Kuat Hitch Bike Rack - BA22B-BA02B

Protect Every Frame: Ratcheting wheel hooks hold bikes by the tires—no frame contact.

Features to know about

Built to Handle the Heavy Stuff: 60 lb Capacity Per Bike (2-Bike Mode)

Big rides need steady support. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base hauls up to 4 bikes—40 lbs each when fully loaded, or 60 lbs per bike when running the 2-bike setup. That means e-bikes, fat tires, and full-suspension builds ride secure without pushing the limit. The lightweight aluminum frame keeps things strong yet manageable, and the matte black powder coat adds a clean, rust-resistant finish that holds up over time.

Easy Loading Without Frame Contact: Ratcheting Wheel Hooks and Adjustable Cradles

Paint jobs and carbon frames stay untouched thanks to the ratcheting wheel hooks that secure bikes by the front wheel only. Large front wheel cradles and sliding rear straps adjust to fit different wheelbases up to 50". The included fat-tire strap handles tires up to 5.0" wide, so you can load anything from a skinny road wheel to a full winter setup.

Rear Access Without the Hassle: Foot-Operated Tilt and Fold Mechanism

When you’ve got the rack loaded, the spring-loaded foot lever makes it easy to tilt the setup down for trunk or cargo access. It’s accessible even when bikes are mounted and lets you keep both hands free to control the rack. Once unloaded, it folds upright to save space—no awkward reaching or wrestling required.

Lock It and Leave It: Integrated Security for Bikes and Rack

Each wheel tray hides a built-in cable lock that loops through your bike frame, backed up by a locking hitch pin that secures the rack itself. Add matching lock cores (sold separately) if you want one key for everything. Together, they keep your gear locked tight whether you’re grabbing coffee or camping overnight.

Switch Between Family Rides and Solo Trips: Convertible 4-Bike Setup

When you don’t need all four trays, the NV 2.0 Base quickly converts to a 2-bike rack. Just remove four bolts with the included Allen tool and store the add-on section. It’s the same rack that handles big family weekends and quick weekday rides, built to adapt with zero fuss.

This rack definitely has some pros and cons (as do most racks). A minor frustration is that despite ordering the rack and add-on at the same time, the keys don’t match so if locking three or more bikes you need two different keys (this has only really irritated me when it was raining). As other reviewers have mentioned, this thing is heavy. Neither my wife nor kids can lift it to put it on or get it off the car by themselves. The downside is that given the size of the rack it is not real convenient to just leave it on the car. When the rack is in the up position, it is impossible to get in the back so it is necessary to lower the rack each time you want to get in. The other downside is that the rack significantly cuts down on visibility when backing up. All that being said, the rack is rock solid and the bikes are very secure. The rack is great for extended trips. When loaded and tipped down, it is great to be able to open and access the back. The spacing of the bikes is great and I don’t have to spend 15 minutes figuring out how to slide four bikes in just the right spot to make them all fit as I did with my old rack. Best of all the bikes are only sustaining damage on the trail, not on the back of the car! Despite some minor annoyances, I highly recommend this rack. As for assembly, my 13 year old put it together by himself in about 20 minutes (I promised him i would include that fact).

In the past year we have had some bike upgrades. With three or four modern mountain bikes of a similar size on the rack it is more of a challenge to make them fit. I need to have an allen wrench handy to adjust the bars andor seats for travel. Other than that, the rack has held up great with heavy and frequent use.

We needed to move up from our Saris Bones 3 rack now that our youngest is on a big girl bike. We initially went for a budget platform rack which was (not surprisingly) subjected to a recall. After an incredible amount of research, I opted for the Kuat NV 2.0 Base. I took advantage of the etrailer price pledge program and was very satisfied with the etrailer staff who were very easy to deal with both on the phone and online.

Following my order, etrailer inadvertently sent me the incorrect base model. The sent me the 1.25 inch instead of 2.0 inch model and as the shipping label covered the hitch size I only discovered this after opening and unpacking it (thereby having to repack and re-ship it). This inconvenience notwithstanding, etrailer was very apologetic, paid for the return shipping and sent out the correct 2.0 inch model.

Unpacking and assembly was easy (the second time...and I learned the valuable lesson of taking photos of the unpacking in the event you need to repack it). You certainly get what you pay for with Kuat! The fit and finish are first rate and the rack's design, in my opinion, makes it the most intuitive, cleanest and best looking rack out there. I was considering the RockyMounts Split Rail 2+2 (similar design and athletics and a bit lighter) but I am so glad I went with Kuat.

I mounted it on my 06 Pilot today in less than 5 minutes with my wife's help (though it can be accomplished solo), locked the pin and tightened the anti-rattle mechanism for a rock solid mount. All bikes fit on it like a dream (my 29er, wife's mountain bike and 2 kids mountain bikes...have not tried by road bike yet but I don't anticipate any issues).

Very impressed with the rack and my etrailer experience.

