Piston SR open

Küat has expanded its new Piston Pro X and is launching a simplified, single-tray version, the Piston SR.

Küat, the designer of premium and lightweight bike, ski, and kayak racks, is launching the Piston SR (single rail) bike rack. Küat’s Piston SR is built around a fast load with the OneTap hydro-pneumatic tire arms that ensure no contact on the bike frame. It’s a single tray solution that can mount almost anywhere. Whether adding an additional rider or a minimalist who wants to carry a single bike streamline to your rig, this is an easy-to-carry rack while enjoying the durability and innovative components that Küat offers.

Note: Though the rear hitch mount setup is shown, the initial release will be a roof rack system. A Hitch Mount Adapter will be released soon.

“We are always working on extending our products, and the Piston SR was a natural evolution and innovation to our Piston product family. We are eager to show this single rail to the Overlanding customer as well as meet our current customers’ needs.” Luke Kuschmeder, founder and CEO of Küat.
