Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles

TX-104 dual arms

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.


Kuat tilting arms

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.


Kuat folding shank

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.


Durable dual-strap cradles provide extra support for bike frames (shown on the Pearl model)

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

TX-104 arms out

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.


Kuat base

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

hand knobsTX-104 dual arms

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

hand knob

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.


pin and clip

Once the knob is snug, insert the pin and clip to secure the rack in your hitch.


Available Security and Adapter Bar

locklock

A hitch lock and cable lock (sold separately) are available to help deter theft of your bikes and the rack.


adapter bar

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.

  • How to Carry Bikes on a 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack with a Sunroof
    Using the JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 along with the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR will be taller than using the Yakima RailBar Crossbars # Y00432-0433 for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack but you do need to note that every roof rack manufacturer states that a sun or moon roof should not be used with a roof rack installed. Roof racks do have some wind noise which the aero style bars, although cause less noise, are not immune from. There is also the issue of clearance as well as possible...

  • What 2 Bike Hanging Hitch Racks Will Hold Two 38 Pound Bikes on a 2009 Toyota Higlander
    The Thule Helium # TH9042PRO has a maximum bike weight of 35 pounds. I would not recommend using two 38 pound bikes with this rack. It would void the warranty on the rack and you could risk losing the bikes. If you write back with the size and class rating of the hitch on your Highlander, I will check to see if we have any bike racks available that will hold the weight of your bikes.

  • Will the Kuat Beta Bike Rack Clear the Spare Tire on a 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe?
    Hey Alan, thanks for reaching out! According to Kuat, the Kuat Beta Bike Rack # B202-114 alone won't be long enough to clear the spare tire, but I've got some alternatives I'd like to tell you about: What I recommend doing is getting the RockyMounts Hitch Extender LS w/ Hitch Pin and Lock # RKY10011 and using that with the Kuat Beta # B202-2 designed for 2" hitches so that you get an extra 8" of clearance to your spare tire. Both RockyMounts and Kuat will say not to use this combination...

  • What Bike Racks do You Have for My Kids Low Entry Bike for the Hitch on the Back of My Car?
    Hello Sharon, We have some options for you, but I don't see that Swagman has a good one for a kids entry level bike. Here are some options that I do recommend: - Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel or Frame Mount # B54FR - Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting # B202-2 Both options are for a 2" hitch. I really like the Benton bike rack, I have used it quite a bit and it is very user friendly. It has adjustable cradles which is why it will...

  • Do I Need a Hitch Extender to Use on the Kuat Beta on My 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
    When considering the rear bumper and spare tire clearance when using the Kuat Beta - Aluminum Folding 2 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # B202-2, it truly depends on two different factors: where your hitch installs on your Wrangler and the width of your spare tire. On the Beta, since the distance from the center pinhole of the upright of the rack measures 7-1/2 inches long, that is the length that determines if you need a hitch extender. If, for example, you have a hitch installed like...

  • Cable Lock Recommendation for a Kuat Beta 2.0 Bike Rack
    For your Kuat Beta bike rack # B202-2 the easiest solution to lock the bikes to the rack and to the hitch is to use a cable lock such as # e98891. Run the cable through the bikes and the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch to deter theft. I have linked a video review of the cable lock for you.

  • Best 2-Bike Hanging Style Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 2022 Acura RDX
    Excellent choices! Both bike racks will hold up and perform really well so when it comes down to it I would have to say that the Yakima RidgeBack # Y02457 would be the best for ease of use since the anti-rattle and locking knob are built into each other and the tilting/folding features are all activated by levers whereas the Kuat Beta uses some levers as well as some pins. Where the Beta edges out the RidgeBack is when you physically need to move and store the rack. It comes in at a mere...

  • Locking Hitch Pin Needed For A Kuat Beta Bike Rack
    Hey Craig, To secure your Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # B202-2 to the trailer hitch receiver you'll need the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL2. If you have the 1-1/4" shank Beta then you'll need the # HL1 instead.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6
    For your 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6, I recommend going with the Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # B202-2. This bike rack has a maximum carrying capacity of 2 bikes for a total of 80-lbs, has a tilting function that'll easily clear the spoiler on your Hyundai, and will accept bikes that have frame diameter of 3".

  • How to Lock Bikes to Kuat Beta Bike Rack B202-2
    To lock your bikes to your vehicle when using the Kuat Beta part # B202-2 that you referenced you'd want to use a cable lock like the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. You'd want to route the cable through the bike frames and then back to through the safety chain loop of the trailer hitch.

