Rotating Arms with Ratcheting Wheel Hooks

Kuat NV22G ratcheeting wheel hooks

The NV 2.0 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 NV22G sliding wheel cradles with ratcheting strapsKuat NV22G sliding wheel cradles with ratcheting straps

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 Wheel Cradles with Ratcheting Straps

Kuat NV22G sliding wheel cradles with 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 NV22G hitch tightening adjustment knob

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.


Built-In Repair Stand

Kuat NV22G built-in repair stand

The Trail Doc is 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.


Kuat NV22G adjustable built-in stand

A spring-loaded clamp grabs your bike by the seat post or top tube. It has a soft, rubber coating that won't scratch your bike's paint. The rotating clamp arm lets you adjust the angle of your bike and the locking collar secures your bike at the desired height.


Tool-Free Installation with Anti-Rattle Device

Kuat NV22G 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 NV22G integrated cable lock

The NV 2.0 includes integrated cable locks that lets you secure your bikes to the rack. A 1/4" thick, braided steel cable extends from each wheel tray, threads through your bike's frame, and locks back onto itself.


Kuat NV22G integrated cable lock

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.

  • Will Trailer Hitch Installation on 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata Void Warranty
    You are actually covered by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act which states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question. This means that unless the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11435 that you referenced is the reason that you are needing repairs on your 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata the dealer has to honor the warranty. If you...

  • Does Kuat Bike Rack Lock HLT Fit Kuat NV12G
    The Kuat NV # NV12G that you have has an anti-rattle device built into main tube of the rack. There's a handle underneath the main assembly of the rack that when you tighten pushes a wedge out into the hitch tube to hold it tight and prevent movement. That's why there aren't any threads in the shank of the rack of the rack for the # HLT to attach to. It can fit into the shank of the rack like you found but it won't offer an advantage over the hitch lock that came with your rack. This fits...

  • Recommended 2 Bike Rack for a 2013 Kia Sorento
    If you are looking for a top-of-the-line 2 bike rack to use with your 2013 Kia Sorento then I recommend going with the Kuat NV 2.0. This bike rack will fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver with part # NV12G or a 2 inch receiver with part # NV22G. Not only does the NV 2.0 offer a very sleek look, but it also comes with a built-in bike repair stand, has bike and hitch locks to secure your bikes and bike rack, plus it secures the bikes by their wheels instead of frame so that it can accommodate a wide...

  • Suggestions for Class I Hitch Compatible Bike Rack for 65 lb Fat Tire E Bikes
    If you can reduce the weight of each bike to 50 lbs or less by removing the battery packs, the Thule T2 Classic, part # TH9045 would be ideal. The rack is compatible with a Class I hitch, and can accommodate 2 bikes weighing up to 50 lbs each with tires up to 5 inches wide. If removing the battery packs would reduce the weight of your bikes to 60 lbs or less, the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV12G would be a good alternative once the # APBK fat bike adapter kit is added. You'd need one adapter...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2013 Ford C-Max and Two 58 Pound Electric Bikes
    We have two hitches available for your C-Max. We have the Curt Class II hitch # C12092 that has the 1-1/4" opening and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7200 that has the 2" opening. There are several bike racks that can accept two 58 pound bikes and are also compatible with the available trailer hitches for your vehicle. The Kuat NV # NV12G is one option. It has a capacity of 60 pounds per bike and is a wheel mount so you step-through will not be a problem. With this rack, you...

  • Best Bike Rack for Class 1, 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch and E-Bike With Fenders Weighing Over 60 lbs
    We do have one solution for you, but using the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV12G with your 63 lb E-bike that has fenders is not something I recommend. The first reason is the weight capacity, with the NV 2.0 having a 60 lb per bike capacity, which your bike exceeds. And I supposed the tire tube solution will work if Kuat mentioned it, but I can't imagine that would provide the best support when securing your bike or that your fenders would not be damaged at all. The only bike rack...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Mini Cooper For Kuat Bike Rack
    I feel that the best option for you will be to go with a different bike rack. Currently there are only 1-1/4" receivers available for your 2019 Mini Cooper. Kuat does have bike racks that are specifically designed to work with the 1-1/4" receiver that is available for your 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman.

  • Can Class I Hitch Carry 50 lb Bike Rack and 2 Mountain Bikes
    The class I hitches for your 2018 Honda HR-V have a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. So with a 50 lb bike rack you'd have 150 lbs of capacity left over. The Kuat NV part # NV12G that you referenced weighs 52 lbs and is one of the nicest bike racks available. It has a 60 lb per bike capacity as well plus a built in repair stand as well. So this would be under the 200-lb limit. However, we now have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. It has a 300...

  • Comparing Draw Tite and Curt Hitches for 2019 Honda Odyssey for Carrying Bike Rack
    The Curt hitch part # C1275 and the Draw Tite part # 36633 that both fit your 2019 Honda Odyssey are both great Class II hitch options. Neither would have the advantage in terms of visibility but we've found that the Curt hitches tend to have a tougher powder coat finish and overall an edge in terms of overall quality control so the Curt would be my recommendation. This would work great with a 1-1/4 inch hitch Kuat bike rack like the NV2.0 part # NV12G.

