We Can’t Wait for the Küat Piston Pro X

It’s not often that we see a truly innovative new bike rack enter the market, but the new Piston™ Pro X from Küat will do just that. Scheduled to launch this coming spring 2022, the Piston Pro X has some impressive new features that will certainly make it one of our potential top gear picks for the year. This past week the new rack earned even more accolades when it won big at the Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards in Denver, CO. The rack was among 14 other products or services selected by an independent judging panel for their overall innovation and achievement in outdoor product and program development. They represent gear and programs from across all seasons and were scored based on original design, function, impact, and inspiring attributes.
