Will A 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Accommodate The Kuat Beta Bike Rack
Question:
I have a 2018 Mercedes GLE350 equipped with a 1 1/4 trailer hitch. Will it accommodate a Kuat Beta two-bike rack?

Expert Reply:
There are two different Kuat Beta's, we have one with the Folding 2 Bike Aluminum Rack for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # B202-114 which has a Rack weight of 12.6 lbs and has a maximum bike capacity of 80 lbs. This rack will easily fit on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 with a 1-1/4" hitch with no issues.
However if you are attempting to put the Kuat Beta Folding 2 Bike Rack for 2" hitches # B202-2 on a 1-1/4" hitch, you will need a hitch adapter # HTAD. When using a hitch adapter, the tongue weight capacity of hitch will be reduced by 50%.
