6 reasons to buy

  • Owners appreciate the simple installation.
  • Experts say loading bikes is easy.
  • Bikes remain stable in transit, according to testers.
  • At just 7lb, the TRIO is very light for a roof rack.
  • The TRIO comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Owners of some vehicles with hatch-style trunk doors find the rack blocks the door from opening fully.

Bottom line

Küat's TRIO is a lightweight roof rack that supports one 45lb bike. Mounting a bike requires removing the front wheel, but adapters are available for all common fork standards. The TRIO fits most factory and aftermarket crossbars and supports wheelbases up to 50" and tires up to 3" (5" with the fat tire kit). The rack's low weight and ease of use win praise, but it blocks some hatchback trunk doors from opening fully. The rack doesn't lock to crossbars, though a special tool is required for installation and removal. Overall, experts deem the versatile Küat TRIO good value.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less.

It is secure, durable, easy to use, and it will fit on the vast majority of cross bars. All of these attributes make it the most highly regarded fork-mount roof rack we’ve used.
