Rotating Arms with Ratcheting Wheel Hooks
The NV 2.0 has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel - not the frame. It's perfect for carrying carbon bikes or bikes with a custom paint job. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook.
Large Front Wheel Cradles
The front wheel cradles will easily accommodate fat bike wheels. They can also be adjusted to perfectly fit each bike's wheelbase. Use the included Allen key stored in the compartment at the back of the rack to adjust.
Sliding, Ratcheting Rear-Wheel Straps
Ratcheting rear-wheel straps slide along the wheel trays to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. Press the quick-release button on the strap buckle to remove your bikes. An extender strap is included for use with 1 fat bike. Additional extender straps (sold separately) are available if you have more than 1 fat bike.
Foot Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding
The spring-loaded foot lever is easily accessible even with your bikes loaded. No more crawling through your bikes or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to hit the tilt release lever.
The foot lever lets you tilt the rack down with bikes loaded for cargo area access. It leaves both hands free so that you can lower the rack in a controlled manner. When the rack is unloaded you can fold it up for storage.
Built-In Repair Stand
The Trail Doc is a handy repair stand that attaches to the front of the rack. It lets you position your bike as needed for adjustments, cleaning, and on-the-go repairs. It can also be locked into place to prevent theft and includes a cap for the housing if you prefer to use the rack without it.
A spring-loaded clamp grabs your bike by the seat post or top tube. It has a soft, rubber coating that won't scratch your bike's paint. The rotating clamp arm lets you adjust the angle of your bike and the locking collar secures your bike at the desired height.
Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device
The knob at the front of the shank lets you quickly and easily install the rack. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. The knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge inside the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. The locking hitch pin has an Allen tool on the end that further tightens the hand knob if you are still experiencing rattle after hand-tightening.
Complete Security for Bikes and Rack
The NV 2.0 includes integrated cable locks that lets you secure your bikes to the rack. A 1/4" thick, braided steel cable extends from each wheel tray, threads through your bike's frame, and locks back onto itself.
A locking hitch pin is also included to secure the rack to your vehicle. It's keyed alike with the cable lock so you only need 1 key for the rack.

This thing is built like a tank! It is of the best fit and funtion I have seen in a bike rack! Solid as can be, fits my bikes perfectly and looks awesome! Plus it folds completely out of the way to access the rear liftgate on my 2022 Rav4!
by: Cheryl08/25/2021
Great service from etrailer and the rack arrived as expected. Fairly easy assembly. OK video on Kuat’s site, but didn’t cover the foot pedal. Really glad we got the 2” hitch. It tightened up and we’re impressed with the quality and the stability of the rack. We haven’t done a road test yet, but look forward to putting it to the test. We have a Ford F-150 and it works great. The bikes were fairly easy to load with the batteries out and two people. We do need the strap extenders for our RadMini Step Thru’s. The tires are too big for the ones that come with. Only one set of extenders came with the bike and one adapter for a smaller tire. It’s okay, but since it’s a two bike unit, would have been nice to have both extenders. Otherwise, we are really liking the look and stability.

awesome! We still love this bike rack. We also use zip ties to secure the front tire. It just helps to decrease any remaining shimmy during travel. An Obsidian cover works well to cover both bikes in transit.
by: Marc04/19/2018
Rack arrived today. I will not lie, it is heavy and therefore cumbersome to assemble. Despite that, I was able to assemble and install it in just under one hour. I did this on my own, another person would have cut this time in half. The rack checks all the boxes of wants and needs. That same weight noted before makes it rock solid. The anti-rattle feature to tighten the hitch is wonderful. Handle/pedal to change from upright position to bike holding rack to tilt away from my Subaru 2010 Forester was incredibly simple and smooth. I was all set to buy the Thule T2 Pro XT 2 and a friend told me about this Kuat NV 2.0. I am so happy. I knew it was more expensive, but free shipping and price was discounted at checkout when I purchased it from etrailer.com. Great surprise. This rack is well thought out, has superb quality features, and I am convinced that I made the best choice. All things aside, it also really looks nice.

One-year later and still just as satisfied and just as impressed. Need a bike rack, this is the one you need. I am particular and particularly impressed.
by: Larry C.05/28/2017
Assembly was not as difficult as I expected. After watching some videos, the instructions do make sense. I also used the box with some of the foam packing to support the frame because, as suggested, it easier to put together"upside down". Once it's together it seems very solid and well made. Installing on my 2017 Hyundai Tucson Eco was simple and easy to do. Putting the bike on the rack was even easier and will make impromptu bike rides no problem when I'm by myself. In the pictures the bike was on the outside rack because I was demonstrating it to my friend who thankfully assisted me with the hitch installation.

