Kuat Piston Ion 2 Bike Rack

Specifically designed for heavy e-bikes yet versatile enough to work with almost any bike, the ION carries up to 2 bikes at 45kg each with zero frame contact.

A new Foot Pedal Lock and PedalPivot™ system make folding the rack up or down simple and intuitive, while the FastFit™ tool-free wheel chock system ensures quick adjustment for a wide range of wheel sizes.

The Piston ION isn’t limited to paved roads.

It’s approved for RV use and off-road rated, so you can haul your e-mountain bikes deep into the backcountry or hit gravel routes with confidence.

For RV setups, each tray supports up to 36kg per bike, while off-road use allows for 22kg per bike. With a 2” hitch-only design, adjustable wheel stabilisers for a secure bike fit, and fender compatibility, it adapts to the demands of riders.

Packed with premium details that elevate it beyond standard racks, the ION includes a semi-integrated 12mm high-strand cable lock, stainless steel barrel hitch lock, and an aluminium ramp for easy e-bike loading and unloading.

Optional accessories like the License Plate Mount keep you legal on the road.

Finished with a powder coat and backed by our No Worries Limited Warranty, the Piston ION is built to last as long as your adventures.

Perfect for: Cargo e-bikes, e-MTB riders, road trip travel, and riders who go off the grid or around the block.

Fender compatible

Easily adjust the wheel chock with a quick slide to fit the correct wheel size when using fenders. For the best fit, position the wheel chock as close to the fenders as possible and secure with provided hook-and-loop tire strap. Always use the rear tire strap on the tray when carrying bikes with fenders.

RV and Of-Road Approved

Take your bikes beyond the pavement.

The Piston ION™ is both RV and off-road ready and built to handle varied terrain while keeping your bikes secure.

Weight capacity decreases to 36kg per tray with approved RV use and 22kg per tray for off-road use.

Foot pedal lock

The ION foot pedal features a new Foot Pedal Lock.

Simply spin the knob clockwise to engage or disengage (red showing means disengaged). Ensure the Foot Pedal Lock is fully engaged when loaded and in use.

Bike ramp included

The lightweight all-aluminium ramp quickly hooks onto the ION tyre arm joints and telescopes to the perfect length for easy bike loading on any terrain.

When not in use, the ramp easily stows away in your trunk or truck bed for transport and storage.

Patented Flatlock™ Hitch Cam

The Piston ION uses our patented Flatlock Hitch Cam System, delivering a solid, wobble-free fit in your hitch receiver.

It has a convenient hand-tightening knob for a fast, simple, and secure installation. No tools needed.
