Our verdict

A three-bike hitch rack that holds bikes by the wheels and includes a semi-integrated cable lock. Its heavy weight and the single load figure in the listing are worth checking before you buy.

Overview

A vehicle with a two inch hitch receiver is where this Kuat rack mounts, carrying three bikes on a tire-mount platform in alloy steel. A semi-integrated cable lock and tamper-resistant hardware secure the bikes.

Holding bikes by the tires leaves frames untouched and fits a wide range of wheel sizes. The limitation is weight, since the rack itself is heavy to lift, and the listing gives a single load figure without saying whether it applies per bike.

Who it's for

Cyclists with a two inch hitch who carry up to three bikes of varying wheel sizes will use the fit range. Anyone who needs a very light rack, or a hanging frame-clamp style, should look at other types.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Carries three bikes
  • Wide wheel size range
  • Semi-integrated cable lock
  • Tire mount avoids frame contact
Cons
  • Load figure unclear per bike
  • Fit list not given

Performance notes

Wheel mounting clamps the tire and avoids paint contact, while the long platform and the wheelbase limit set which bikes fit. The load rating and hitch tongue weight cap what the rack should carry. Cable lock deters casual theft.
