Solid steel hitch rack — where Kuat quality begins
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
Three bikes with Kuat build quality at a mid-range price — tilt-away, carbon-frame-safe, steel construction at 48 lbs. The 45 lb per-bike limit handles standard bikes, and the 50-inch wheelbase limit is something to check against your bikes. No bike locks is the main gap. I recommend this to families of three who want Kuat reliability without jumping to the Sherpa or NV price range. Start here if budget matters, and the upgrade path is clear when you are ready.
