Kuat Piston SR Roof 1 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge- Video
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, we have the Kuat Piston SR Roof-Mounted Bike Rack. We're gonna take a look at how this bike rack fits our 2022 Ford Edge.

So if you already have a roof rack, you can put this onto your roof rack, it works with most rack systems, and then it has a unique dual wheel mounted design that makes it technically easier to carry around a bike on your roof. We're gonna talk about that, but we're also gonna focus on our Ford Edge here today. We'll talk about things like how high you have to reach to get to your bike, what types of bikes this can carry, and why you might consider this as an option. more
