Video Transcript for Kuat Piston Bike Rack Fender Straps Review

Hey, everyone. It's Evngeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Kuat Fender Straps for your Piston Bike Racks. We have the Kuat Piston Pro here on our hitch receiver with a bike with fenders. I'll show you how to install this, so you have extra security. So, with this kit you do get two hook and loop straps, but this is a kit for a single bike. So, if you have two bicycles with fenders and you wanna carry them at the same time, you are gonna have to get this kit in a quantity of two.

When loading your bike for the front wheel mount, continue as usual. Set the height to the size of your front wheel, and get as close to the top of the wheel and the end of the fender as you can get. For the rear wheel mount, adjust the holder to the bottom rung, which is going to be your fender kit rung. And then, that goes up against your wheel. Setting that mount lower allows you to dodge the fender and get in contact with your bike's tire, but you do have slightly less stability than if you we're on top of the tire.

So, we're gonna make some connection points at the back, as well as the bottom of the wheel. With our hook and loop strap, we're going to go over the rung, around the wheel, and then come up diagonally underneath your mount. And then, just put your hook and loop strap through, and tighten it down. Same concept for the bottom part of your wheel. Strap goes around and into the buckle and is secured, applying downward pressure on your bike's tires.

And just like that, you're able to add some extra stability to your bike with fenders. It really is just pulling it back, as well as pulling it down, so you can feel safer driving around on the road. We are using this with a Piston Pro X. We can also use this with a Piston SR, the adapter version. Basically, your Kuat Piston series.

You we're able to see the fender strap adapter kit here at etrailer.

Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack - Qty 2 - KU43VR

Average Customer Rating:  4.4 out of 5 stars   (16 Customer Reviews)

These fender straps secure your bike with fenders onto your Kuat Piston Pro X bike rack.

by:

The straps are not worth the high price. We had one come apart the first time we used it. The glue supporting the buckle came apart.



by:

Work great. Just a bit more security with the e-bike fenders!



by:

5 stars for the product being as expected. 1 star deduction because [online store] sells similar straps (1”x18” with plastic d-ring) in a 12-pack for only $x. etrailer is selling a Kuat-branded product though, so there’s that.

We have a lowest price pledge that I will attach. As long as the product is the same brand and style.

Nice quality, but a bit pricey for 2 Velcro straps...

Everything was delivered as advertised! I couldn’t be happier.

This will do the trick!

  • Does Euphree City Robin X Work on Kuat Piston Pro without Adapter Straps
    The front fender of your Euphree City Robin X is small enough to allow the Kuat Piston Pro part # KU76ZR to work without the strap but if you have the rear fender/rack on the bike the rear wheel attachment would require the strap part # KU43VR. If you don't have the rear fender setup then you'd be fine.

  • Parts Needed to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack on 2023 Buick Envision
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94NR is a great choice for carrying the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR on your 2023 Buick Envision. This bike rack does feature lights on the outer part of the frame that I recommend utilizing so you'll also want to install the T-Connector Wiring Kit # C56325 and mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 for that feature. The Piston Pro X features other accessories like the Fender Straps # KU43VR that allow you to carry bikes with fenders or the Loading...

  • Do You Have to Have 4-Way to Use Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack
    Good question, and it is not a necessity for your car to have a 4-way flat trailer connector in order to use the Kuat Piston Pro X bike racks. The 4-way connector that plugs in between the bike rack and the 4-way on your car (if you had one) comes separately in a parts bag, so it is not actually attached to the rack. I have added a photo for you which shows where you'd plug it in so you can see it is not connected to the rack. So you definitely do not have to use a 4-way with the rack...

  • Can Kuat Piston Pro X 4-Bike Rack be Used With Bikes That Have Fenders
    Yes, you can use bike with fenders on the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # KU45VR. All you'll need to do is use wrap straps around the tire and ratcheting arm with the Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU43VR. Using those straps will protect the fenders from coming into contact with the rack's arm. If your bikes are heavier and you want some help lifting them on the rack, there is also an option for a ramp with the Loading Ramp for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU63VR.

  • Best Bike Rack For QuietKat Ranger Ebike & Trek Ebike With Fenders
    Glad you asked because while we do have an option for you, the Kuat Piston Pro # KU98VR is not a good choice for your QuietKat Ranger ebike. Reason for that is the rear pannier rack on the Ranger would require you to use the Piston Pro's Fender Straps # KU43VR, and those straps only work on bikes with wheelbases up to 45 inches. Your Ranger has a longer wheelbase, so you'd need a different rack, and the best one for your bikes is the Thule EasyFold XT, and you'd also need to add its longer...

  • Gazelle C380 E-Bike Compatibility With Kuat Bike Racks
    The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is my favorite bike rack for styling and simplicity of use. Best of all it can be used with your Gazelle C380 e-bike even with you having the rear fender that nearly covers the entire rear tire. The Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU43VR allow you to secure the bike safely in the rack. The Loading Ramp # KU63VR will make loading your heavy bike much easier.
