Question:
From what I can see the only differences between the racks is the finish color, and the repair stand. Am I missing anything?

Expert Reply:
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,as you stated, the bike repair stand. The # NV22G, when installed in the hitch, will sit closer to your vehicle when folded down then the NV 2.0 Base bike rack.
Both racks would be excellent choices for a platform style bike rack. Of the two, I like the NV 2.0 Base model because of this bike rack's economical price over the Kuat # NV22G.
