Kuat NV 2.0 Add-On

I have owned the NV 2.0 for over a year now and have brought a 3rd bike in the back seat with much effort to remove wheels and get gear in etc. I am single, however, I like to ride more than one kind of bike on an outing and also have my son who visits from time to time. That being said I wanted this ad on for some time but was wondering if it would be worth the investment. Well let me tell you it is! It came very well packaged and assembled in a very short amount of time. I had already ridden the day that I assembled it so I was eager to try it out the following day. The first bike to load is an older downhill bike that weighs every bit of the 50 lb per bike weight limit. Then a fat tire bike and a road converted mountain bike. I knew I had made the right decision to but the ad on the moment I had to decide which bikes (plural) extra to bring! I realize that everyone might not want to a=carry more than one bike if you are riding solo so if you simply need to carry three or four bikes for you and your crew this is the way to go. As other have stated it ads some to the weight when loading and unloading it from the hitch, however, I found it to be a nominal amount. The cable locks for the rear (the add on) are keyed differently as stated, however, no problems and it came with 4 keys. Also included is one fat bike kit and if you call the manufacturer they will ship you another at no cost. Helpful as I have many fat bikes. I was grinning all the way to the trail and back home. Handles rough back roads and the interstate at speed with ease. Very glad to have made the purchase. Comes with every tool needed for assembly.GOD BLESSjohn

Makes the rack quite heavy! But very sturdy and well made. Very glad we bought this! The picture shows both the rack with the add on.

Clearly one of the best racks. Works great 5 star : sturdy design, secures bike nicely, good spacing off the back for bumper folded up and tailgate clearance when folded down (bikes installed), integrated locks, simple wheel clamps/brackets, cosmetics, Trail Doc is cool.Minus 1 star for: no scuff bar/protection for hitch cam knob (can easily drag on the street when backing down driveways); the lever to unlock /tilt the rack is nice but HARD to reach with bikes installed esp. 4 bikes. Need remote latch handle like Thule and 1 Up. Trail doc is cool but kinda flimsy.

I bought this add-on to the Kuat and the whole system is awesome! I gave only 4 starts because the add-on was scratched when I opened the box. The box was not damaged so it was damaged when placed in the box. You can plainly see in the attached photos the distinct line or the nice original Kuat v. the scratched add-on. Not acceptable for something this expensive. I'll scratch it myself. I did not contact seller or manufacturer since it will get scratched over time anyway.

Quick shipping! Arrived a day earlier than promised. Very sturdy and allows to transport a variety of bikes. I finally upgraded from a Thule big horn rack and am not disappointed. Easily cradles a 29er, no issues! Worth every cent.

Great Bike Rack! I don’t mind. Spending the money on something with a lifetime guarantee and something that can handle any bike I purchase in the future despite Frame design. Only catch is with 4 bikes

This is the best bike rack out there. I bought a second one. No rattle. SOLID. Pretty.

Great quality and well designed. It's expensive but it will be the last rack that you need to buy. It's heavy to move around.