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack
    Kuat offers two different hitch locks, the # HL1 for the # B202-114 Beta that's designed for the 1-1/4 inch receiver and the # HL2 lock that's designed for the # B202-2 Beta rack that's designed for the 2 inch receiver. If the correct lock is used for the correct rack, no alterations of any kind will be necessary (we don't recommend altering the rack in any way, as it will compromise your warranty protection.)

  • Does the Kuat Beta Bike Rack Use the Wedge or Ball Type of Anti-Rattle
    The Kuat Beta # B202-2 uses the wedge style of anti-rattle. When you turn the knob at the end of the rack the wedge pushes out to reduce or eliminate movement of the rack in the hitch. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. This particular bike rack only fits 2 inch trailer hitch receivers.

  • Recommended Hitch Lock For Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack W/ 1-1/4" Shank
    The hitch lock I recommend for your Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack # B202-114 you have is the Kuat # HL1. At this time this is the only hitch lock available, as your bike rack uses a 3/8" hitch pin instead of a 1/2" hitch pin like most 1-1/4" bike racks. This will completely replace the pin included with your bike rack, and will not use a pin as it will use the lock to keep the pin from coming out of the bike rack. To lock the bikes to your rack I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891 to...

  • Can the Kuat Beta Carry 1 E-Bike That Weighs 50-lbs
    I have a solution for you to carry a heavy e-bike, but the Kuat Beta # B202-2 is not designed to carry heavy e-bikes. The Kuat Beta for 2" Hitches # B202-2 is rated to carry 80-lbs, but that is designed to be distributed across the arms of the rack differently. There are bike racks designed specifically to carry heavy e-bikes, but the Beta is not one of them. Your best bet for a high quality bike rack that's rated to carry a heavy e-bike and that also won't break the bank is the Saris...

  • Towing a Boler Travel Trailer and Carrying Bikes at the Same Time
    To be able to tow your Boler travel trailer and carry bikes at the same time I recommend the Curt multipurpose ball mount # D210. I have linked a video review for you. The top receiver portion accepts a 2 inch accessory and has a 350 pound tongue weight capacity. The whole ball mount is rated for 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight. So the combined weight of the loaded bike rack and the trailer's tongue weight cannot exceed 750 pounds. The Roadmaster high/low...

  • 2019 Toyota RAV4 Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing and a Bike Rack
    I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR for your 2019 Toyota RAV4 because it has a matte black finish that not only looks better but also has a more durable finish than the classic glossy black finish we see on all of the other trailer hitches. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it can easily be used for towing a trailer or hauling a bike rack. If you're wanting to do both at the same time then I recommend checking out the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/...

  • Easy to Install/Remove Bike Rack for a 2017 Lexus NX
    We have a few options for your 2017 Lexus NX (300h or Turbo) but when it comes to something that's easy to install and remove I recommend going with a hitch mount bike rack. There are some trunk mount options like the Saris Bones EX # SAR83FR but you have to install it each time you go to use it and it will be a little trickier to install than a hitch mount rack. If you don't already have a trailer hitch I recommend picking up the etrailer # e89AR because it has a matte black finish that...

  • Will Saris Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
    Great question! The Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL has been confirmed by Saris to fit your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. The only note they have about the installation though is to make sure the lower feet are placed into the license plate well as opposed to on your bumper. With that being said, trunk mount bike racks can damage spoilers if they are loaded to their max and/or used a lot. Since these types of racks are also touching the paint on the body of your vehicle I tend to lean towards...

  • Will Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack Work with Full Suspension Mountain Bikes
    The Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack # B202-2 referenced in your question is a really nice hanging-style rack that will hold the bikes by their top tube. Depending on the style of your full suspension mountain bikes, you may just need to add an adapter bar # UB01 if the suspension components are directly beneath the top frame. This will be the case with any hanging-style rack. The adapter bar will provide an additional horizontal attachment point on the bike for the rack arms to grab on to. The...

This has a 2" receiver so it's compatible with a wide variety of accessories and another positive is that this has the hidden cross tube so you're just seeing the receiver for a cleaner look.

  • Will Trunk Mount Bike Rack Damage Spoiler on 2021 Volvo XC90
    Definitely justifiable reasoning on your end, and one of the reasons why people like to use a hitch mounted bike rack - because it doesn't make any contact with their vehicle and there isn't the potential for the straps to cause wear and tear on the spoiler. With that being said, trunk mount racks are still a viable option and really as long as you don't keep the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637 constantly installed on your 2021 Volvo XC90 and you don't overload the bike rack you should...
