The Kuat Piston Pro 2″ Dual Ratchet Platform 2-Bike Rack (PP22B) from Nomadic Supply Company® features some of the same great features as The Piston Pro X, minus a few bells and whistles. Features like all metal construction, OneTap hydro-pneumatic tire arms that make no contact on the bike frame, and tool-free wheel chock slides.
The Kuat Piston Pro 2″ Dual Ratchet Platform 2-Bike Rack (PP22B) for your car is all-metal and can safely transport bikes and electric bikes weighing up to 67 lbs per tray or 42 lbs per tray on a chassis-mounted RV hitch.
With just one tap, the pneumatic arms open wide and grab your bike tire perfectly, creating no contact with the frame. Whether you’re rolling on smallish wheels or beefy tires, you won’t need any adapters or tools to make them fit. Just squeeze and slide the adjustable wheel chocks to hold 18”-29” tires.
Additionally, the Kuat Piston Pro 2″ Dual Ratchet Platform 2-Bike Rack (PP22B) will hold bikes with wheelbases up to 53” and tires as wide as 5”.
And, when it comes to security, we didn’t cut any costs. The provided hitch lock keeps the bike rack secured and safe, while the semi-integrated 12mm cable lock makes sure your bike stays locked up tight while looking tight.
