TRIO Mount

I did not dislike anything everything was easy to use the instructions were easy to follow it came with all the tool you need to install the rack the design is ready nice well made definitely recommend this product I did get a rear extension on the strap for my bike because of my rims are to tall I took my bike for a fitting on New York and it was windy and the bike did not move for nothing I was pleased with this decision on buying this rack and the owner of the trek store we’re j get my bike serviced recommend this rack as he also has the rack also remember to check your thru axle size because it come with three size but my trek Madone use 12mm so I did purchase the trio fork adapter 12x100mm and bang it fit perfectly with my 12mm thru axle with no problem so I hope this review help you guys decide

Looks OK, works, but coming from a hassle-free system, this is not what I was hoping for.The problem I have is that I use my car a lot. I use my one bike a good deal, too. I never even thought that the supplied Trio skewer would be the biggest pain in the rear, but it's just not a finished idea yet.Does the skewer hold the bike secure? Yes - very well so far. And the minor adjustment of the plastic cone-shaped barrel was nice the first time I fitted the skewer to the particular bike I train on the most.The problem is - when there is no bike locked in the skewer, one is expected to turn the fine-tuning barrel-nut all the way in one direction to be able to prevent the skewer level from flopping around in the wind, during turns with the car, etc. And guess what you get to do again the next day? Unscrew it, try to see if the bike fits, unscrew it some more, fit the bike, fine-tune the barrel adjuster, test-close the lever, tune the barrel maybe again... finally go on your ride, get back to the car, mount bike, go home, take bike off, and now twist the barrel adjuster all the way in one direction, losing your perfect tightness setting of the lever that you had, just so that you can drive around without it making a lot of noise and generally prematurely placing wear upon itself.I use the same car to visit clients - sometimes up to ten clients (or more) in a day, so a flopping skewer lever isn't called for.The rack is probably absolutely great for through-axle bikes (save for it not having any 'rest' or fork-stop to prevent the forks from hitting your roof), or the occasional cyclist, but it's not a serious cyclist's best option. With a few updates, such as a refined skewer and a fork-stop, it could be a nice rack.

This thing is solid. Well made - all powder coated metal. No plastic. Fits thru axles and forks - thank you for making it easy Kuat. It looks damn good too.

Although I'm a fan of the Thule sidearm racks, I have both roof and hitch mount versions on my Honda Element, I wanted something less bulky looking for the roof of my car that didn't need adapters/spacers for QR15 forks. I gave the Kuat a shot, and I like it! I've only used it for my QR15 bike, and attaching the fork to the rack is the same process as installing your front wheel, just drop the fork onto the skewer tube, and install the axle from your bike, strap the rear wheel, and done! It seems well made, and the lock cable in the rear of the tray is a nice touch but is the "keep honest people honest" type so use a more substantial lock along with this one.

Works as designed to, no issues.

I didn't see in the description whether or not the 20mm axle adapter was included. I took a chance and ordered anyways and the axle adapter was included along with many others. I am very happy with this product. It is very sturdy and seems like it is built to last. The integrated cable lock system is fantastic and easy to use. If you are worried about it looking goofy sitting on top of you vehicle than worry not, I barely notice the rack when it's sans bike.

used this rack twice and it broke, doesn't fit on my Acura properly, will be sending it back to Kuat. disappointing.

I love this thing! The integrated cable is makes me feel so much more secure when I make a quick pit stop. Great quality and very solid!

I was sent either an ex-display model or one that had been returned previously. There was dust all over the product and a gash on the front bolt entry point. The product fits and functions so it gets 2 stars, but a lot of money for a used piece of kit.
