At under 14 lbs, this hitch bike rack is light enough for you to lift and install by yourself with no tools required. Hand knobs reduce vibration of the arms and mast during transport. Tilts with bikes unloaded.

Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
The Kuat Beta has dual arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. They slope up to provide ground clearance for steep driveways and bumpy roads.
To fold the arms down, remove the tethered bail pin at the top of the mast. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And when stored in this configuration, it doesn't take up as much space in your garage.
The shank also folds up, so it takes less space to store the Beta than it does to store a rack that only has folding arms.
Anti-sway cradles with rubber straps hold your bikes firmly in place. Each set of cradles has two straps that secure your bike along the top tube and one that secures the seat post or downtube. This multi-point contact helps keep your bikes from rocking back and forth, reducing bike-to-bike contact. The soft rubber cradles rotate around the rack's arms to accommodate bikes of different styles and shapes.
Easy Tilting for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to remove the whole rack to access your cargo area for grocery runs and other errands.
To tilt the rack, remove the tethered bail pin in the upper hole on the base of the mast and insert it in the lower hole. The pin serves as a stopper to support the mast when lowered. When you're ready to go, remove the pin, raise the mast, and reinsert the pin in the upper hole.
Anti-Wobble Hand Knobs
Hands knobs tighten the joints where the arms fold and where the mast tilts. This adds stability and reduces vibration during transport. Loosen the knobs when you're ready to fold the arms down or tilt the rack away from your vehicle, tighten them when you're ready to load your bikes.
1-Person, Tool-Free Installation
The Beta is made of lightweight aluminum that weighs less than 14 lbs, making it one of the lightest racks on the market and one of the easiest to install. All you have to do is slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. Turning the knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge in the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection.
Once the knob is snug, insert the pin and clip to secure the rack in your hitch.
Available Security and Adapter Bar
A hitch lock and cable lock (sold separately) are available to help deter theft of your bikes and the rack.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.
