Question:
What is the difference between the Kuat NV-2.0 bike rack and the Kuat NV 2-bike rack?

Expert Reply:
There 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 pivot point was also redesigned to allow it to last the lifetime of the rack now.
The angle of the front tray is now adjustable which allows it to better fit varying wheel styles and sizes. The rear wheel strap is now a softer material which will help prevent any scratching or damage to the rims.
The arms that grab the tires and secure the bikes were also redesigned to allow them to glide more smoothly and not twist as much which provides a more secure attachment.
The bike repair stand is now standard on the rack and was tweaked a bit to allow it to operate smoother.
