Rotating Arms with Ratcheting Wheel Hooks

Kuat NV 2.0 wheel hooks

The NV 2.0 Base has ratcheting hooks that grab your bikes firmly by the front wheel - not the frame. It's perfect for carrying carbon bikes or bikes with a custom paint job. To load a bike, simply place your front wheel in the cradle, rotate the arm up and over the wheel, and press down firmly on the ratcheting hook.


Large Front Wheel Cradles

Kuat NV 2.0 front wheel cradles

The front wheel cradles will easily accommodate fat bike wheels. They can also be adjusted to perfectly fit each bike's wheelbase. Use the included Allen key stored in the compartment at the back of the rack to adjust.


Sliding Ratcheting Straps

Kuat NV 2.0 ratcheting straps

Ratcheting rear-wheel straps slide along the wheel trays to accommodate bikes with a variety of wheelbases. Press the quick-release button on the strap buckle to remove your bikes. An extender strap is included for use with 1 fat bike. Additional extender straps (sold separately) are available if you have more than 1 fat bike.


Foot Lever for Easy Tilting and Folding

Kuat NV 2.0 foot lever

The spring-loaded foot lever is easily accessible even with your bikes loaded. No more crawling through your bikes or squeezing between the rack and the vehicle to hit the tilt release lever.


Kuat NV 2.0 tilting rackKuat NV 2.0 folding rack

The foot lever lets you tilt the rack down with bikes loaded for cargo area access. It leaves both hands free so that you can lower the rack in a controlled manner. When the rack is unloaded you can fold it up for storage.


Optional Repair Stand

Kuat NV 2.0 Trail Doc

This rack gives you the option of adding the Trail Doc (TDKB - sold separately). It's a handy repair stand that attaches to the front of the rack. It lets you position your bike as needed for adjustments, cleaning, and on-the-go repairs. It can be also be locked into place to prevent theft and includes a cap for the housing if you prefer to use the rack without it.


Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device

Kuat NV 2.0 anti-rattle device

The knob at the front of the shank lets you quickly and easily install the rack. Just slide the shank into your hitch and turn the knob until snug. The knob deploys an anti-rattle wedge inside the shank to help take play out of the hitch connection. The locking hitch pin has an Allen tool on the end that further tightens the hand knob if you are still experiencing rattle after hand-tightening.


Complete Security for Bikes and Rack

Kuat NV 2.0 locking cable

Each wheel tray has an integrated cable lock that lets you secure your bike to the rack. A 1/4" thick, braided steel cable extends from the end of the wheel tray, threads through your bike's frame, and locks back onto itself.


Kuat NV 2.0 locking hitch pin

A locking hitch pin is also included to secure the rack to your vehicle. Lock cores (sold separately) let you key each lock alikeso you only need 1 key for the rack.

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Add-On Fit Older Kuat NV Bike Rack
    The 2-Bike Add-On # NA22G is only compatible with the Kuat NV 2.0. If you do have the original you will either need to find it at a parts store or unfortunately purchase the NV 2.0 for the upgrade. Should you decide to go this route we have the NV 2.0 Base # BA22B-BA02B which basically just lacks the bike stand, or the complete NV 2.0 rack with comes in Gunmetal Gray # NV22G-NA22G or Metallic Black # NV22B-NA22B. Attached are review videos for both options that you can reference. If...

  • Availability of Add-Ons and Spare Parts for Inno Tire Hold INH142 Bike Rack
    We do indeed carry the Inno Tire Hold bike rack, # INH110 for a 1-bike, # INH120 for a 2-bike, # INH142 for a 4-bike version. The racks aren't discontinued, and we can get many spare parts from Inno. This particular rack isn't capable of being added onto. Kuat offers a wheel-mount rack, # BA22B for a 2-bike, or # BA22B-BA02B for a 4-bike. A 1 bike add on is available as part # KU97FR or a 2 bike as # BA02B. We can indeed obtain replacement parts from Kuat.

  • 4-Bike Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Spare Tire on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
    The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR should fit the bill to clear the spare tire on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I say "should" because more times than not this will fit, however since Jeep owners like to modify their rides you will want to take a quick measurement just to make sure. At long as the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the outermost part of your spare isn't 13-1/2" or more then this will fit great! I have attached a review video of this on...

