Expert Reply:
There are some subtle difference between the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU76ZR and the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU98VR.
Overall the two racks are very similar, there are just some subtle differences/upgrades on the Piston Pro X. Both racks feature ratcheting arms with hydro-pneumatic pistons, cradle-less wheel trays, spring-loaded foot and hand pedal that lets you tilt and fold the rack with ease, easy installation with the flatlock cam system and keyed-a-like locks to deter theft of your bikes and the rack. They also both have a 67 lb. per bike weight capacity.
The Piston Pro X also features integrated LED brake lights and turn signals and a 1-Bike or 2-bike add-on option. The color scheme is also different. The Piston Pro is a black powder coated aluminum rack and steel hitch while the Piston Pro X is a gray powder coated aluminum rack and steel hitch.