Thanks for pointing this out, Larry! Whenever you carry less bikes than the rack calls for, you should start loading your bikes closest to the vehicle and work your way out to avoid stress on the rack and your vehicle frame.
by: Mark04/03/2024
My wife and I enjoy taking road trips and we have found that this bike rack, is a very sturdy and safe way for us to transport our bikes. We are more comfortable with this bike rack then we have with others we used. This rack is excellent.
by: John02/14/2024
This thing is rock solid. No teetering/swaying with bikes on it at all after you adjust the hitch tension knob. It also looks great if you care about that type of thing. Highly recommend getting the dock as well so you can mount it on the garage wall when not in use. Also two thumbs up to the etrailer staff who quickly replaced a small damaged part which was damaged while in transit with UPS/Fedex.
by: Geoff06/01/2018
Have used it on a 2015 Audi Q5 with an aftermarket Curt 2" hitch.
LOVE it! We were looking for the longest tongue that we could find so that when stored upright, it wouldn't hit the bumper.
With the advice of the etrailer phone rep...we got 4 place model which is what we ended up with..(we got the add-on)
Avid mountain bikers that love this setup. The model is very solid with 4 bikes! Also like how you can adjust the front wheel cradle so that the bars won't rub on other bars/seats. Heavy when you lower the rack "loaded" to open hatchback, but that's what you'll deal with when going with a setup that doesn't touch the frame which is what we want and need. Much nicer than the Thule/Yakima options that other friends have. A lot better looking too!! It does slightly block the tail lights so added some reflectors for those "distracted drivers" ;-)
Highly recommend and feel price is worth it.
by: Dano06/04/2021
I am very pleased with the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack. It was tough to swallow the price tag. However, looking back after purchasing more expensive bikes, and traveling several thousand miles with no issues, I can attest to the quality and durability of this product. For you Jeepers out there, you may need to extend your receiver hitch for proper clearance, depending upon the size of your tires and bikes. Just a tip.
by: Sean04/23/2021
About the Kuat NV 2.0: Buy a Kuat NV 2.0!!! Then, get the 2 Bike Add-On to carry 4 bikes. This is hands-down THE BEST rack on the market. I chose this rack after researching THULE, Saris, Yakima, and many, many others. The Kuat NV 2.0 has a professional car quality finish, is ROCK SOLID so the bikes do not move at all, has built in locks, a built in mechanic stand, and never touches your bikes. Do your research and you will arrive at the same conclusion: THERE IS NO BETTER RACK ON THE MARKET!!!
by: Timothy 08/20/2022
I have had this rack 1 year and I would buy it again. My wife had a hip replacement and it is so easy to get the bikes loaded and going down the road. We have travel probably 5 thousand miles using the Kuat and it is very secure going down the highway. It’s nice to know that a company builds a product that is built like a tank and performs so nice. I have also bought two Curt trailer hitches from trailer and they are top notch as well.

