Kuat NV 2.0 Base Hitch Bike Rack | 2-Bike | 2" Receiver | Black
Kuat NV 2.0 Base Hitch Bike Rack | 2-Bike | 2" Receiver | Black
Premium platform bike rack performance with the features riders actually use.
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base delivers the same dependable platform design that made the NV series one of the most respected hitch racks on the market. Designed to carry two bikes weighing up to 60 pounds each, it's an outstanding choice for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, electric bikes, and fat bikes.
The NV 2.0 Base secures bikes by the front tire, eliminating frame contact and protecting expensive carbon frames and custom paint. Integrated cable locks provide added security while traveling, and the rack tilts away from the vehicle for convenient rear hatch or tailgate access without unloading your bikes.
Unlike the standard NV 2.0, the Base model does not include the Trail Doc repair stand, making it a more affordable option while still delivering premium durability and ease of use. The Trail Doc can be added later as an optional upgrade.
