"What Our GearheadĀ® Experts Are Saying:""I ran the Pivot V3 Swing Away Extension on a loaded four-bike setup for a week of trail riding and it performed exactly how you want it to. The cam-action handle is smooth and genuinely one-handed even with gloves on, and the two locking positions gave us full clearance on a van with wide rear doors. No wobble, no noise, no fuss.""Pulling up to the trailhead fully loaded is one thing. Getting into the back of the vehicle without unloading every bike first is another thing entirely. The Kuat Pivot V3 Swing Away Extension solves that problem with a re-engineered pivot mechanism that swings your entire rack out of the way on demand, giving you full access to the hatch or tailgate without disconnecting a single bike. The passenger-side swing keeps everything moving toward the curb and away from traffic, which matters when you are unloading in a busy parking area or on a tight shoulder. The Flat-Lock Cam System expands inside the receiver to eliminate wobble and road noise entirely, and the oversized cam-action handle operates cleanly with one hand even when you are juggling gear or wearing gloves. Two locking positions at 90 and 120 degrees mean even wide van doors and full-size tailgates swing open without obstruction. At a 250 lb weight capacity, the Pivot V3 handles heavy four-bike setups and loaded e-bike configurations without hesitation. A proprietary Sandy Black powder coat resists scratches, UV, and corrosion better than standard gloss finishes, and the included locking hitch pin keeps everything secured to the vehicle between stops."
