E-bikes and fat-tire rigs can be tough to lift, but the Piston Pro makes it easy. The hydro-pneumatic ratcheting arms deploy automatically with just a tap, so you can use both hands to guide the bike onto the rack. Each U-shaped bridge adjusts for 18"–29" wheels and up to 5" tire width, holding securely by the tires—no frame contact. Add the telescoping aluminum ramp (sold separately) to roll bikes straight into place without straining your back.
Instead of fixed cradles, this rack uses open wheel trays that let you position bikes exactly where you want them. That means no bumping handlebars or pedals on the drive. The deep grooves grip everything from narrow road tires to 5" fat bike rubber, so whatever you ride stays spaced and stable without marks or scratches on the frame.
When you need to grab gear mid-trip, just pull the pedal to tilt the rack down—even with both bikes loaded. It folds up tight when not in use to keep things clean and out of the way in smaller spaces. The hand-and-foot pedal design means you never have to crawl around or reach between bikes to release the tilt; it’s all within easy reach.
Once the shank is seated in the hitch, tighten the flatlock cam with the included tool to expand the anti-rattle wedge inside. That tension holds the rack firmly in place so it won’t sway or shift at speed. A stainless steel hitch lock secures it to your vehicle, while a 12-mm braided steel cable with soft rubber coating locks both bikes to the rack—keeping everything right where it should be.
From burly e-bikes to adventure builds, this rack handles up to 60 lbs per bike across two trays. The aluminum body and steel hitch are finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance, and it fits 1-1/4" × 1-1/4" hitch receivers with wheelbases up to 53". Strong, solid, and smooth in operation—it’s built for riders who don’t want limits getting in the way of their next haul.

Looks awesome, Skip! Thanks for sharing the measurements on the rack compared to the '26 Honda Trailsport - it's nice having that information out there for such new vehicle :) Have you had a chance to get out there and break in the new rack?
