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. It's keyed alike with the cable lock so you only need 1 key for the rack.

I really like this product so far. Easy to assemble, well engineered, well built. Makes hauling our bikes super easy. I recommend it.

Versatile and secure from road bike to ebike. Only drawback is the weight. I'm fine with it, my wife won't use it by herself.

Love it, works well for my husband while. We use this frequently and have had no issues after a year of use. Hold the bike securely.

  • How to Choose the Best E-Bike Rack
    There are a wide variety of E-Bike racks that we carry and the best way in filtering through them is by looking at these points: Weight Capacity Style/Compatibility Pricing Weight capacity is important because it can vary between bike racks. For example, the best racks (in my opinion) for E-Bikes are the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR (80 lbs per bike), the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 (65 lbs per bike), and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B (60 lbs per bike). When factoring in weight...

  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Bike Rack Recommendation for Swing Away Adapter
    No, you do not want to use the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 with the Yakima BackSwing part # Y02483 because of that 2" solid shank requirement. If your bike doesn't have a front fender then you can use the BackSwing with a rack like the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR or NV 2.0 Base # BA22B. I really like the Kuat line of bike racks because they put a lot of thought into the designs so you get great quality and easy-to-use racks. Attached are review videos of both for you to check out.

  • Will Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack Work with 5" Wide Tires?
    Hey Kim, thanks for reaching out! The Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack # KU88ZR just sits straight out so while it doesn't sit lower, it definitely doesn't rise up so I can see why you have the concern about ground clearance on a 2024 Honda Odyssey. It will work 5" wide tires though so you're definitely good on that front. Back to the height concern. There are some alternative options to get you better height so if you're afraid of ground contact then I recommend checking out the Kuat Pivot 2...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A Gazelle Ebike
    Hi Janice, With Gazelle ebikes having both front and rear fenders you'll have to go with a frame mount to avoid damaging the fender or rear basket. Since there currently isn't a frame mounted Kuat rack with a high enough capacity you'll need to go with Thule's Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE. This rack has wheel straps to secure the wheels at the base of the rack and rotating masts to grip the frame or rear wheel to completely secure the bikes. It doesn't come with a ramp but one can be ordered...

  • Differences Between Kuat NV 2.0 Base and Non-Base Model
    The Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Platform Rack, # NV22G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform rack, # BA22B. are both very similar bike racks. Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, # NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and # BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both racks have very similar specs. The NV 2.0 # NV22G does include the bike repair stand mounted on the end. The # NV22G, when installed in the hitch, will sit closer to your vehicle when folded down then the NV 2.0 Base bike rack.

  • Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack For A 2012 Ford Escape
    Hello Chris. For your 2012 Ford Escape I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # 13650. This hitch has a 2" receiver which is standard and will give you a ton of options for a bike rack. My personal favorite bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B. This rack will work with the 2" hitch and it can carry 2 bike weighing up to 60 lbs apiece. So this will work with virtually any bike, even heavier e-bikes. It will also accommodate larger tires up to 5" wide. The Kuat racks are top quality, and it...

  • Kuat Bike Rack for 2004 Toyota RAV4 That Can Clear Rear Spare
    Hey Greg, so the hitches that we offer for your 2004 Toyota RAV4 like the Curt # C13524 have a distance of 10 inches from their hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare. So you need a hitch bike rack that has at least 10 inches from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray. The Kuat NV Base part # BA22B would work for this as it has this distance at 11-3/4 inches. The Kuat Transfer V2 part # KU84FR does not have quite the clearance needed as-is but I wouldn't...

  • Can the Kuat NV # BA22B Be Used on Bikes With Front Fenders
    As long as the fender is tightly installed on the bike and the hook is attached to the fender as close as possible to the top tube of the bike, the # BA22B should carry the town bike you mentioned with no problem whatsoever. I spoke with one of my contacts at Kuat, who uses the very same rack to carry his wife's bike that has fenders, and he says it works very well. The inside of the hooks are padded, but you can place a towel or other piece of cloth between the hook and the fender if...

