BETA FAQs

Will the Beta work with my step-through frame?

The Beta will work with step-through bikes but not natively, and a top tube adapter will be needed. We have our U-bar top tube adapter for such scenarios.
Why do my straps look different than the ones you have shown in the photos?

There are a couple of different versions of the Beta. The older versions used rubber straps with holes to secure the bike, and the newer versions utilize ratcheting straps.
Is there a lock for the hitch pin on the Beta?

The Beta does not come with a locking hitch pin, but one can be purchased through our website here.
Is there a way to lock my bikes to the Beta?

The Beta does not come with a cable lock or any form of integrated cable lock. However, you can get a Locking Hitch Pin and a Double-Looped Cable to work together to secure your bikes to the rack.

Is the Beta suitable for Carbon bikes?

Yes, however, you should take some precautions due to potential pressure on the bike frame, such as adding protective padding or a top tube adapter to minimize risk. You could also consider any of Kuat’s platform racks like the Piston Pro X, NV 2.0, Sherpa 2.0, or Transfer v2 for safer transport.  These platform racks do not make any contact with the bike frame.
Is there a 3-bike version of the Beta?

The Beta does not have a 3-bike version.
