The adapter also includes a locking hitch pin to keep the rack safe. Priced at $110, you\u2019ll also have to purchase the Piston SR for $498, for a total of $608. That\u2019s a lot for a single bike rack, but it does give you both a hitch rack and roof rack option. No LED lights though. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-long_content\"\/><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-640x360-999995-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-640x360-999995-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-426x240-999995-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-426x240-999995-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-384x216-999995-clearholder --><!-- ezoic_video_placeholder-long_content-384x216-999995-nonexxxclearxxxblock --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"319036\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"Round Bar adapters for 2&quot; bars\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-319036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-297x167.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-400x225.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"319036\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"Round Bar adapters for 2&quot; bars\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-319036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-297x167.jpeg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large-400x225.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3U3A1853-hero-Large.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-kuat-2-round-bar-adapter\">Kuat 2\u2033 Round Bar Adapter<\/h2>\n<p>In other Piston SR news, Kuat has also introduced a 2-inch round bar mount.
