E-bikes and mountain rigs are no problem here. The Kuat NV 2.0 carries up to 2 bikes, each weighing up to 60 lbs, for a total of 120 lbs of hauling power. That covers most e-bikes, fat-tire builds, and heavier trail setups. The aluminum body keeps the overall rack weight to 52 lbs, balancing strength with easy handling.
The NV 2.0 grabs bikes by the wheels, not the frame, so there’s no contact with paint or carbon fiber. The ratcheting front-wheel hooks and sliding rear cradles secure each bike solidly without scuffs or scratches. It fits 25"–29" wheels, and with an optional adapter it can handle 20"–24" wheels. Standard straps fit up to 3.0" tires, while fat-bike straps stretch to 5.0".
A spring-loaded foot lever makes it simple to tilt the rack for cargo access or fold it flat for storage. You can tilt it down even with both bikes loaded—no need to unload just to open the hatch. When empty, step on the pedal again and fold it up neatly out of the way.
Security is built in. Each tray hides a ¼" braided steel cable lock that loops through your bike’s frame and clicks back into place. The locking hitch pin holds the rack tight to your hitch receiver. Both locks are keyed alike, so one key handles the whole setup.
The NV 2.0’s Trail Doc repair stand gives you a mobile tune-up station anywhere you park. A rubber-coated clamp secures seat posts or top tubes from ¾" to 2-½" without marring the finish. It rotates and locks at the height you need for quick adjustments or cleaning before the next ride.

After a year I still love my Kuat. It has made a bunch of trips to Vermont from here in Connecticut without a problems or hiccups. I have had quite a few comments on it, folks thought it looked unique and very secure. I really appreciate the integrated locking cable, it gives me piece of mind that my bikes are safe. My only problem was with the locking pin for the work stand which broke shortly after I got it. The folks from Kuat quickly sent me a replacement though, the gentleman I talked to was very helpful. All in all, this rack is well worth the price in my opinion.

This bike rack is great! It’s everything a cyclist could want. The only reason I can think of that an individual might not want this is if they want the other model that carries more bikes!

I am sorry your bike rack arrived damaged. I will reach out to the manufacturer to have them reship a new Trail Dock Upright.

I am all good, you can cancel the request, Kuat has already sent me a replacement. The box was beaten up pretty bad by UPS, soaking wet and completely surrounded in tape, so this is not your fault! but the broken part, the Doc, was actually insulated and appeared to be a manufacturing defect since the metal was cracked and a piece fell off. Anyway, KUAT made is right and [sent] me the part so we are good to go.
