Description

Loading our 3 or 4-bike hitch rack is so easy you can do it with one hand. Simply hit the OneTap™ Piston levers and watch as the cradle arms open automatically into position.

The FastFit™ Wheel Chock feature allows you to change the hitch rack on the fly to hold wheels from 18” to 29” in seconds, tool-free. Of course, these Add-Ons have some of the same amazing features as the 2-bike Piston Pro X hitch rack.

Features like no contact on the bike frame, all-metal construction, semi-integrated cable locks, and bombproof materials like Genuine Kashima-coated struts and Tiger Drylac® powder coating. All features are designed to ensure your hitch rack not only functions flawlessly for years but drops jaws the whole time, too.

Transporting heavier electric bikes? Our Piston Pro X 3-bike hitch rack will hold up to 50 pounds per tray and our Piston Pro X 4-bike hitch rack will hold up to 40 pounds per tray. We even have an e-bike ramp to make loading and unloading your electric bike a breeze. Expand your vehicle’s carrying capacity (and your circle of friends) with help from the Piston Pro X Add-Ons.
