Is the Kuat NV 2 Bike Rack Compatible with Class I Hitches
Question:
Hi, I saw in another response for pn 24816 that certain bike racks may not be compatible for this class I hitch. In that response, the expert recommends another sled-style rack made by Kuat sherpa? I think. Is the Kuat NV 2 2-bike rack compatible with pn 24816? I have ordered the NV 2 in 1.25inch receiver size. Only the 2inch receiver size is eligible for the 2 bike add on 4 bikes total, so I hope that means pn 24816 is compatible with the 1.25inch receiver Kuat NV 2? This setup would be well under the 200 lbs limit unless each bike is like 60 lbs. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Kuat NV Bike Rack part # NV12G that you referenced is compatible with Class I hitches so it should work very well with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch # 24816 that you ordered for your 2008 Mazda 3.
I attached a review video of this rack being used on a Class I hitch for you to check out.