Very well and I am still very satisfied with your products. The Kuat is very simple to use and very secure. We use it a lot and it is great traveling from Michigan to Florida.
by: Ival10/03/2022
I have no bike rack envy ever!!!
This is the best and well thought out design
by: Bill12/24/2023
Overall very good design, well thought out and worth the money. The locking system is particularly well designed and functional and it's a clever way they have the unit fit tightly into the receiver on the car so it doesn't wobble around. The mechanism to adjust the angle also works perfectly. Only two issues I have with it: it's very heavy and assembly was a bit of chore without someone to help because it's hard to hold the pieces just so as you are fitting the bolts into place. That being said, I am happy with the purchase and if you can handle the weight, you should get one. If I could, I would give it 4 1/2 stars
by: Jon C.09/10/2019
I ordered the Kuat bike rack from etrailer.com because they had the best price. The bike rack came very quickly and it was exactly as described. Their customer service was excellent by keeping me up to date on my order. This is my 2nd purchase from etrailer and I will not hesitate to purchase again. Thanks etrailer!!
My recommendation on putting the rack together: Place the main support into your trailer hitch first, then put on all the trays and accessories. The Kuat instructions could be improved upon, but you can figure it out by looking at a picture of it fully assembled.
by: Dave M10/06/2017
I have a great rack! (actually my wife does) I have 5 or 6 friends that use this rack and grew weary of throwing my bike on top of the Outback. Additionally my wife has become interested in venturing off on her own and cannot put a bike on top her outback.
etrailer shipped promptly, and the product arrived in good shape, note: there were a few spots where the parts had jostled around in the box slightly and you could see some marring of the surface. This polished right out with a microfiber towel and mothers. There are a few minor nicks (I mean really minor) on the rack;but, they were there before being put in the factory packaging. Not enough to whine about just know the finish is great just not perfect.
Speaking of the finish the color matches my Outback perfectly, it actually looks like an OEM Subaru thing. Fit is good using the Hidden/Drawtite hitch clearing the hatch while tilted back easily even with 800mm bars. The locking Hitch pin that comes with the rack is 1/2" diameter instead of the normal 5/8", fortunately the hitch mentioned above has a smaller 1/2" about 12mm aft of the 5/8" hole. The hole in the rack is 5/8" but do to the snugging system on the Küat the mismatch I'd of no consequence.
Assembly is easy and someone with good mechanical aptitude should be able to do it in less than 10, an extra set of hands would be nice but aren't required. I built mine on an elevated bench and it was quick and super easy, admittedly I used power tools because I have them.
I'm looking forward to the convenience of a tray.
by: Bruce11/23/2019
Arrived intact and very quickly with free shipping. Easy to assemble. Feels rock solid.
Despite the warning that you cannot use with front fenders (which we discovered buried in the manual after purchasing) the front wheel retention gadget holds securely to the fork stabilizers on our mountain ebikes.
Cable locks look easy to defeat but would probably slow down a thief long enough to run into a store for 5min.
Nice design. It is clear that they put a lot of thought into the design and construction of this rack and actually tried using it before selling it.
Great upgrade from our hanger-style Yakima rack that the ebikes could barely be loaded on because of their nonstandard frame designs.
First Kuat product for me. Won't be the last.
by: Jeffrey P.05/08/2017
Wow!!! What an upgrade from my Thule 4 bike hanging carrier! The Thule was fine for hauling the family's bikes around town but I needed a platform to safely transport my Tri bike to events.
I couldn't be happier with Kuat and this NV 2.0 carrier. Amazing etrailer customer service with Cathy T and absolutely the best price! Super fast free shipping too. I ordered Wednesday afternoon and she arrived ahead of schedule on Saturday. (That's right, this rack is so sweet I gendered it.)
Easy to follow instructions, sweet looks and a secure platform leaves me with absolutely ZERO buyers remorse.
I began my search for a platform carrier at the cheap end of the scale. After a quick study I became convinced that Kuat was my best option. And etrailer made it possible for me to stretch my budget into a FIVE STAR Kuat rack!
Special Thanks to Cathy T for helping with a billing issue that required a few calls!
by: Brad S07/22/2018
I did a lot of research on tray racks and had narrowed it down to Thule, 1up, and Kuat. Then I started looking at what other riders were using. I didn’t see any 1ups where I ride, but I did see a lot of Thules and Kuats. Thule owners are happy with their racks but Kuat owners are FANATICS! Nearly every Kuat owner was a “brand ambassador.” So far this rack had really lived up to the hype....I guess I am now a Kuat brand ambassador too!
(Assembly tip: assemble upside down and use foam or pillows to prop up center piece as you align the arms.)
by: Roy11/23/2021
The heavy weighted bike rack is what comes with the quality of this rack I have used a simple 4 wheel dolly from [oversupply store] to easily move and store away when not in use.
by: Roger01/31/2023
This rack is the best bike rack I’ve owned. It’s build well and designed well. etrailer was a pleasure to deal with. The shipping was fast, communication was great and they had the best online price.
by: Katherine02/09/2022
We are just assembling the bike rack. So far easy instructions. We cannot wait till it is nice enough to go biking again. I look forward to using the bike rack so I do not need to load it onto our pickup. I will be a lot more independent with this.

