Kuat NV 2.0
The newest version of their flagship hitch-mounted rack still securely holds two bikes of any size (with no tools for re-configuring). The integrated cable locks for each side keep your prized cycles secure, and the foot-assisted pivot bar results in an effortless conversion from stored to ready =)
Most hitch mounted bike racks tend to rattle around in the receiver hitch, but lucklu Kuat thought of that for the NV 2.0. Simply hand-tighten the hitch cam to lock the rack to the receiver, and no more rattling!
We have about 300 road miles on the NV 2.0 so far, and look forward to many more in the future.
Kuat Trio
For our new Tundra build, we added the Retrax Pro aluminum roll-top cover with integrated T-slots for crossbars. The Yakima Corebar setup fits perfectly on top, so mounting the Kuat Trio took about 10 minutes. This setup is perfect for hauling a single bike when we have the trailer attached, or adding a 3rd when we’re running the NV 2.0 on the hitch. We’ll likely add another Trio on the Yakima bars next summer so we can take all 4 family mountain bikes on mounts.
The Trio comes with fork adapters for many bikes, but additional adapters can be purchased to make sure your fat bike fits. Like the NV, an integrated cable lock is included so you can be sure everything is secure.
You can find these and other Kuat rack options on their website.
