Big bikes don’t have to be a workout before the ride starts. The Piston Pro uses hydro-pneumatic struts that deploy with a simple tap of the release levers, so the arms lift and position themselves for you. Each arm locks over the wheel using U-shaped bridges with labeled settings for 20", 24", 26", 27.5", and 29" tires. No frame contact, no tools, and no heavy lifting—just tap, load, and go.
Nothing ruins a drive like a rack that wobbles. The Piston Pro locks tight in the hitch using a flatlock cam system and an included security tool. As you tighten it, an internal wedge presses out to remove play between the rack and hitch, cutting down on movement and noise. Once in place, the setup stays firm mile after mile, even with two 67-lb bikes loaded up.
Whether you’re grabbing gear mid-trip or parking in tight spots, the spring-loaded hand and foot pedal keeps things easy. Step or pull the pedal to tilt the rack down—no need to unload bikes first. When you’re done, tilt it back or fold it up to save space. It’s smooth to operate and leaves both hands free to guide the rack exactly where you want it.
The Piston Pro locks down both ends of the setup. A 12-mm braided steel cable secures your bikes to the rack, while a stainless steel hitch lock keeps the rack attached where it belongs. Both locks are keyed alike, and the cable’s rubber cover prevents scratches. Peace of mind comes standard every time you walk away from your rig.
From narrow 18c road tires to 5" fat bike rubber, the cradle-less trays hold your bikes exactly where you place them, so handlebars and pedals don’t clash. The rack handles wheelbases up to 53" and carries 2 bikes at 67 lbs each (42 lbs when used on an RV). For e-bikes or heavier frames, a telescoping aluminum ramp is available separately to roll them on without lifting.

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?