Havent used it yet. Busy year no trips. This year for sure.
by: Dan11/01/2023
Just received this carrier today. I haven't even opened it yet and can tell you that it is a great carrier, we have had one before. The fantastic thing about this whole process is the attention you get from etrailer.com. They are GREAT to do business with. They fill and ship orders so quickly that it dazzles me. I ordered this on Saturday night, it was shipped on Sunday and I received it on Wednesday. Shipping was FREE!!! What a deal. And Ashley even emails me when it is shipped and again when she gets notice it is delivered. GREAT SERVICE!!! Thanks! I am proud to recommend etrailer.com.
by: Scott 08/15/2023
This is a fantastic bike hitch. Sturdy and securely holds 2 bikes. I traveled to Florida from New York and then back this past spring with 2 bikes on the hitch and had zero issues. Only downside is the weight of this hitch; it is a beast to get on and get off...clearly however the weight of the hitch is the reason it is so sturdy and effective. Highly recommend, with the caveat that you have to muscle it on and off your car.
by: Joe07/26/2023
Fantastic bike rack. Switch it between a Honda Ridgeline and a Subaru Outback Wilderness and it works perfectly.
Accidentally lost the locking pin that secures the rack to the trailer hitch and when I inquired with Kurt about ordering a replacement lock keyed to match the locking cables on the rack and the Kuat rep sent one to me for free. (I removed the rack and left the lock sitting on my car bumper. Later that day I drove off and lost the lock on the highway).
by: Jeff 01/02/2024
Excellent service and the products were as advertised. I would not hesitate to do business with etrailer again.
by: David10/27/2021
Overall the bike rack does what it says it does but better, it is much lighter than other bike racks with same features, looks great, and well made. Being able to add extra bikes to the rack, or using the repair stand it comes with is also something you don't see with other racks. You will not be disappointed with this rack.

Outstanding bike rack. This rack may cost a little more but it is worth ever dollar. Nothing compares to it not just for all the features others have listed but it looks great. Only problem I have writing this review is when everyone else knows how good it is is I will not be the only one on the road getting all the attention. Works great for my Jeep Wrangler.

See what our Experts say about this Kuat Hitch Bike Racks
- Best Bike Rack for Electric Bikes on a 2016 Volvo XC60You can use pretty much any bike rack with any trailer hitch so long as the receiver tube opening is the same size as the rack's shank and you have bumper clearance on the vehicle. They do not make trailer hitches specifically for certain bike racks nor do they make bike racks specifically for certain trailer hitches There are 1-1/4" and 2" versions of the Kuat NV 2.0 so we just need to make sure we get the correct one that matches the size of the receiver tube you have on your vehicle....

- Hitch Tube Depth of Stealth Hitch that Fits 2019 Audi E-TronThe overall depth of the hitch attachment of the Stealth hitch part # SH34FR is 5-1/2 inches from front to back and then 3-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the very back of the hitch tube. Based on that we know the Kuat NV2.0 Base # BA22B and the NV 2.0 # NV22G are a confirmed fit and would work great. To upgrade it to a kit that has the ball mount platform you'd need the part # SH39FR as well.

- What is the Difference Between the Kuat NV 2.0 and the Older Version of the RackThere were quite a bit of updates for the new NV which Kuat spent three years working on. One of the biggest differences the new Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV22G has over the previous version is that the wheel cradles can now accommodate tires up to 4.8 inches in width. The hitch pin design allows you to install the rack without any tools instead of needing a wrench for the anti-rattle bolt. The foot release lever can now allow the rack to tilt down for more access to the rear cargo area. That...
view full answer... - Comparing Thule T2 Pro and Kuat NV Bike RacksYou really can't go wrong with either bike rack you mentioned as they are both considered the nicest platform bike racks you can get. Both of them also fit you tire width and diameter as well. What's interesting is they both also weight the exact same at 52 lbs. They both can be expanded to 4 bike racks if ever needed, are very stable, and only touch the bikes at the tires. The Kuat is more of a "status symbol" too as most recognize it as the best rack and also very expensive so if that's...
view full answer... - Wall Storage Option for Kuat NV Bike Rack and 2 BikesDepending on the weight of your bikes, the simple to use Swagman X mount, part # S80940 would be a good choice if he combined weight of the bikes was no more than 50 lbs. The X mount has a 100 lb capacity, and the NV rack itself weighs a bit less than 50 lbs. You'd want to be sure that the X mount is lag-bolted to wall studs as drywall alone wouldn't provide enough support. I've linked you to a product demonstration video for the Swagman X Mount so you can see how it works.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Compatibility with Step-Thru E-Bikes with FendersThe Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Gunmetal Gray # NV22G can handle bikes up to 60 lbs each but the fenders of the bike don't make this an ideal fit. The ratcheting hook grips down on those fender locations and could damage your fenders. I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 which is ideal for bikes like your Raleigh e-bike with fenders. This will allow you to easily roll your bikes...
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack for a Pedego E-Bike on a 2019 Honda CR-VWe have a great rack for you! It's the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B. It secures bikes by the frame and can handle up to 60 pounds per bike. The threaded hitch pin prevents sway with an anti-rattle bolt, which is a must when travelling on the highway. The tightening down is by use of knobs and ratchet straps, making it a very easy setup. I've linked to a video review of this rack for you to look at.

