Kuat NV Base 2.0 Hitch-Mounted 2-Bike Rack

Very sturdy and easy to use. Great for e-bikes

Had a Yakima OnRamp and could not get my eBike to ride up the ramp safely and it wobbled a bit while driving. I found it easier to move bike alongside rack, hold back brake and pull up front wheel. Put that wheel into rack holder then lift the back wheel onto rack. Cuts the eBikes weight in half thus no need for ramp. Also, with a ramp, you need 12ft or so on EITHER side of vehicle to load bike. The ramp is not practical for me. The cable lock on this rack is kinda funky and getting it locked and opening up the weatherproof cap on the lock is not easy. I will likely use my own cable/lock. Also, this rack does NOT have a welded ring or something to attach a lock cable to. The only way to lock a bike to the rack is to lock the racks cable into a loop and pass your own cable thru that loop. Going down road, this rack does not bounce, the bolts/fittings etc. are very close tolerance. I also found you do not use/need a threaded rod that goes thru hitch. All you need is a 5/8" pin with a lock on the end. The rack has a knob that takes out any slop in the hitch. I have checked the tightness a few times after driving a bit and sometimes I can put back another 1/8 turn but no more. It stays quick snug. Assembly was very quick and simple but the instructions could be improved. Why not give install details about end caps ? I had to take the rack all apart just to get the end-cap inserted properly. Then the wrench/tool. I don't recall any guidance on how to store that tool on the rack. Overall very strongly recommended.

Excellent rack, looks great on my truck.Heavy duty for hauling e-bikes, very well built.

My son had purchased this rack from his local bike shop in Buda, TX. I fell in love with the rack and had to have one for myself. I picked one up on Amazon and the shipping was very fast. Assembly was straight forward and really easy. Literally 5 bolts. I put it on the tailgate of my truck with a beach towel underneath to protect. This kept me off the ground and it was a pretty good height. There is absolutely no rattle of wiggle once you tighten the cam that takes up the hitch slack. If you have decent bikes, don’t skimp on your hitch! This rack also looks really nice on the back of my black Tacoma and my wife’s white Porsche Cayenne. The lock feature is also nice. It locks at the hitch and the pull out cables for the bikes is a nice touch. They can be cut by a good pair of bolt cutters but will slow down the average person looking to swipe a bike. If you’re on the fence, jump down and get this rack!

I put it on a 2019 Tahoe. It fits great. You can lower it down so you can open the back hatch. I haven't tried that with two bikes on it though. I probably should. It doesn't block the camera too bad when there are no bikes on it but it does seem to block the back up collision sensor so you no longer get a warning when you're about to back into your garage door or whatever. With bikes attached, it blocks the camera considerably more but not completely and the camera is still functional I would say. It looks awesome. It is very robust, well thought out, well constructed with high quality materials and the tolerances are tight. All pieces were included though it seemed like they weren't for a few minutes. It is a lot of work to assemble however and the directions are not as helpful as they could be. That would be my only minor complaints. All in all, this thing is really nice, works very well and looks great and I have no major complaints so 5 stars.

This bike rack is truly impressive. Although the installation process can be a bit cumbersome due to the large and heavy pieces, I managed to assemble it myself after taking some time to align and tighten everything. Once assembled, the rack feels solid and durable, weighing around 50lbs. Mounting it on the hitch receiver, you'll notice its weight, but the bikes are easy to load and unload. The rack conveniently folds and lowers, allowing access to the trunk or hatch of an SUV even with the bikes on. The only drawback I encountered was that the pin and lock didn't fit in the limited space of the Tesla Model Y's hitch receiver. I had to find another lock that fits. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with my purchase and expect this product to last for many years. I highly recommend it.

The one I bought is like new and it very well designed.

I've come from using a hitch rack that hold 4 bikes that hang for the longest time. Constantly tieing the bikes down. I have been wanting a platform rack but was skeptical due to how the bike is held down in place. With the Kuat it will hold down your bike in place very well. With a much quicker installing/removal of bikes. Took the rack for a road test, train tracks, bumpy roads etc. And the bike did not move. But I learned a trick when tightened the rack is to slightly lift the rack up. I noticed that there is no wobble what so ever when doing this. It's worth the price tag

Excelente calidad

this hitch rack is perfect. I wouldn't change anything if I were to build it myself. I don't build bike racks at all, but if I did and was great at it, I would build it like this. very sturdy. one of the only bike racks I feel comfortable enough just forgetting about instead of staring in the rear mirror anticipating the moment my bikes fall off and tumble down the road. this rack offers plenty peace of mind and also looks great. especially mounted in my KUAT pivot 2.0 swing arm.

Extremly fast shipping. Easy to install. Approx 1 hr install with breaks due to other commitments. Fits well and looks like it was a factory install. Great bike carrier and no rattles or movement during transport

Me gusto mucho el diseño es práctico, solo un poco pesado por el material pero excelente producto
