Kuat Piston SR Roof 1 Bike Rack Review - 2022 GMC Sierra 1500- Video

Kuat Piston SR Roof 1 Bike Rack Review - 2022 GMC Sierra 1500

How's it going everyone It's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat Piston SR Rooftop Bike Rack on our 2022 GMC Sierra. So this is the type of bike rack you might wanna use if your bed is full, or if you have some sort of crossbar set up and you don't wanna use them in the back and you already have something in your hitch, it's a good way to get a bike to where you're going and still have room for other things. This roof rack holds onto your bike by two wheel mounts, a dual wheel mount on either tire, which is nice because we have a carbon frame bike here, and it doesn't make any contact with the frame of the bike itself which could potentially damage the frame. Additionally, this does support a weight of up to 67 pounds, so if you have a larger bike or an e-bike you could actually transport it on your roof. That being said, getting it on and off the roof on a taller vehicle like this has already proved to be a challenge with a lighter bike. more

This roof bike rack holds onto our bike through primarily this wheel hook. It does have a lock core on the hook itself, so we can lock the hook to the bike. more

How's it going, everyone It's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack on our 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. This could be a good option for you if you're just trying to get one bike rack where you need it to go, but maybe you have something in your trailer already, or your bed's too full to use a tailgate pad, and this could be a good option if you have a roof rack system. It doesn't take up a ton of space on the bars so this could be a good option for you if that's your situation. This bike rack is nice because it doesn't make any frame contact with your actual bike, so if you we're using a carbon frame bike or an alternative frame, it would still work fine for that. The weight capacity is 45 pounds, and it does accommodate a wheelbase of up to 48 inches, so as long as your bike falls within those parameters. more