With a SUV we didn't want to hoist our bikes on the roof (we are rather short in our family), so we looked for a hitch rack that could fit our 4 bikes.
The NV base + the addon works great at this.
Assembly is not the easiest since it can be tricky to get the bolts to line up while holding in place, if you have another person to help that will make it tons easier.
Loading and unloading a bike is very easy and so far the bikes are always securely on without any issue.
The locks are ok, nothing fancy, and nothing that will stop a determined thief, I consider them mostly a "slow them down a little" item.
My only gripe is how heavy it is. We live in the city and plan on removing it from the car while not in use, and that is a bit of a chore with how heavy it is.
Overall if you are looking for a great 4 bike hitch bike, can't really go wrong with it

Quality bike rack. Easy to put together and install. Very solid. Keeps bikes secure and doesn’t bounce around unlike my Thule bike rack. I purchased this rack after almost losing new mountain bikes as I was driving from the carrier bouncing around. It also has integrated cable locks. I bought the additional extension to carry up to 4 bikes. The only criticism is that the extension uses a different type of cable lock with a different key.

First, trying to find the proper rack for my needs was a little tough. Have two emtb along with regular mtb. Weight and wheelbase were a factor with a lot of the other 4 bikes racks. The Kuat rack was able to accommodate. etrailer has so much info that sometimes its too much. I had to [search for] their cs number and just call to talk with one of their reps.
Stephen R. took my call and was awesome. We looked at a few options before choosing the Kuat. It was supposed to be delivered in about 5-7 days, but came in 2.
The rack is easy to put together and looks great. It was a hard pill to swallow for this much money, but after seeing the quality I felt much better.
This does fit my 2018 Jeep Wrangler jk unlimited with a spare tire. Have BF Goodrich and it will still fold up. You cannot open the rear while attached though.
Rack was great on our first trip of 200 miles.
Bikes stayed secure and did not rub.

Thanks Stephen R. and etrailer.

I worked with Katie and she's amazing! Her knowledge of the available products was deep and very helpful, she made the process of ordering the bike rack very easy, she followed up post sale to make sure all was okay. Five stars for sure!

The Kuat NV 2 was fairly easy to put together (need an extra set of hands) and my fat tire bike fits it perfectly. Great quality and I'm VERY happy with the rack. Bike doesn't move at all while underway.

When I ordered this rack, I was thinking " Wow, this is a lot of money for a bike rack." Now that its assembled and I loaded it with 4 bike's (don't ask me what the bike's cost) I'm thinking "Wow, this is a lot of bike rack for the money". Awesome product and customer service.

This is a great bike rack. Admittedly it's my first platform based trailer hitch rack, but I have no complaints. it's easy to use, built like a tank and looks cool. I like all the features it has as well, like the built in cable locks. They're not Kryptonite grade by any means, but it's a deterrent at least. So far the arms are still stiff enough not to fall over on their own, which was something I was initially concerned about.

by: Bg 07/31/2020 One Year Later

The rack is heavy and somewhat cumbersome due to the weight to attach to your hitch mount. If you have mountain bikes, be aware that with the longer bar widths and dropper post setup it will take some finessing when loading 4 bikes. The conversion from a 4 bike carrier to 2 Bike is also cumbersome due to the bolts that have to be unthreaded.

by: Michael 10/13/2022 One Year Later

The Kuat bike rack has preformed better than expected. We are applying the rack to some very busy commercial demand, far exceeding the wear and tear of a single family situation. I would highly recommend this product.

It would nice to have electric marker lights that illuminate when the bike rack is in the service position.

by: Sara 09/22/2022

Like the ability to add the second part for 4 bikes total. The locking feature works well. Works for mountain bike tires the best. The ratcheting clamp for road bike tires seems to wear on the bike tires but we use a pool noodle cut to size, split it down one-half of the center and place it over the clamp between it and the tire to prevent the wearing. The distance between bikes is good for road bikes but a little snug for the mountain bikes as handle bars and seats tend to rub a bit.

by: David 04/24/2021

There was a hiccup during the installation process. One of the center bolts from the add-on had slightly bigger diameter on thread that it didn't fit in. I called for customer support to arrange for a new bolt replacement which I desperately needed for a planned bike trip. Allison helped out a lot to expedite the process and Kuat was also able to ship it quickly so that the part arrived one night before my trip. I was able to enjoy the new new bike rack for the trip if it weren't from the great customer support of etrailer and Kuat!
The bike rack carries all bikes through bumpy roads without any problem. It's really sturdy and easy to use. Love the tilting feature so I can open the hatch easily.

by: AJ 05/25/2021

I used the base 2-bike rack once already, and it is solid and sturdy. I haven't added the +2 rack yet, but I did get one 20" adapter in both boxes. No need to buy them for smaller kid bikes! Assembly would have been easier with another set of hands but manageable solo using things to hold up pieces while getting the screws threaded. Using hex socket and ratchet way to go over the included hex key. Fits TJ perfectly with aftermarket tire carrier/receiver and 33"x10.5 spare tire. Crazy fast shipping, my estimated delivery date is in 3 days and I already had it a week!

