This stylish rack from Kuat carries up to two bikes and fits 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers. Constructed with rigid 6061 heat-treated aluminum tubing, it is one of the lightest bike racks in its class, weighing less than 13 pounds. Innovative anti-sway cradles fit up to 3" diameter frames. The short distance between the rack arms is designed to carry most alternative, women's and children's frames without the need for an adapter bar. Its convenient hand tightening cam system eliminates the need for tools by tightening the bike rack inside the hitch receiver using a large turning knob. The folding design of this bike rack allows for both easy storage and full access to your rear cargo area. This bike rack is made with a powder-coated Black finish and does not require any assembly.
Each cradle has two straps to grab multiple bars on the bike frame. The cradles fit up to 3" frames.
Where other racks require a bolt and wrench to tighten the rack inside the hitch, the Kuat Beta uses only a convenient hand knob.
Aside from tilting away from the vehicle, the arms fold down, and the hitch bar rotates 270 degrees, parallel to the upright bar. This folding design makes the rack very easy to store.

- Kuat Beta Fit on 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
- In order to determine if the Kuat Beta Bike Rack, part # B202-114 will clear your spare tire, you will have to make a measurement. The shank on the rack measures 10-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the upright portion of the rack. Measure from the hitch pin hole in your receiver out past the furthest point of the spare tire. An easy way to do this is to have a helper hold a 2x4 flush against the face of the spare tire. The distance from the pin hole to the lumber needs to be less than 10-1/2 inch

- Comparing Thule Helium and Kuat Beta Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks for a 2007 Mazda Miata

- Recommended 2 Bike Rack for Honda Element with 1-1/4 Inch Receiver and Camper with 2 Inch Receiver
- Although the Kuat Beta is an excellent bike rack, it is NOT designed for use on the rear of a towed camper. A bike rack mounted to the rear of a camper will be subjected to additional jarring and bouncing that can cause damage to the receiver and possibly loss of the rack and the bikes.
What you are needing is a rack that is designed to be used with both a 1-1/4 and a 2 inch receiver and is engineered to be strong enough for use on your trailer. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Swagman XT

- The best choice of bike rack will depend on which features you find most important. With the limited weight capacity provided by the Class I hitch on your Mazda 3, the aluminum construction of the Kuat Beta you were looking at makes it a great choice. Due to the light weight of the rack, you will be able to carry up to 100 lbs of bikes. The Beta uses an innovative anti-rattle device which greatly reduces the movement of the rack in the receiver.

- Differences Between Kuat Beta and Thule Roadway for 2010 Mazda 5 with Class I Receiver
- The main difference between the two racks is the weight differential, as you mentioned. The Kuat rack has a slightly higher weight capacity, 80 lbs versus the 70 lb capacity of the Thule Roadway.

- Construction and Durability of Kuat Beta # B202-114 Versus B201-2
- The shank on the Kuat Beta for 1-1/4 inch receivers, part # is constructed of steel, while the rest of the rack is constructed of aluminum. This gives the 1-1/4 inch model the same 80 lb weight capacity as the model for 2 inch receivers, part # B202-2.
I would consider any Kuat rack to be bullet-proof. You would be best served by going with the B202-114 model, because using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity (maximum downward force that can be applied) of your receiver by 50 p
