Question:

Is it strong. Looking for a Bike Rack that can travel 75mph for 2000miles. On a 1 1/4 hitch. Does it have warranty. Thanks

The Kuat Beta would be an excellent choice for long highway trips. It is made of aluminum so it is light weight and strong so it will not be hard on your hitch. It is also compatible with your 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. Additionally, Kuat has top-of-the-line quality products.

Please note, the bike rack can support up to 100 pounds worth of bikes. Check your hitch and vehicle owner manual to find out what your tongue weight capacity is. Use whichever figure is lower and make sure the weight of the Beta rack and the bikes on them is less than that figure.
