Questions & Answers

When we lower this rack with bikes on it, is it possible to do it with one person or is it necessary to have two people on it, one to push the lever, and one ?

Kuat racks can be raised and lowered by one person, but be careful as, with two or more bikes on the rack, you can easily fall to the

The NV-2 is what I have, but I don't remember to tell you what it is. I have a rack that is metallic grey and orange, with just the word "Kuat" on it. It is impossible to find any other id marks. Is this your fourth year with it?

If you have a serial number, please contact Kuat. If they know, they will let you know. Generally, you can tell if your vehicle is a NV or a 2, by looking at the release lever for the tilt function. Ours is an NV, and I've never As far as the difference is concerned, I am unable to describe it. The NV is the 2" model, so it does NOT differ in that regard.

Can you please provide the rack I need, instead of the add-on? Can you tell me where it is?

You can search for it on Google. As of 6 months ago, REI had them but Covid has caused them to run out of stock.

Is it still possible to get the NV add-on? What is zero)?

As a result of my contact with Kuat, they indicated they no longer manufacture them. Buying from a private seller is the only option. A website that sells used items, such as ebay or Craigslist.

Selected User Reviews For Kuat NV 2.0 Add-On

The unit is easy to put together
5/5

Gives you double the carrying capacity of your vehicle and is not too heavy to remove from the As a former owner of the NV2, I recommend it. My son visits from time to time, however, and so I like to ride more than one kind of bike on an outing. That being said, I have wanted to promote this ad for a while, but wasn't sure if it would be worthwhile. Here's what I can tell you. . . it's a yes! I was eager to put it to the test the next day after assembling it that day. It arrived very well packaged and was easy to assemble. I rode the day that I assembled it so I had already started riding. Firstly, a downhill bike that weighs every bit of the 50 lb per bike weight limit is loaded. I then grabbed a fat tire bike and a road-converted mountain bike in order to complete the duo. I knew I'd made the right choice the moment I had to choose which bikes (plural) to bring as extras! If you only need to carry three or four bikes for yourself and your crew, then this is the way to go. By the way, I thoroughly understand that some might not want to carry more than one bike when riding solo. In addition to the other comments, I also found that it adds some weight when loading and unloading it from the hitch, however, I would consider it to be a small As stated, the cable locks for the rear (the add-on) are a different key. However, it worked just fine and there were four keys included. As a bonus, one fat bike kit is included with the purchase, and if you call the manufacturer, they will send you another at no cost. This is very helpful since While walking home and back to the trail, I was grinning from ear to ear. Has no problem driving across rough highways and back roads at high speed. Thank you for buying. I am very pleased with Every tool needed for assembly is included. John, may God's blessings be upon you.

You love everything, but now you can double it
5/5

In the event that you already own a Kuat NV 2, this is a no brainer. Adding a roof top tent enabled me to transport four bikes in the back. Likewise, the extension works so well because of the same factors that make the Kuat so effective. The hitch mount is rigidly attached, thus preventing it from bouncing or rattling. My unit even had an upgraded lock mechanism in its integrated cable locks. Great bike cradle and tray. This longer cantilever does not alter the functioning of the program. As a side note, I would like to point out that this device is heavy, and the lever to raise and lower the pivot is hard to reach. A breaker bar can be built to reach through, or a reach-through device can be built.

I like the quality and the looks, but I like how it securely holds my bikes, too
4/5

There is no doubt that this is a great rack. The software works great. It gets 5 stars. The design is durable, secures the bike nicely, offers plenty of clearance when the tailgate is folded down and the bumper is folded up (bikes installed), has integrated locks and simple wheel clamps, is aesthetically pleasing, and Trail Doc is an impressive product. The following deserve a minus one star It has no scuff bar to protect the hitch hook knob (it can easily catch on the street when reversing on the street) The lever to unlock/tilt the rack is good, but difficult to reach with bikes on it, especially if you have a lot of them. The number of bikes is four. The latch handle on Thule and 1 Up needs to be remote. This trail documentary is cool, but it's a bit.

This is a very sturdy, well-made piece of furniture
5/5

The rack is quite heavy because of this! This is a very sturdy, well-made piece of furniture. The package arrived quickly and we are very pleased with it! As you can see in the picture, the rack has an add-on.

5/5

Besides the base rack, this extension, the workstand, the HiLo (extension), and a hitch lock, I also bought the hitch There's some good stuff in here. It was my dream to get the Sherpa, but my wife also wanted the ability to haul friends' bikes. Having driven a Jeep Wrangler and a toy car, she's convinced me that it's fun to pile into it and go on adventures like high school, but I must admit that it's also pretty scary. The machine is so heavy that I was worried she would not be able to remove or install it by herself, or even use The operating instructions are easy for anyone to understand, and we leave it running all the time. With this extender installed, you will have to figure out how to stand in order to reach the latch if your arms are short. I have a couple of 5'0" ladies here who can easily raise and lower the rack and grab their own e-cigarettes You can now attach the bike to Roll the front tire onto the rack and then lift the rear tire onto the rack. To our knowledge, the bikes are held together by hardware that seems to be easy to use and reliable. Our journey began in Kansas City and ended in Des Moines, Iowa Five hours) for a weekend and the bikes refused to move. As far as gear like this is concerned - there isn't much to say. Getting the application up and running is effortless. Everything works as expected, and it disappears The only thing I don't like about it is Neither do they offer a lock that contains both the HiLo and the extension PLUS one that has the same key.

I really like the appeal and quality of this one! It's fantastic to have a bike rack! My mind is not bothered by that
5/5

The money I spend on this bike will be invested in something with a lifetime guarantee and can be used in the future no matter what bike I buy. With 4 bikes, there is only one catch.

QC needs some work, but this is an excellent product
4/5

With this add-on I have extended the capabilities of the Kuat, making it an awesome system. When I opened the box, the add-on was scratched. That's why I only gave it 4 stars. When the box was placed in the box, it was damaged since the box itself was damaged. As you can see in the attached images, there is a distinct line or an original Kuat V. An item that has been scratched. I will scratch it myself. This is not acceptable for something so expensive. Due to the fact that it will get scratched over time I did not contact the seller or manufacturer.

The construction is excellent
5/5

Delivery in a timely manner! It arrived the day earlier than it was supposed to. The bike carrier is very sturdy and allows multiple bikes to be transported. The upgrade from my Thule bighorn rack has been a solid decision on my part. Easy to mount a 29er without any problems! Well worth the price.