  • Bike Rack for Two 60 lb E-bikes for 2009 Toyota Rav4
    I have two great options for you. The first is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR. It's super heavy-duty and has a weight capacity of 70lbs per bike. If you fold down the arm and take your bikes off, there is enough clearance to access and open the hatch of your Rav4. This rack is amazing for rugged, heavy duty riding. This rack just makes me feel secure that my heavy E-bikes are held up well. I attached a video below so you can see it in action on a 2020 Toyota Rav4. The second...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2023 Toyota Crown Limited And Recommended Installer
    Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. The Curt Class 3 Hitch # C77ZV is what I recommend for your 2023 Toyota Crown Limited. The hitch itself will not interfere with the safety systems and it will not invalidate any warranty. With a bike rack installed, you may see some interference with the backup sensor. The sensor will detect the bike rack and it will think there is an object behind the car. You can just ignore the alert, or you can turn it off. You would have to turn it off each...

  • Is the Thule T2 Pro XTRO Compatible with the Draw-Tite # DT73RR for a 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon?
    Yes, the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B has 6-5/8 inches from the center of the pinhole to the closest part of the rack when folded up. With that measurement, it will be close, but you do have 5/8 inches past your rear bumper if you are using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch - 2" # DT73RR.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2019 Ford F-250 with 2-1/2 Inch Hitch
    For your 2019 Ford F-250, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack part # BA22B which will do an excellent job with your two e-bikes. The Kuat NV 2.0 is one of the more quality, well made bike racks on the market. It has a wheel mount design so it won't be a problem with your lack of a horizontal frame tube and it has a 60 lb per bike weight capacity. The main reason however that I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 is because it has a one-piece 2" shank. The majority of bike racks...

  • How to Reduce Wobble of a Kuat Bike Rack in a TorkLift EcoHitch Receiver
    I am not sure which Kuat bike rack you are using with your TorkLift EcoHitch but I do know that all the Kuat bike racks come with some sort of anti-wobble device. Some of them have a threaded hitch pin like part # KU74FR while others have the system built-in to the bike rack and you tighten it with a knob like part # BA22B. Either way, the first step to helping with that wobble is making sure that you have the device tightened properly. If you didn't tighten the threaded hitch pin or...

    We would not consider your 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 to be an RV, we consider it to be a passenger van for hitch bike rack compatibility. You will not have any issues with the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black, part # BA22B, installed on your van.

The photo you are referencing is from the linked installation video of this trailer hitch on a 2017 Durango.

  • Recommended Bike Rack and Fat Tire Adapter That Will fit 4.8 Tires
    There are some great bike racks and racks with adapters that will work with your 4.8" tires, though the Kuat Transfer 2 # KU74FR will only accept tires up to 4.5" wide with the adapter. I highly recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B, which comes with an adapter to carry one fat bike with 4.8" tires, though if you needed to carry a pair of fat bikes you could add the Phat Bike Adapter Kit for Kuat Bike Racks # APBK. The Kuat NV is a premium rack that uses ratcheting hooks to grasp...

  • Best Expandable Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Ford Explorer Carrying Carbon Frame Bikes
    For carbon framed bikes you need to carry them with a bike rack that only touches the bikes by the tires since the frame material is delicate and easily damaged. So for that you could use the very popular and easy to use Kuat NV part # BA22B which is widely considered to be the best bike rack for carbon bikes. Then when you are ready to expand it to a 4-bike rack you'd just need the part # BA02B and you'd be set.

  • Tail Light Kit For Kuat NV Base Bike Rack
    The LED light kit # 98174LED and bracket # BK70BB is for a cargo carrier like this one # C18152. It will not attach to your Nv 2.0 # BA22B without rigging it up. Your best bet is to get something like the magnetic tow lights # PE26UR. These will connect to your 4 pole on your vehicle and will attach to your roof via magnets. This light kit won't interfere with your bike cover as the others may. Keeping the lights on your roof rather than your bike rack will be much more visible too.

    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.

  • 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...

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 Fit 2017 Jeep Wrangler with 2 Receiver Extension Being Used
    It is possible to use an extender like the 7" Brophy # HE06 so that the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B clears the tire on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler but even with it clearing the spare tire you wouldn't have complete access to your rear hatch area. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack is 11-3/4" so just add 7" to that measurement to get an idea of where the bike rack will sit. If rear hatch access is something that you are wanting/needing then we still have a solution...

  • Can Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack Be Used on a 2-1/2 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Hitch Receiver
    The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR won't secure properly to the adapter you're talking about. It's a great rack and I love the anti-rattle system, but the anti-rattle is built to essentially brace itself inside the receiver and then there is a small security pin to help keep things lined up (see attached photo), but in your setup that security pin would be the thing holding the spacer/reducer and the rack wasn't designed to operate like that. For an alternative option I recommend using...
