Review by Will L
I bought this rack to replace my Kuat NV 2.0. There was nothing wrong with my NV 2.0 I wanted a rack that didn't touch any part of the bike frame. I found the Piston Pro X and decided to buy it since it was on sale. This rack is a bit pricey but it's well worth the price. It's a high quality rack and it looks great. It has built in LED lights which is a great feature if you travel a lot with your bikes like we do. The rack also comes with a lock cable that is very thick and strong to lock your bikes to the rack while traveling. The rack is very sturdy and has no lateral movement while driving. It is very easy to load/unload the bikes The bikes sit in the trays and the wheel brackets lock into place ensuring the bikes don't move. I will definitely recommend this rack.

Big improvement of past iterations of the NV and BikeTiresDirect processed the order super efficiently!
Installation of tray arms onto the I-beam is far easier
Staggered trays make fitting two bikes facing in opposite directions easier (bikes can also face in the same direction)
Wheel arms are a much better design (well built and easy to adjust size with no tools) than old front arm and rear strap
LEDs on the back trays and included wiring harness to work with braking/signaling are a nice addition
"Security lock" is improved though I still never leave bikes unattended when parked
