Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Review

Best and simple video review!!!! Thanks for this.

"when you take your roadbike out on the trail"... LOL. Why not show your mountain bike on the "tool arm"?

We bought the ramp for it also.

We just bought this bike carrier today for our 2 E-bikes.

Great video, thanks for making it. The only thing that would be great would be to have someone film it going down a bumpy road with the bikes on. Ha! I made this comment as you were signing off, didn’t see you added that at the very end 😅

What is the maximum size of tire it will accommodate?

I just bought this rack can’t wait to use it good video

Hey wondering if you can open the tail gate on your ute when this is down with bikes on?

Great video which made me buy this very bike rack. Still waiting to pick it up at REI. About the video, I found the background music very distracting. Other than that, good review.

Picked one up over the weekend - Impressed by the build - the appearance is amazing! Great video.

Will the holder rotate to hold the seat post if you don't have a cross bar?

I am concerned about front fenders.

How much does that rack weigh empty?

I have a 2.0 and everything you pointed out is accurate and by far the best rack I have ever owned!!! Well worth the $$.

Hi, I just got the Kuat NV 2 and I would like to know how you unlock the bike lock when the time comes.

I would be careful about leaving it on the vehicle where they use road salt or chemicals to melt snow.

I purchased the newest model - the Piston Pro-X. Fantastic.

I have the original Sherpa.. i whish i didn't have it so i can buy this one.

I have a fender attached to the fork. Can the hook/clamp be placed on the arch of the fork and the fork compressed slightly when ratcheting the hook into place?

Can the bike stand hold the seat tube as opposed to the top tube?

Thanks! Just concerned that the locking mechanism starts scratching the top of the fork. Is that a real situation?

Great clear video!

YIKES!! Please Do not clamp your top tube or seat tubes!!! turn the kuat clamp and clamp only the seatpost!

I have a fox 38 fork, which is a little fatter and say a 36. Any issue with the front rubbing the fork when mounted on the rack?

You imply that the bike is made in the USA, but it is actually made in China.

This rack is the best bicycle accessory that I've ever purchased, it's worth every penny!!

Really thorough, complete and clear review. I wondered why these are so expensive. Now I can see why. Hint...ditch the annoying background music.

With the bikes off and the rack tilted down to the lowest position are you able to put your tailgate down all the way?

Looks like great rack. It does block the view of a bumper mounted license plate and in PA that's not legal. Are there any provisions for relocating the license plate to the back of the rack?

Nice video! Used to be an avid cyclist and live in the Spfd. area. I have ridden ALL over. My wife and I just bought ebikes...to try to get back into cycling. Bought a Kuat NV 2.0 to haul them. Great rack!!

My bike has fenders. So how would that work with that clamp that you put over the front wheel? On my bike the fenders would be in the way. Is there a work around for that?

Helpful review! Does the locking bar on the front wheel rub on the forks or frame during transport?

Great review/explanation. I just got my Kuat and I learned some things from your video.

Will the work station work with a mountain bike? My frame is carbon so I would have to attach to the seat post.

Don’t own one yet, but I’m completely sold on it. I can PTFE powder coat my chain before rolling up to bike drop off (Ironman events).

Loved your presentation and how easy you made it appear. We just bought the same rack and are loving it!

I have the Kuat NV 2.0 for our Gazelle ebikes. We also own a Saris Superclamp EX and a coupe Thule Insta-Gater Pro truck bed racks for when we pull out travel trailer. The Kuat is our favorite go to rack It has extra room between bikes so pedals and kick stands don’t rub. The Saris is a little tighter fit for the bikes. The Kuat ramp accessory is super helpful loading heavier ebikes and is well made like the rack.

I really wanted to get the Sherpa but having the option to add more bikes sold me on this

Just bought one today and pit together, very impressed, nice job on evaluation

Did you buy a Kuat rack after watching this video? Reply to this comment and let me know.

Great review man, thing is a tank

I was not able to see your license plate? In my state, there must be a "clear view" of the license plate. How will you be able to overcome this when using your rack, loaded with bicycles?

I just purchased the NV 2.0. I'll know how to use it now that I watched your video. Thank you for the review!

Thanks for the review buddy, whats to stop someone stealing the rack? can you lock it into the hitch?

Are the straps still to short for 4 inch tires or did they change that?

Just got the Kuat NV 2.0 but with a 1 & 1/4” receiver because that’s the only hitch i can get. Noticed the receiver & tightening knob are different.. any feedback on that one? i have an eMTB and those can easily reach 50lbs. looks like the 1. 1/4 also rated for 60lbs per bike., hoping that’s true !

Just purchased the NV 2.0 today. Haven’t yet installed it but it appears to be a well-designed, robust rack. We’re in the process of acquiring E-bikes; this rack is designed to hold two bikes at 60 lbs. each. Thanks for the video!

"not an awkward spot"...put your bikes on it. Kuat needs to fix that with a handle like other top brands have. It is its Achilles heal!

Just a suggestion: write a script and do some research: Powder Coat (know the process-simple), I think they have a solution for small kids bikes (know the facts). Please do the research and answer the questions you raise and be real...the placement of that lever is not close to the best...then send suggestions to them...your here to help us! Good luck.
