Pivot XD Swing Away Extension

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I upgraded to the Pivot XD Swing Away Extension from a standard hitch extender, and the difference in confidence is immediate. The 350 lb capacity handles a full load of bikes and gear without any sway, and the forged latch paired with the Flatlock Hitch Cam keeps everything locked down and rattle-free on rough access roads. The 120-degree swing is the feature I use every single time at the trailhead."

Getting to the trailhead is half the adventure, and the right hitch setup makes it feel seamless rather than stressful. The Kuat Pivot XD Swing Away Extension is the heavy-duty evolution of the proven Pivot V2, built for haulers who carry more, go further on rougher roads, and need rear vehicle access without unloading the whole setup every time they stop.

A 350 lb maximum weight capacity represents a substantial step up from the V2, giving confident clearance for multiple bikes, heavy cargo systems, or the kind of loaded-out setups that serious overlanding and trail missions demand. The conical ball bearing pivot creates a smooth, controlled swing in both 90 and 120-degree positions, while the precision-forged latch locks everything down with exceptional rigidity under full load. The Flatlock Hitch Cam system eliminates play between the Pivot XD Swing Away Extension and the receiver, and the included locking hitch pin adds a layer of security that keeps the whole assembly tight and rattle-free from the driveway to the dirt. Built to accept Kuat's Accessory Molle Hoop and Spare Tire Adapter, the Pivot XD Swing Away Extension is designed to grow into a complete rear vehicle system for whatever the adventure demands.