We literally could not be happier with Etrailer! We placed an order at 6:30pm on a Wednesday and at 8:30pm the same evening we got an email saying “thank you! Ypur Order has been shipped” it was here on our porch on Friday. I couldn’t believe it. Unbelievable customer service, QUALITY (we love our hitch and bike rack!) and better prices than I’ve seen anywhere else.

by: David 04/25/2019

The rack shipped timely and box was slightly damaged. Kuat really packages their items well and nothing inside was damaged. The rack was very easy to put together. I purchased the add on, which was also easy to connect. Even though it’s considered light for a 4 bike platform it’s still got some weight to it. I was able to lift it with no problem and attached it to our Honda Pilot. Wow, it was so nice and easy to load my bikes. You then turn the stabilizer knob to prevent it was swaying and off you go. It’s easy to lower and raise. It’s well made and I am glad we bought it. I really like the fact that it’s aluminum and easy to adjust for various bikes.

This is am excellent bike rack. It is very easy to mount and dismount multiple bikes. It is a bit heavy especially with the 2 additional bike extension.

by: Bobby 11/28/2017

Awesome bike platform. Assembly instructions are straightforward (although I brought it down to a UHaul dealer to assemble for $20 tip - they were installing the hitch anyway).

It's very easy to use, sturdy with hardly any sway. The ordering and delivery was easy and quick and the price on etrailer was extremely competitive!

by: Sean 02/13/2019 One Year Later

One of the locks didn’t work at first. Kuat customer service was attentive and helpful. They sent me parts to fix it promptly as it was my preference.

The rack is fantastic. Durable, easy to use, good looking, locks are secure, and doesn’t rattle around at all.

While heavy and expensive, this rack is the best bike rack we have ever owned. It holds the bikes securely and well away from each other, preventing scratching. I love the feature where you can tighten the rack into the receiver and it's rock solid. This is one quality piece of gear. In this case, you get what you pay for.

We purchased this same product from etrailer.com some time ago. It was stolen, along with our old Toyota FJ Cruiser last year. So we purchased another (same) bike rack from etrailer.com.

Their web site, service and promptness are excellent. Also, and most iimportant, their prices are good.

We highly recommend them.

Also, as an avid bicylist for 40 years, the Kuat bike rack ROCKS !

etrailer.com had the best price anywhere.

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 2" receiver will allow you to have a larger selection of bike racks available to fit your situation. The T-One...

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.

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...

I looked up the Rad Power Wagon, that spec shows a weight of 77 lbs. and depending on which model of the step through, those can weigh almost 70 lbs.

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...

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...

Can Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender Be Used with Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Rack
Yes, the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender # HL20B can be used with your Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Rack like # BA22B-BA02B. The only thing you will want to keep in mind is that the adapter does reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. For example if the hitch on your Jeep has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, this will be reduced to 175 pounds when using the Hi-Lo Extender. This means the combined weight of the NV Carrier (around 82 pounds) and your loaded bikes can't...

Can Kuat NV 2.0 Convert From 4-Bike to 2-Bike Carrier?
I'd be happy to confirm for you that yes, the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack # BA22B-BA02B can indeed convert from a 4-bike carrier to a 2-bike carrier. To do this, there are 4 hex head bolts that you remove with an Allen key (which is included) and slide it right out. As for your bikes fitting so long as they are between 25" and 29" they will be fine.

Will Add-on for Kuat NV Fit the Kuat NV 2.0
The add-on from the original Kuat NV will not fit on the new NV 2.0 # NV22G. The add-on for the NV 2.0 is # NA22G. Or they can be purchased together with # NV22G-NA22G. Another model is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B. It's very similar to the NV 2.0 except it extends slightly further from the vehicle when installed and does not include the bike repair stand. It also has an available add-on to 4 bikes using # BA02B or to purchase both together use # BA22B-BA02B.

Is There a Loading Ramp Add-On for the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack
I have an alternative solution for you but as of right now (July 2022) Saris hasn't come out with a loading ramp for the MHS modular bike rack. For a wheel-mount bike rack that has an add-on ramp available we have the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # BA22B-BA02B which is compatible with the Access Ramp # ANVBRB but the weight capacity is reduced to 40 lbs per bike with the 4-bike setup. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base is definitely a solid choice in a bike rack but the MHS is a specialty...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Vertical Load Limit On A 2020 Tesla Model X
It seems that you're talking about tongue weight as it is the downward force or the "vertical load" on the hitch. 120lbs is way to light to be the gross trailer weight rating. That being said, the Draw-Tite # 76143 2 inch hitch will fit your 2020 Tesla Model X. It has a gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. This is how heavy your trailer can be to tow. It has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs (Downward vertical force on hitch). This hitch is a lot stronger and can handle heavier accessories...
