Entry-level Kuat quality at an accessible price point
Last reviewed: April 2026
Budget-friendly hanging bike rack for 2 bikes.
At a glance
Why this product
Kuat quality at an entry-level price — at 14 lbs with aluminum construction, this is the lightest hanging hitch rack I stock. Tilt-away for trunk access, carbon-frame-safe, 40 lb per-bike limit for standard bikes. The trade-off is no bike lock (only a hitch lock) and no e-bike support. I recommend this to budget-conscious buyers who want to get into hitch-mount carrying without overspending. Start here, upgrade to the Sherpa or NV when you are ready.
