Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black
I've taken this rack all over New England on the front of my Dodge Ram 3500 pick up truck with a truck camper. I had no idea it was possible to love a bike rack so much. After one drive I didn't ever worry about it again. So nice that it locks up when I am camping or taking a quick stop for food on the road. So glad I bought it from etrailer. They totally help me pick the perfect rack for my challenging set up.
Still very new, but what an awesome bike rack! Assembly was a snap and the rack is rock-solid when you secure it to the hitch receiver. etrailer was amazing too - excellent communication, price and fast, free delivery. Overall I am extremely happy with the rack and service!

Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
I have been shopping for a new "travel trailer" approved bike rack that wouldn't break the bank. This is a very well made bike rack by Kuat that fit my particular application. I did add a hitch extender to my bumper receiver so the bike rack can be folded with the spare tire also on the rear bumper. I also have 2 "anti rattle" devices that locks everything down from hitch to rack. That and the internal cam device that is included in the rack makes for a very secure receiver to rack connection. No movement what-so-ever from bumper to rack. However, there is still a lot of movement and sway once the bikes are loaded. I don't think this is avoidable in any type of rear bumper bike rack. Therefore, I will still be adding extra tie downs to help eliminate any extra sway of the bikes while travelling. Lots of movement on the rear end of a travel trailer. Pros: Well built, U shaped design and tilt feature for easier bike loading and unloading. Nice cable lock. Great company reputation for quality bike racks. Cons: My rack came with no paper assembly directions or itemized parts list. Just a "QR" barcode to scan that had the wrong assembly direction. Fortunately, I found a great YouTube video that showed step by step out-of-box assembly directions and installation instructions. A little challenging for us older not so tech oriented senior citizens. Took a little longer to assemble then expected. Travel trailer: Outdoor RV, mountain series, 22QFS.
We love this bike rack. We bought a couple ebikes and needed something we could use behind our travel trailer when camping and the truck when we just want to drive to some trails. When we were looki g, many can't be used behind travel trailers. We absolutely love the way its built - its sturdy, high quality, pretty easy to put together - good instructions. Love the tilting feature - use one foot - very easy. Love that it comes with the cable lock for the bikes, It is very adjustable for a wide range of bikes. We have step throughs. We did buy a hitch lock for extra security. We would recommend this rack to anyone.
What our customers are saying:
