Solid steel hitch rack — where Kuat quality begins
Last reviewed: April 2026
Single bike entry-level platform rack.
At a glance
Why this product
Start here if you carry one bike and want Kuat quality at an entry-level price. At 26 lbs with aluminum construction, it is light enough for anyone to handle. Tilt-away for trunk access, carbon-frame-safe, 45 lb bike capacity for standard bikes. The trade-off is no integrated bike lock and no e-bike rating, but you get into the Kuat ecosystem where everything is well-engineered. I recommend this to solo riders who want a quality single-bike rack without overspending.
