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.
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.



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.



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.


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.

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.