Draw-Tite Hidden Hitch - # DT38GR Stealth Hitches - # 391SUOB15 Kuat NV 2.0 - # NV22G I recommend using the Draw-Tite Hidden Hitch because I like the way the receiver connects to the crossbeam better, plus if you ever want to tow in the future you can use a standard ball mount as opposed to getting the specialty ball mount...
view full answer... - Recommended Fold Up Bike Rack For A 2019 Subaru Outback WagonThe ability for the rack to fold up is your primary need and essentially be a part of your vehicle is a paramount consideration. For this reason I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV22G which folds up neatly per the installed picture included. The lower positioning makes the rack easy to load and it tilts away allowing hatch access even when loaded with bikes. Finally the wheel mount design means the rack will not make contact with your bike frames. If you need a hitch,...

In terms of overall quality and design nothing really comes close to it. It's very easy to use, very stable, and since it only touches the bikes by the tires it's very secure and won't damage any bike finish. It also has a repair stand...

- Loading Ramp Add-On Options For An Older Thule T2 Patform Bike RackSo I do have another solution, however adding a ramp to your Thule T2 Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches # TH917XT which is no longer available, is not an option. I know it isn't ideal, but the only real solution is to replace your bike rack with another rack that is compatible with a ramp accessory like the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV22G, which can use the ramp accessory # ANVBRB.

Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, # NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and # BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both racks have very similar specs. The NV 2.0 # NV22G does include,as you stated, the bike repair stand. The # NV22G, when installed in the hitch, will sit closer to your vehicle when folded down then the NV 2.0 Base bike rack.

This is compatible with 2 inch trailer hitch receivers and can hold 2 bikes at 60 pounds each. It can also accommodate tire widths of up to 4.8 inches. A great feature of this carrier, which will come in handy when loading or unloading your heavier e-bike, is the integrated lever that allows the rack to tilt forward.

view full answer... - Kuat 2 Bike Rack Recommendation that Is Motorhome Use ApprovedNot every bike rack is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a motorhome which is why the Kuat NV # NV22G is not motorhome approved. The ride quality is rougher there due to the longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the vehicle which causes the movement from bumps to be exaggerated. Similar to how the rear seats of a school bus are much rougher. With that said Kuat has their Piston Pro X bike rack part # KU98VR listed as compatible with motorhomes and since is...
view full answer... - Will I Have Trunk Access On My 2018 Lexus RX350 When Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Is Installed?The trunk door / tailgate of your 2018 Lexus RX350 should be able to clear the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray # NV22G. I attached a video in which we demonstrate this exact thing on a 2017 Lexus RX350 and you can see the Kuat NV 2.0 is far enough away for the trunk to open properly when bikes are still installed. This was able to be done because the bike rack was in the tilted back position. You would also be able to open the trunk properly...
view full answer... - Bike Rack to Carry E-Bikes with Fat Tires and FendersI have a great e-bike rack solution for yours that has fenders and fat tires but the Kuat NV 2.0 can't be used with bikes that have fenders since the rack clamps the bikes by the tire and that's where your fender would be. Instead you'd want the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is an e-bike rack that uses a frame clamp design instead, can fit fat tires, and also comes with a ramp setup to make loading and unloading easer. If your tires are wider than 3 inches though you'd need...

This wall mount has a weight capacity of 90 lbs. If you have the smaller 1-1/4 inch shank on your Kuat Bike Rack, like part # NV12G , the # KU54FR includes and adapter to accommodate the 1-1/4" shank.

The best of the three racks will depend on the features you're interested in and which features you find most important. First some similarities. All three racks are capable of folding up against the rear of the vehicle when the bikes are removed, and all three can tilt rearward with the bikes in place, allowing easier access to the rear trunk or liftgate of the vehicle. All three racks include hitch locks of some...
view full answer... - Will the Kuat NV Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Lexus GS 350 with a Curt 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchThere is a Kuat NV bike rack that will fit the 1-1/4 inch Curt trailer hitch for your 2009 Lexus GS 350. It is # NV12G. the one that you asked about, # NV22G, only fits 2 inch hitches. The 1-1/4 inch version has all of the same features as the 2 inch version. Please note that Curt says that when using the trailer hitch, # C11372, with an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 to be in compliance with their warranty requirements.

They both weigh in around 50 lbs to carry 2 bikes. The T2 can easily switch to a 4-bike carrier and then weighs 96 lbs. Both hold the bikes from the wheels, without any frame contact. Both racks have a 60 lbs per bike capacity.
