Features
- ALL-METAL HITCH-MOUNTED BIKE RACK - The Kuat NV Base 2.0 is a highly durable, all-metal hitch-mounted bike rack designed to transport up to two bikes securely, including heavier electric bikes, with each tray supporting up to 60 lbs. This makes it a versatile option for cyclists with a range of bike types, from lightweight road bikes to bulkier e-bikes; the all-metal design ensures long-lasting durability and the strength needed to handle heavy loads; a powder-coated finish resists rust and wear
- ADJUSTABLE FRONT TIRE CRADLE SYSTEM - Like the NV 2.0, the Base 2.0 2-bike rack has adjustable front tire cradles that help minimize seat post and handlebar interference, and a handy Pivot lever that tilts an extra 45 degrees for additional clearance inside your vehicle's back hatch or trunk; the thoughtfully designed hand-tight hitch cam system keeps the rack from rocking on all your biking adventures
- INTEGRATED CABLE LOCKS - When it comes to security, the Base 2.0 2-bike hitch rack comes with fully integrated cable locks and a matching hitch lock to keep your prized mountain bike, road bike, gravel bike, or e-bike locked up tight while looking tight; the robust hitch rack offers a hassle-free installation process, with a hand-tightened cam system that secures it to the hitch without the need for tools
- PIVOT SYSTEM - The rack has a foot-operated pivot lever that allows it to tilt down for easy access to the rear of your vehicle, even when fully loaded with bikes. It can also be folded up against the vehicle when not in use to save space; for those needing to transport more bikes, an optional add-on is available that expands the rack's capacity to four bikes, while maintaining the same level of stability and security
- 2-INCH HITCH RECEIVERS COMPATIBLE - The Kuat NV Base 2.0 - 2" Hitch-Mounted 2-Bike Rack (BA22) is ideal for larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and some vans, and fits 2-inch hitch receivers; this size is more common on vehicles designed for heavier towing and load-bearing, making it perfect for securely transporting heavier bikes, including e-bikes

Lets get the bad out of the way firstly.. It's very difficult to put together and I'm pretty good at putting things together. They give you a barcode that you are suppose to take a photo of with your phone which leads you to a video that instructs you how to put it together. There is not a lot of pieces to put together but the thing is awkward because of the way the middle hitch is elevated.. Basically there is a left and right side for the wheels that have to be bolted together that connect to the middle hitch and without something the exact height to elevate the wheel shafts to the holes are a real chore to line up. It's seriously difficult and will take most people around 45 minutes to an hour. It's super frustrating I'm not going to lie.. Also the kick lever to raise and and lower the bike rack has no indicator how it's supposed to face or go on.. If you can't find the video, or no device to help you it's impossible because it can only be screwed in one way to work properly although the rack will accept it mounted in other configurations as well but none of those work.. I ended up finding a video on youtube of some dude putting it on his car and watched how his was angled.. Okay, now the good- The bike rack is stunning looking and solid as a ROCK.. It doesn't move at all and can fit my two 29er beastly road bikes with ease.. The bike lock system is genius and the hitch lock is industrial grade. I couldn't ask for anything more out of a bike rack quite honestly.. Previously I owned a kuat sherpa 1.0 and that thing is a toy compared to the NV 2.0.

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.

great price, great quality. You can tell when something is high quality or not and as soon as I opening this bike rack up and started putting it together, I knew it was built well. Works great, no bouncing thanks to the adjustable hitch tightener.

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!

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.

This bicycle rack is nothing short of amazing. We have two 50 lb ebikes and the Kuwat holds them like they weigh nothing at all. They are rock solid while we drive over speed bumps and at full highway speed. Lifting them onto the rack takes some doing and I will likely be purchasing Kuwat's ramp at some point. The anti-rattle system securing the rack to the hitch receiver is easy to use - tighten with the hex wrench which conveniently stores in the tube end. Putting this thing together the first time takes three hands to get the components to line up, but the suggestion to turn it upside down makes it much easier. The rack is heavy, as it should be for the amount of weight it supports, so getting it into the hitch receiver and the lock pin holes lined up takes some practice. I don't think I completely trust the embedded locks to keep the bikes secured to the rack, so I've been locking each bike to the rack (and each other) with their chain locks as well.
