This add-on lets you transform your Kuat NV 2.0 2-bike rack (NV22B - sold separately) into a 4-bike rack. It holds 2 bikes by the wheels with adjustable hooks and sliding rear-wheel straps. Integrated cable lock included.What an awesome rack. The modular aspect of it is fantastic. Sometimes it’s just my and my wife, no need for a 4 bike carrier. Other times, another couple may want to go with us, not a problem, add on the extension to make it a four bike rack. I’ve never timed it, but I don’t think it takes more than 15 minutes to add the extension. The hitch tension wheel (sorry, don’t recall what KUAT calls it) is great. Pin the hitch, hand tighten the wheel and you’ll think that the rack was part of your vehicle. No swaying or bouncing around. The cradle and hook system is quite secure, I’ve never felt unsure about it. The built in cable locks are nice if you are overnighting at a hotel, great peace of mind that your bikes will still be there in the morning. The drop mechanism is spot on, the hatch clears when you drop it down, if only by a smidge causing my wife to gasp once or twice that her paint would get scratched by a handle bar. Naturally, lifting the rack back up with 4 bikes loaded on it can be a chore but the rack never claimed to defy the laws of physics. The only downsides: the rack is too heavy and awkward to handle with the extension. If you have the extension on and loaded, there is a lot of weight back there. This rack is for my wife’s Expedition, no small vehicle, and if I change lanes too quickly, it will definitely give you some sway. I could only imagine what it would feel like in a smaller vehicle. Obviously, with the extension on, it adds quite a bit of length to your vehicle. However the last 2 points are easily managed simply by remembering the bike rack is on there.
The Kuat NV 2.0 bike hitch and extension hitch have been great products for our family. We use it for the regular hitch for quick two bike trips to the beach and the extension when the entire family is taking a ride or we’re heading out on a family road trip. These hitch racks are a safe secure way to transport bikes.
Best bike rack I’ve owned...a little pricey but you get what you pay for...quality. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase.
The product was received on time and in perfect condition at a discount price. THANK YOU!
Well built and it's quick and easy to add it or remove it from the other two-bike rack.
Two packages arrived as originally planned. Pleased with assembly and installation instructions and rack sturdiness after test ride.
Takes a second to get oriented with the parts, but quickly comes together. Very solid. Kuat makes quality products.
I find the build quality and finish on the Kuat products second to none. I have been using these products for over 10 years with no issues.
Excellent rack, quality built, durable, and great aesthetics. Kuat customer service also excellent.
Awesome service!!
