Video Transcript for Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks: The Breakdown

Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Locking Hitch Pin for your inch and a quarter bike racks. This is going to be a replacement locking pin for your bike racks on inch and a quarter hitches. You can see here this is the standard pin that comes with some of their bike racks that we'd be replacing, and the new one is just going to be a locking pin, same diameter pin just with a lock core on the other end. Let's check it out. So I'll talk about the lock a little bit more out here before we put it on because it's gonna be hard to see down there.

But overall, the function of this lock is really nice. It's got a cap on the top here to just keep the locking core all protected. It snaps into place and it fits pretty firmly. The lock itself is very smooth to insert and turn to disengage, pops right off. And the nice thing about this that I always look for in a lock is if it's a push to lock.

So I can just push it in place, I'll hear it click, and then it's locked in. So I don't have to worry about keeping the key inserted, holding it in place, and then turning it to lock it whenever I'm all under my car. One thing I will say about this is that the fitting point here is a little bit loose just because this is a very small pin. But I have messed with this quite a bit off-camera and really tried to find if there's a weak point here, and I haven't found any point where it feels like it's going to pop loose. Despite that movement in there, it feels like the pin is held in place very securely, so I'm not too concerned about that.

The other nice thing I like about it is the fact that the locking core here is on the side. So when the pin is through, the locking core is going to face us, rather than being out to the side like this. That just helps with getting access to it when it's under our vehicle. And if you have a hitch that's really far-recessed or maybe has some other clearance issues, then you don't have to worry about it as much interfering with things because it doesn't stick out as far. Underneath, we can pass the pin through the hitch pin hole, pop that lock core on the other side, it's already locked in place.

And then at this point, you can tighten up your bike rack and get it all secured. And that's really all there is to it. Overall, it's a locking pin. It says what it's gonna do. And I think at the end of the day, it's going to be a big upgrade over the standard pinning clip that comes with your bike rack, and it's gonna be a lot more secure. When it comes to locking pins, there's not really much to look for besides a nice secure fit and ease of use, and I think Kuat really did a good job with this one. It's easy to use, it's got a secure fit, and I'm not worried about it when I'm leaving my bike rack on my vehicle. Thanks for watching.

  • How To Carry 4 Bikes On A 2008 Mazda 5
    I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I...

  • Will 50 Wheelbase Electric Mountain Bike Fit on Kuat Transfer V2 1-Bike Rack
    Since the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR can handle up to a 60 lb bike with a max wheelbase of 50" and since your Santa Cruz falls within these specs (even though the wheelbase is at max) it will be a great option for you! The Transfer V2 comes with a cable lock but if you want to lock the rack to your hitch receiver you'll also need the locking hitch pin part # HL1. Attached is a review video of this rack for you to check out.

  • Locking Hitch Pin Needed For The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers
    Hey Jeff, The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV12B has a proprietary hitch pin diameter so you'd only be able to use the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 1-1/4" Hitches # HL1. Since this isn't really the durability you're looking for I recommend running a cable lock through the rack and then through the safety chain loop on the trailer hitch to prevent theft.

  • Hitch Lock for a Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 and 2 Hitches
    That is correct, the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks # HLT does not work with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU74FR because of the built-in anti-rattle system the V2 has. Instead you would need a Kuat hitch lock without a threaded pin. - Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL1

  • 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 Lightweight Bicycle Rack for 2018 Mustang
    We've got exactly what you're looking for! I'd recommend the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. The rack weighs about 27 lbs. but is very tough due to its aluminum construction. The light weight will make moving the rack around and installation pretty close to effortless. The price also fits nicely into your stated budget. Once the bikes are removed, the carrier can be tilted rearward to allow easy access to the cargo area of your vehicle. A Locking hitch pin is available separately as...

