Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting
Light weight and folds easily to fit inside the trunk of an 06-12 Fusion. The fitment with this item and a Draw-Tite hitch required no modifications. However, the offset of the 1/2" receiver pin holes of this bike rack requires the use of a 3/8" hitch pin, one is included. If you want to use a key lock hitch pin, I am using a Reese hitch lock with the included bike rack pin and some metal sleeves that are available from just about any hardware store. I suppose the offset holes of this bike rack is to assist with the anti-rattle feature in conjunction with the receiver tensioner. I prefer compatibility with a Class-1 receiver. A trip to my friend's machine shop should correct this flaw.
I was looking for a light weight bike rack for my 2015 Honda Accord. Your videos stated that the Kuat Beta was light and easy to install. You were right. I opened the box, read the instructions, and had it installed in about 10 minutes. I don't use a rack lock. It is so easy to pop on and off the hitch that I keep the rack in my car trunk.
What our customers are saying:
"A couple months ago, I ordered a hitch & bike rack for my new 2005 Saturn VUE. Everything about the order was fast and easy. When my father bought a 2006 VUE, he wanted the same hitch, but it was not listed on the site. I contacted customer service and quickly received a response informing me that they were waiting for details on the new model. The next day I had another email saying it was available, less than an hour later, my order was placed and I had a "shipped" email. Outstanding service!"