  • Why Does Thule Apex XT Swinging Bike Rack Pivot to Passenger Side
    The Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT will work great to give you complete rear access to the rear doors of your vehicle but it swings to the passenger side like they all mostly do. This is the case because in the event you were on the side of the highway and needed in your hatch you'd be able to pivot the bike rack to the passenger side and not out into traffic to get to the hatch. If you really did want a setup that swung to the opposite side you'd need the adapter # PVD20B with a Kuat...

  • Best Bike Rack for Four Bikes Money Can Buy
    The best bike rack we have for four bikes is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack which is offered in metallic black part # NV22B-NA22B, gunmetal gray part # NV22G-NA22G, and matte black part # BA22B-BA02B. This is a wheel mount bike rack that will work with pretty much any bike that does not have fenders. It has all the bells/whistles and exceptionally good looks. I have attached a similar test course video for you. However, it is important to note that the test course is designed...

  • Comparison of Kuat NV 2.0 and Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Bike Racks
    The difference between the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G-NA22G and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B-BA02B is the bike repair stand. The repair stand is included on the NV 2.0 but not the NV 2.0 Base. It can be added to the Base using # TDKB.

  • Looking For Platform Style Rack for 2 e-Bikes and 2 Regular Bikes
    The suitability of the racks you mentioned will depend on a few different factors. • The weight of the bikes • Do the bikes have fenders? • Do the bikes have fat tires? The Saris SuperClamp EX 4, part # SA4026F can accommodate 4 bikes. The capacity for the 2 inner most bikes is 60 lbs each, and the capacity for the 2 outermost bikes is 35 lbs each. The rack can accommodate bikes with tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide right out of the box, or if the # SA4419 fat tire adapters are added, it'll...

  • Comparing Kuat NV 2.0 And Kuat NV 2.0 Base Hitch Mounted Bike Carriers
    There are a few minor differences between the Kuat NV 2.0 bike carrier, part # NV22G-NA22G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base carrier, par # BA22B-BA02B. Both bike carriers have a 60-lb capacity per bike when carrying just 2 bikes but when the add-on is attached the weight capacity drops to 40-lbs per bike. The biggest difference is the distance from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier when folded up or down. On the NV 2.0, the distance when the rack is folded up is 7-inches...

  • Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring For a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Carrying a 4-Bike Rack
    For a completely hidden trailer hitch, I recommend the Hidden Hitch Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT92GR if you have a Hybrid Pacific or the # DT46GR for your non-hybrid 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The hidden hitch is a custom-fit hitch that installs behind your vehicle's rear bumper so that the cross tube is always out of sight. The receiver easily removes when not in use. The 2" receiver will allow you to have a larger selection of bike racks available to fit your situation. The T-One...

  • Options for Carrying Multiple Bikes with a 2016 Mini Countryman
    Although the M7 Speed trailer hitches # 327-60-160200 and # 327-60-160201 for your 2016 Mini Countryman are a great option that allows you to retain the factory look of your vehicle, the max tongue weight (TW) rating they have is 150 lbs and that is if the overhang distance of the trailer hitch is 12". As the overhang increases the max TW decreases. This is important to note because both the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G (Gray) and # NV22B-NA22B (Black) as well as the Base Model...

  • What Is the Per-Bike Rating of the Kuat NV 2.0 For A Class I or II Hitch?
    Hopefully I can clear some confusion up for you. So what I think is happening is you're looking at two-different things for the same rack. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # BA12B you're looking at has a capacity of 60-lbs per bike and will work with both class I & II 1-1/4" hitches. There is also a 4-bike version # BA22B-BA02B that is only going to work with 2" hitches and has a 60-lbs per bike capacity when used as a two-bike carrier, or a 40-lbs per bike capacity...

  • Comparing the Weights of Different 4-Bike Racks
    The Inno Tire Hold 4 # INH142 weighs 118 pounds. It is a full tray style compared to the other bike racks you mentioned, Kuat NV # BA22B-BA02B, Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4026F, Yakima HoldUp # Y02443-2, that use wheel cradles instead. Even the Kuat NV # BA22B-BA02B is the heaviest of those three options at 86lbs. Its platform is partially a tray style so that you can still roll your bike onto the rack using the Kuat Access Ramp # ANVBRB. My favorite thing about the Inno Tire Hold # INH142...

