Question:
What is the weight capacity on the Kuat NV original version, not the 2.0?

Expert Reply:
According to my available specs on the discontinued Kuat NV, the weight capacity on that rack is 60 pounds per bike. This is the same capacity as the 2.0 version.
However, I strongly recommend the newer 2.0 version # NV22G over the previous model. This is because the 2.0 has the foot-release lever and can accommodate wider bike tires. Additionally, the arms that attach to the bikes were redesigned to allow them to glide more smoothly. Another great addition is that the locking hitch pin on the 2.0 does not require a wrench to attach and remove each time.
I went ahead and attached a demo video of the 2.0 to this answer for you to check out.
