4 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers say the flap for the tailgate latch and camera on full-length HUKs sits awkwardly when folded and gets in the way of the bike position above.
- The bike straps aren’t sewn into the pad, making them easier to misplace.
- As with most tailgate pads, the HUK lacks security features, so bikes shouldn’t be left unattended.
- The HUK is expensive for a tailgate pad.
Bottom line
Küat’s HUK is a tailgate pad that fits two, five, or six bikes. It comes in four lengths: 25”, 51”, 54”, and 61” for straight tailgates. The 61” HUK also comes in a version for curved tailgates. Küat’s fit guide helps simplify size selection. Short-term testers (up to six months) praise the HUK for its durability, easy installation, and protective soft inner lining. Mounted bikes remain secure, but the included straps may be too short for e-bikes with down tube-integrated batteries. Complaints are mostly minor. Though expensive for a tailgate pad, experts consider the Küat HUK worth the investment.BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy.
