Kuat Beta 4-Bike

Four bikes at only 22 lbs with Kuat's aluminum construction — that is the lightest four-bike rack I have seen. Tilt-away for trunk access, carbon-frame-safe, 40 lb per-bike limit for standard bikes. The trade-offs for that light weight are no bike locks and no e-bike support. I recommend this to budget-conscious families who remove their rack frequently and do not want to wrestle with heavy steel alternatives. Start here, upgrade later when you know what features matter to you.
