Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the 1-Bike Add-On for Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2" Hitches

What's going on, everybody. Adam here with the etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat One Bike Add On for your NV base or NV 2.0 bike racks. An awesome feature about the NV base or the NV 2.0, is the fact that we can add one bike or even two bikes, onto the two-by configuration that you may already have. We have black here but it also comes in metallic black and gunmetal gray. This is gonna be the exact same thing as you have before.

You have two up here. The add-ons gonna be exactly the same, the sides. You might have a different cable lock here. This is the updated lock. It's pretty much the same exact thing.

And it's gonna work the same exact way as your other one. There's just a different location to lock that in. So, it's not gonna be any longer or any shorter. So, you don't have to worry about having to figure out if it's going to fit your bikes. It's gonna have the same exact features as all the other slots on your bike rack.

But, one thing that is really nice about it is it does come with the fat tire bike adapter. So, if that extra bike that you picked up is a fat tire bike, you don't really have to worry about grabbing an adapter that comes with the kit. Only two things are gonna change from your normal bike rack that you're used to having. And that is just the length. We're gonna add about 11 inches from the farthest point that you used to have.

And, we are going to limit our weight capacity down from 60 pounds per bike to 50 pounds per bike. This is one of my favorite features of the NV 2.0 or the NV base. Just because, if you have a growing family, you can slowly start adding them on, whether it's one or two or if you're really just getting into the bike game and then you start acquiring different types of bikes, maybe a fat tire bike, a heavy duty mountain bike, and then a road bike. You can bring all of your bikes to the trails and get a ride in on each one with one single bike rack. You get a couple other goodies with the kit. We're gonna get a nice little baggy, which is nice. And we are gonna get two sets of keys and a bottle opener, which is sweet. But, one thing about the keys is, they're not gonna work with your hitch lock or your other two cable locks. But, it is gonna work for the cable lock on the add on. It is super, super simple. Of course, we have all the hardware that comes with it to make the install really, really easy. So, let's go over that installation process with you now. First thing you wanna do is we're gonna assemble this whole kit together. And, we wanna get the concave side, facing up, and there's gonna be a B on one side and A on the other. So, what you wanna do is take one of your parts, see what it says on there. And since this one says B, we're gonna go this way, again, with the concave part facing up. And, basically, we're gonna have two bolts linking both of these together. One's already gonna be installed. So take the nut off, line them up, just, thread it all the way through. Just like that. And then, on the other side, you gonna line that up, like that. Hole over here, it's got the same shape as our nut. So, when we put that on, we can just go ahead and put this on with it. Kind of just hold that into place and I'm gonna get a tool. So, for this one, the one that's already pre-installed whenever you get it, I would definitely recommend using this tool right here because over here, it's gonna get in our way. So, start making your way, tightening that one up. I'm not gonna completely tighten it. I'm just gonna get it threaded on there. And then we're gonna go back and forth from the two to tighten them up evenly. Now, one is almost completely tightened down, we're gonna do the same exact thing for this, but this one is gonna go in from the other side, compared to the one we did earlier. Now, with that all assembled, we can just go ahead and work on our rack, prepare it for adding the add on. And by doing that, all we got to do is just take this cap off. If you have the NV 2.0 and not the base, it's the same exact process. You just have a little bike work stand, still, gonna have the same bolt. So, use the provided tool here to get it loosened up. Take that bolt all the way out, and the end cap and or the bike stand will come out with it. Now, let's take the add on. Make sure this little bracket on the end is nice and lined up. And we're gonna go ahead and take it. Slide it in there. And line it all up. That'll fit in there really nicely. You'll feel it. Trust me. And then, you can take our little bigger tool and there's gonna be two bolts in here. And, we wanna tighten those up. I suggest as tightening up to where one of them is rather tight and then go to the other one. And then, we can tighten them down fully together, going back and forth just to make sure it's seated into place properly. Now, we can take our end cap or the bike stand. You can go ahead and line that up. And they do provide us with a new shiny bolt. So, use the new one just because the threads on the inside of the new piece we're adding are nice and new and we don't wanna cross-thread it with some of the other threads on the other one. You might as well use the new hardware. Take your tool. Tighten it down. Once everything is nice and lined up and it's nice and tight, we, are done. Well, everyone that's just about does it for a look at the Kuat One Bike Add On for your envy base or NV 2.0 bike racks..

Haven't use it yet, but very happy with the way it went together. The 1-bike add-on was a great solution to avoid the huge 4 bike rack issues. It is hard to find a 3 bike platform rack.

  • Expandable Platform Bike Rack Recommendation
    The Küat NV 2.0, part # BA22B does indeed offer add-ons that allow you to carry additional bikes. The one bike add-on is part # KU97FR and the 2 bike add-on is part # BA02B. The base rack includes an integrated hitch and cable lock, and with the addition of the # APBK adapter, the rack can carry fat bikes with tires up to 4-3/4 inches wide. Küat is definitely my favorite rack manufacturer. The racks are designed by folks that are riding enthusiasts who build bike racks that have features...

  • Recommended Sturdy 3-Bike Rack
    I have used every bike rack we carry here at etrailer. Yes, Thule is a great brand but it would not be my first pick. I LOVE the Kuat NV 2.0 which comes in matte black # BA22B Metallic Black # NV22B or Gunmetal Gray # NV22G. You can add on to it to carry the 3 bikes you want. They come in the three colors Matte Black # KU97FR, Metallic Black # KU47FR and Gunmetal Gray # KU67FR. The NV 2.0 is a great option for almost any type of bike. It works with most fat tire bikes, kids bikes, most...

  • Best Bike Rack For A Jeep Wrangler
    My favorite rack for Jeeps especially is the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B. It comes in different colors which is nice but it can also be added on to. You can make the NV hold three bikes with this add on # KU97FR or it can carry 4 bikes with this add on # BA02B. Depending on your spare tire, you may need a little more space so you can fold the rack up. A hitch extender # HL20B would work but it will cut your jeeps capacity in half. If you didn't have extremely heavy bikes you could use an extender...

  • Best Bike Rack Options For 2016 Toyota Rav4
    If you don't have one already, a 2 inch hitch # e98864 is ideal because you have much more options when it comes to accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers # e98874. My favorite bike rack is the NV 2.0 # BA22B because it can handle almost any bike you throw at it, but with any rack you will have some vision taken away when using your rear camera. You will still be able to use your backup camera but not as well. Both the carrier and this rack will allow hatch access when the bikes/cargo...

  • Are Bike Add-Ons Cross Compatible Between The Kuat NV 2.0 And Kuat NV 2.0 Base Models
    No, the bike add-ons for the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B and Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B are different, but Kuat lists the NV 2.0 add-ons as being compatible with the base model. They do not list the base model add-ons as being compatible with the NV 2.0 model though. This would mean that the # KU47FR (NA21B) would be compatible with the Base model # BA22B. I've listed the each add-on below with their respective models as well if you're looking for the exact matches. For the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B...

    If you wanted to get a hitch, you can get this one # 76015 which will work with any 2 inch bike rack like the NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B which also comes in a two bike version # BA22B.

  • The Ultimate Platform Bike Rack For 3 Bikes
    If I was looking for a 3 bike rack for a 2 inch hitch I would 100% go with the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B and get the one bike add on # KU97FR. I love these racks as they are super stylish and sturdy.
