Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you but the Kuat NV 2.0 like part # NV22G and Kuat Sherpa 2.0 like part # SH22G are both wheel mount bike racks so they should not be used with a bike that has fenders. For a similar quality bike rack that can be used with a bike that has fenders I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2 Bike Rack part # HR1450Z which is a frame mount bike rack.

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider is actually one of my favorite bikes racks because it will work with a wide variety of different bike types like your Trek Verve+. The Sport Rider only weighs around 48 lbs, can carry a bike up to 50 lbs, has a raised shank for vehicle's with poor ground clearance, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. This bike rack is very sturdy behind the vehicle and it comes with locks for both the bikes and rack.
