Hello, 2009 Honda Fit Sport - Kuat NV 2.0. Can I put this rack on my car? I mean, I am sure I can, but is there any evidence proving that I should not go this route? Kuat NV12G Thanks,

The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV12G will absolutely work on your 2009 Honda Fit Sport.

The only thing you need is a trailer hitch if you do not have one and the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch # 306-X7286 is the best option because you aren't going to need to use stabilizing straps to support a bike rack like you would with the Curt # C11064 hitch that also fits your '09 Fit.

The Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12G, which is in a color called Gunmetal Gray but is also available in Black at part # NV12B, is not only one of the best-looking bike racks available but it is also one of the best racks in the industry and one of the easiest to use.

This rack only requires you to turn a knob to install it in your hitch and it even has a foot lever which makes it simple to either tilt the rack or fold it. This is also a wheel-mounted rack which means zero contact with your bike's frame and has a capacity of 60 lbs per bike.

The NV 2.0 # NV12G and # NV12B even comes with a built-in bike repair stand and has a hitch lock to secure the rack to your Honda Fit along with a cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack which is going to help protect your investments.

The rack fits tires that are up to 3" wide but can fit tires up to 4-3/4" with Phat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK; it also fits 25" to 29" wheels but for wheels that are 20" to 24" you can use the Bike Adapter # 016-025-00-00.

I have added links to video reviews of the Kuat NV 2.0 for you to take a look at.