  • 4 Bike Rack For Pleasure-Way Lexor FL Motorhome
    I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # BA22B-BA02B which is capable of supporting up to 40 pounds each for 4 bikes, or 60 pounds each for 2 bikes. To achieve the clearance needed, you will need to use the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B in conjunction. This will allow you to pivot your rack up to 120° away, giving you plenty of clearance.

  • What is the Maximum Wheelbase for the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack?

  • Hitch Options For 4 Bike Racks On A 2017 Ford Focus
    If you have a 2017 Ford Focus Hatchback RS you do have a 2" hitch option # 306-X7355. Then you can use a platform style rack like the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B. If that's not the case for you vehicle, then you don't have a 1-1/4 inch hitch option # C11431 as the class I hitches are only rated for two bikes.

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with Factory Step Bumper
    For your Sprinter 2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 that will do a great job for your bike carrier and more should you decide to tow later. This hitch model is designed for either the 144" or 170" wheelbase Sprinter vans with the factory step bumper and is a confirmed fit. I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack # BA22B-BA02B as a solid option to carry your 4 bikes for an outing. The ratcheting hooks and straps mount the bikes by the tire so there...

  • Why Cant the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack be Used on a Trailer
    The reason that the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack part # BA22B-BA02B cannot be used on the back of a trailer is because the manufacturer says not to. The reason they say not to is because of the pivot point this rack has. The amount of movement that a hitch mounted accessory on the back of a trailer is going to be faced with is far more than that of a hitch mounted accessory on the back of a vehicle. The reason for the has to due with the increased distance from the rear axle. This...

  • RockyMounts SplitRail Compared to Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Racks
    One of the biggest differences between the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack # NV22G-NA22G and the RockyMounts SplitRail part # RKY11404-4 is going to be the price. The SplitRail is less expensive. It weighs a few lbs less than the NV as well at 76 lbs compared to 86 lbs. So for those reasons I would probably go with the RockyMounts instead. Unless you really want the bike repair stand that's built into the Kuat. The other thing the Kuat wins is stability on the road. If you check out the...

  • Which Bike Rack Can Be Folded Up And Will Not Make Contact With The 2016 nx200t
    The Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX for 4 bikes or the # TH83JV measures 5" from the hitch pin hole when folded up. Since you measured 5-6" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of your bumper, this bike rack will not be able to fold up when installed on your 2016 Lexus NX 200t. The Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SA4026F measures 5-1/4" from the hitch pin hole when folded, so this may not be a great option either.

  • Bike Rack Options For A 2023 Hyundai Tucson
    Hello again Michelle. The Saris Glide EX Bike Rack # SA774 will indeed fit a 2023 Hyundai Tucson with a class 3 hitch. The tilt feature will allow the hitch to open and close normally. Saris bike racks are definitely good quality. They are all made here in the USA. I would put the quality of their racks up there with other major brands like Thule or Yakima. They are reliable, durable, and known to be user-friendly. They do come with a lifetime warranty. Generally, I do recommend using...

  • Is Kuat NV 2.0 BA22B-BA02B or Inno INH142 Tire Hold Better for 20 Inch Bikes
    The Inno Tire Hold # INH142 4-bike rack will accommodate children't bikes with 20 inch wheels or adult bikes with up to 29 inch wheels. Inno tells me that a 33 inch wheelbase bike will just fit on the rack. The Kuat NV 2.0 4-bike, part # BA22B-BA02B does not have an adapter for kid's bikes. One huge feature offered by the NV 2.0 is the add-on feature. The rearmost 2-bike portion of the rack is removable, which is handy for when only two bikes need to be carried, and the fact that the rack...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For 2020 Chrysler Pacifica
    I recommend getting a 2 inch hitch receiver because you will have plenty of capacity and can use almost any accessory in your hitch. This one # e98903 will work with both the hybrid model and the non hybrid. As far as bike racks, I recommend getting the NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B. This is the best bike rack we have in my opinion. Yes, it is a premium bike rack but it is WORTH IT! If you're wanting to get a more cost effective rack, you can get the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. Just make...

  • Saris SuperClamp EX 4 VS. Kuat NV 2.0
    I've used the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 # SA4026F and it's not my first choice, but it still is a good rack. If you're wanting a rack that I would choose over the Saris, I would go with the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B-BA02B. I like the way it looks more than the Saris option but the Kuat also has different colors. There is gray # NV22G-NA22G and metallic black # NV22B-NA22B. It has all the features that the Saris has but gives color options and overall is a better looking rack. Both are great options...
