Bottom line
The Küat Beta is deemed ‘best-in-class for hanging hitch-mount racks’, by a renowned mountain bike magazine. A number of owners recommend it. An innovative cam lock reduces wobble, along with two threaded knobs. Users will need an adapter for step-through bikes. Bikes with a small main triangle may not be compatible. At 14 lb, its low weight impresses. Testers point out that it isn’t as versatile as a tray rack, but that goes for all hanging hitch-mount racks. The Küat Beta folds down for rear door access and collapses for compact storage.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
