block the taillights on your rig. Attaching is über simple with a magnetic plug that fits right into your trailer light connection.

One-handed FastFit™ tool free tire chock slides

Whether you are rolling on smallish wheels or beefy tires, you won’t need any adapters or tools to make them fit. Just squeeze and slide to adjust the arms to hold 18”-29” tires up to 5” wide up to a 53” wheelbase.

Flatlock™ hitch cam with lockable, tamper resistant install tool

No more wondering where you put that tool you need to make your rack wobble free. It’s right where you need it when you need it, held in place magnetically. Plus, you can lock it up for added security.

Hitch lock and semi-integrated cable lock

The hitch lock keeps the rack secured so no one can slide it out when you are not looking, and the semi-integrated 12mm cable lock makes sure your bike stays locked up tight on while looking tight. Our FlatLock™ hitch cam is also a security tool for double safety.

QuickConnect™ Add-ons

When you have more than two bikes, quickly add one or two additional riders with our QuickConnect™ one bike or two bike add-on. The modular design makes attaching the additional trays super simple and the end pull handle makes pivoting the rack up or down convenient. Even easier than that? The lights automatically connect.

Optional eBike Ramp and selective bike unloading

Easily load and unload heavier cruisers and e-bikes with the optional eBike ramp and save the grunt work for the ride. AND, no need to take off the front bikes to get to the back one. Piston™ Pro X makes selective bike unloading a simple option.

"Before I used this rack, I wasn’t convinced it was for me. But the ease of use, the modern design, the solid feel, and the safety of having taillights where other drivers can see them have made it my go-to for transporting bikes."
