These straps have worked very well with our Kuat bike rack. I would recommend them.



by:

Seems to be a good product. Just not sure of the Kuat piston carrier for my Fiido Titan. Bottom may be secured but top half of bike seems to rock side to side more than I like to see with no center support post to prevent the rocking.



by:

Works as advertised



by:

Awesome, fitment is great easy install highly recommend it thanks Rick.



by:

5 stars for the product being as expected. 1 star deduction because [online store] sells similar straps (1”x18” with plastic d-ring) in a 12-pack for only $x. etrailer is selling a Kuat-branded product though, so there’s that.

We have a lowest price pledge that I will attach. As long as the product is the same brand and style.



by:

Really needed for Emile with fenders.



by:

The straps are not worth the high price. We had one come apart the first time we used it. The glue supporting the buckle came apart.



by:

Total rip off 2 cheap velcro pieces. SHAME ON YOU ETRAILER



by:

Nice quality, but a bit pricey for 2 Velcro straps...



by:

Work great. Just a bit more security with the e-bike fenders!



by:

Necessary



by:

Everything was delivered as advertised! I couldn’t be happier.



by:

This will do the trick!

  • Can Bikes With Fenders be Carried With Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack
    Yep, you can definitely load bikes with fenders on the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitch # KU66ZR or 2" Hitch # KU76ZR. For either rack, all you need to do is wrap straps around the tire and ratcheting arm with the Fender Straps # KU43VR. Using those straps will protect the fenders from coming into contact with the rack's arm. If your bikes are heavier and you want some help lifting them on either rack, there is also an option to do that by adding the Loading Ramp # KU63VR.

  • Can Kuat Piston Pro Carry Veloctric Nomad 2x
    Hey Tom, you can definitely use the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU89SR with your Veloctric Nomad 2X bike but you will need the fender strap kit part # KU43VR which was designed for bikes just like yours that have fenders. Check out the attached picture to see what this looks like installed on a bike just like yours. Looks like you just ordered the rack the other day but not the strap kit, is that correct?

  • Will Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack Fit 2024 Ford Transit T350
    Hey Michael! The Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU76ZR is a really great option I think you'll be happy with. This is Class B compatible so you will be able to use it on your camper van. It looks like those bikes have fenders so you will also need the Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro # KU43VR. An optional ramp # KU63VR is also available. As far as clearance is concerned, I can't say for sure if you will be able to open the rear doors or not. I did attach the full measurements...

  • How Can I Install My E-Bike W/ Fenders On My Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack?
    To secure your e-bikes to your Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # KU98VR you will just need to wrap the strap # KU43VR around your bikes rear tire, securing it to the ratcheting arm and rack base. Attached are a couple of videos for you to check out.

  • Do You Have to Have 4-Way to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack
    Good question, and it is not a necessity for your car to have a 4-way flat trailer connector in order to use the Kuat Piston Pro X bike racks. The 4-way connector that plugs in between the bike rack and the 4-way on your car (if you had one) comes separately in a parts bag, so it is not actually attached to the rack. I have added a photo for you which shows where you'd plug it in so you can see it is not connected to the rack. So you definitely do not have to use a 4-way with the rack...

  • Gazelle C380 E-Bike Compatibility With Kuat Bike Racks
    The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is my favorite bike rack for styling and simplicity of use. Best of all it can be used with your Gazelle C380 e-bike even with you having the rear fender that nearly covers the entire rear tire. The Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU43VR allow you to secure the bike safely in the rack. The Loading Ramp # KU63VR will make loading your heavy bike much easier.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation with Loading Ramp for Carrying 4-Bikes with Fenders
    I have 2 different bike rack options for you and it really depends on what you're wanting to get out of the bike rack. From what you said in your question it sounds like you really care about quality so for that I recommend the Kuat Piston Pro X and the following parts: - Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU45VR - Loading Ramp # KU63VR - Fender Straps # KU43VR The is a top-of-the-line bike rack that has unrivaled ease of use. The only problem with this solution is that the...

  • Can Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack Carry Bikes with Fenders
    Hey Vivek, the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU98VR will work great for you because they actually have a kit that allows the rack to be used with fenders and cargo baskets with the part # KU43VR. You can still email me your bike pictures if you like but I attached a picture that has this rack carrying a bike similar to yours.

  • Recommended 2 E-Bike Rack with Ramp for 2 Step-Thru Bikes with Fenders
    Hello Jenny. I have the perfect option for you the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU98VR. This bike rack can handle exactly 67lbs per bike. You will need to also purchase the Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack - Qty 2 # KU43VR since your e-bikes have fenders. The ramp is also sold separately so you will also need the Loading Ramp for Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU63VR. I have attached review videos for all 3 products so...

  • Best Bike Rack For QuietKat Ranger Ebike & Trek Ebike With Fenders
    Glad you asked because while we do have an option for you, the Kuat Piston Pro # KU98VR is not a good choice for your QuietKat Ranger ebike. Reason for that is the rear pannier rack on the Ranger would require you to use the Piston Pro's Fender Straps # KU43VR, and those straps only work on bikes with wheelbases up to 45 inches. Your Ranger has a longer wheelbase, so you'd need a different rack, and the best one for your bikes is the Thule EasyFold XT, and you'd also need to add its longer...

  • Does Euphree City Robin X Work on Kuat Piston Pro without Adapter Straps
    The front fender of your Euphree City Robin X is small enough to allow the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU76ZR to work without the strap but if you have the rear fender/rack on the bike the rear wheel attachment would require the strap part # KU43VR. If you don't have the rear fender setup then you'd be fine.

  • Parts Needed to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack on 2023 Buick Envision
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR is a great choice for carrying the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR on your 2023 Buick Envision. This bike rack does feature lights on the outer part of the frame that I recommend utilizing so you'll also want to install the T-Connector Wiring Kit # C56325 and mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 for that feature. The Piston Pro X features other accessories like the Fender Straps # KU43VR that allow you to carry bikes with fenders or the Loading...