  • Comparing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for a Bike Rack with a 2019 Subaru Forester
    As you have probably noted, the main differences between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36671 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76271 for your 2019 Subaru Forester is that part # 36671 has a 1-1/4" receiver while part # 76271 has a 2" receiver. Aside from that the 2" option has a higher tongue weight capacity at 525 lbs whereas the 1-1/4" option has a 350 lb tongue weight rating. I always recommend going with the 2" receiver when it is available simply because it allows you to use a wider variety...

  • Availability of Bike Ramp for Loading E-Bike on Kuat Sherpa 2.0
    Your concerns are definitely valid because the Access Ramp # ANVBRB was designed specifically for the NV 2.0 and it won't fit the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. If you really like your Sherpa 2.0 then your best option is to upgrade to the NV 2.0 so that you can load your E-Bike easier. Aside from the adding the ability to use the ramp you probably need to upgrade anyways because the Sherpa 2.0 has a bike weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike and most E-Bikes weigh in around 55 lbs. Even if you took the...

  • Best Fat Tire E-Bike Bike Racks for Class 1 Trailer Hitch
    The Kuat NV 2.0 is one of the most versatile bike racks out there. It is class 1 compatible so it works on your vehicles hitch, has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike and is one of the most well built bike racks I have used. You will need to pick up two of the fat bike adapter kits Part # APBK to get around tires up to 4.8" . Fat tire E-Bikes can get up there in weight so make sure to check the weight of your bikes and make sure you're not overloading your hitch or vehicle. You can...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And Bike Rack For 2 Electric Bikes On 2004 Mazda 3
    I have an option for you, but they only trailer hitch receivers available for your 2004 Mazda 3 are 1-1/4". I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11386 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. Instead of using an adapter that would reduce your tongue weight rating by 50% you will need a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I hitch, and has a high enough weight capacity. The only bike rack we offer...

  • How to Carry Electric Bikes With 2010 Toyota Prius & 2018 Kia Soul
    Ok, we can get either your 2010 Toyota Prius or 2018 Kia Soul set up to carry electric bikes, but you are correct that there isn't an option for a Class II, 1-1/4 inch hitch for either vehicle. That said, you can still carry your electric bikes, and to do so you have a couple of options. One is to use the Hollywood rack with a 2 inch EcoHitch trailer hitch, OR you can use a different bike rack compatible with the available Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches. I'll go ahead and list out the options...

  • Adapter to Use a 2 Inch Kuat NV in a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    The question is not moronic, it actually comes up frequently, so no worries! There are adapters that allow you to use 2 inch accessories in a 1-1/4 inch hitch such as # HTAD. However, the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. That means that the combined weight of the bikes and bike rack cannot exceed the reduced tongue weight capacity of the hitch. If you do not already have the bike rack Kuat does have versions of the NV 2.0 that...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Hyundai Elantra
    For your 2021 Hyundai Elantra, we have the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT75MR. This is a class I hitch capable of towing a maximum GTW of 2,000lbs, and a maximum TW of 200 lbs. Since you mentioned you aren't going to be towing, and you were needing a hitch to haul your bikes, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV12G. This rack is capable of supporting 2 bikes weighing up to 60lbs each, which should be more than enough capacity to carry two standard bikes.

  • Recommended Platform Bike Carrier For 2016 Nissan Rogue
    Thank you for choosing etrailer.com, for your trailer hitch. The biggest issue with the Transfer is that it would not be able to be folded up. The Rogue has about 5-3/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole of the Draw-Tite # 75902 to the back of the rear bumper. The Transfer has 5 inches. If you never plan on folding the bike carriers up then either carrier would work for you. The bike carrier I recommend for you is the Kuat NV 2 Bike Platform Rack, part # NV12G. When folded...

  • Solution for Stabilizing Hitch Connection with Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
    The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV12G does have an integrated anti-rattle wedge that deploys from the shank when tightening the knob but you can certainly add an additional device for even more stability at this connection. For this I recommend taking a look at the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125. This is designed for 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers and works to eliminate that rattle and movement by sliding over the bike rack's shank and hooking the U-bolt around the collar of the...

  • Can the Curt Stabilization Strap be Used on a Platform Style Kuat Bike Carrier
    The Kuat NV, # NV12G as an example, and the Sherpa, # SH12B as examples, are platform style carriers that hold the bikes at the wheels and would not be the best bike racks when using stabilization strap # 18050 with a Curt trailer hitch # C11471 on your 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Curt does not provide instructions on how you would attach the strap to this type of bike rack so you would basically need to attach it anywhere that you could. The other option is to use Draw-Tite trailer hitch #...

    There is definitely a bike rack that will work for you, but the first thing you'll need is a hitch if you do not already have one. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2005 Volvo S60. For a 2-bike platform rack that will work with a women's titanium bike and lightweight electric bike I strongly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12B.

    I have a great solution for you. The ramp on the Yakima OnRamp - 1-1/4" # Y96FR measures about 2 inches. However, I confirmed with Yakima that your bike with 2-1/2 inch tires will work just fine. They will just ride the side of the lips of the ramp when loading. If you want a ramp that fully accommodates the tires on your bike, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount # NV12G along with the Access Ramp for Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # ANVBRB.

Here are my recommendations for your 2009 Honda Fit with a 1-1/4" receiver for both categories. For the platform style we have the Kuat NV 2.0 which comes in Gunmetal Gray # NV12G and Metallic Black # NV12B.