  • Hitch Locks That Fit Kuat Beta Bike Racks
    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. So it depends on which Beta version you have.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL
    After installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94WR onto your 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL and installing the Kuat Transfer Bike Rack # KU64FR for extra security I would also purchase the Hitch Lock # HLT. This lock also has an anti rattle device that will help reduce the noise when you're hauling your bikes around on the Kuat bike rack. The lock comes with 3 round keys. The # HL1 is for 1-1/4 inch hitches and will not work with your 2 inch hitch mentioned above. If you ever plan on towing...

  • Comparison of the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike VS. Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 1 Bike
    When choosing between the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR and the Inno Tire Hold # INH110, there are a few differences to consider. While both racks have a weight capacity of 60 pounds, the Transfer V2 has a slightly larger bike compatibility range than the Tire Hold. It is compatible with tire diameters of 18-29 inches and wheelbases up to 50 inches long while the Tire Hold is compatible with 20-29 inch tire diameters and wheelbases up to 48 inches long. Another difference is the weight of the...

  • Best Trailer Hitch To Carry Bike Rack On 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback
    The best hitch for carrying a bike rack on a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback without center exhaust is the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C92UR because it provides 2 more inches of ground clearance compared to the other option. The Curt provides about 11 inches of ground clearance, so the bike rack is less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations like backing down a hill. It is also a concealed cross tube design so you will not see the bulky cross tube on the...

  • Hitch Extender for Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Mini Cooper S R53
    For your application we have the 6" Brophy Extension # HES6 or the 10" Brophy Extension # HES0. These will move the hitch pin hole of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11126 on your 2006 Mini Copper further out to make it easier to install your bike rack. I do recommend using an anti-rattle device like the Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 to help reduce any play in the hitch receiver. You can then use a pin and clip # PC2 or a locking hitch pin # e98879 to secure and leave the extension installed on your...

    I checked out the OEM roof rack for your 2017 Subaru Impreza that you inquired about and it doesn't quite look like any of the roof racks that we have to offer. Typically OEM roof racks will get the job done, but going with a brand like Thule or Yakima will last much longer due to the quality of the work. With that being said, the most cost effective roof rack that we currently have to offer for your Impreza is the Inno square bar roof rack which consists of the Crossbars # INB127, Inno...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack on a 2018 Mini Countryman
    The only trailer hitch that is currently available for your 2018 Mini Countryman is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 which is a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. Even though it is the only fit at this time it is still a great trailer hitch that has a very clean look once installed due to the crossbeam being hidden behind the bumper (see attached photo). Please note that since this is a Class I trailer hitch you are limited to a 2 bike rack and that per the Curt warranty...

  • Compatibility of Kuat Beta 2 Bike Carrier Part # B202-114 with Class I Hitch on 2008 Civic EX Coupe
    The Kuat Beta, part # B202-114 would be an outstanding choice for your Civic EX Coupe. Due to the aluminum construction, the rack is very lightweight and easy to handle and provides a generous 100 lb weight capacity. I would also recommend the Kuat hitch lock, part # HL1 to protect your investment.

  • Is RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack Compatible With Class I Hitch
    According to the folks at RockyMounts, their # RKY10007 MonoRail bike rack isn't compatible with a Class I receiver hitch, which is what your 2018 Honda Accord uses. This being said, I do have a solution for you. I'd recommend the Kuat Transfer V2, part # KU64FR instead. Both racks are very similar, with both having the ability to tilt away from the vehicle for easier trunk access. The rack is compatible with Class I, II and III hitches, so it'll work perfectly with your Accord. Both racks...

  • Recommendation Between Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR and the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007
    Between the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR and the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007, the Kuat is the better rack for a few reasons. First off, the Transfer V2 has a 60-pound weight capacity compared to the 45-pound capacity of the Monorail. This is great if you have a heavier bike. Also, as far as compatibility, the Transfer V2 fits a larger range of bike tires diameters (between 18" - 29") and fits longer wheelbases (up to 50" long). Lastly, the Transfer V2 has a longer shank for bumper clearance....
