Description

The NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack is an impressively tough, high-end hitch rack for your car with a full suite of premium features, making it a standout among the competition. Bikes not wanting to share space on the hitch rack nicely? Easily dial in the fit with adjustable tire cradles. With three positions to choose from, sidebar and seat post clearance are never an issue. Are your hands full? That's not a problem for this hitch rack. The foot and hand pivot allows you to gently drop the rack with a tap of the foot so you can get your ride on the rack without lifting a finger. Here's the skinny on security: seamlessly integrated cable locks long enough to fit any frame and keep your bike off Craigslist while you enjoy that post-ride bevy. Add a locking hitch pin, and your bikes will be locked and loaded. We can't forget to mention one of the coolest features of the NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack: the Trail Doc. This cool integrated bike repair stand makes field maintenance easy and convenient…as convenient as bike repairs can be. The NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack can hold electric bikes weighing up to 60 pounds per tray and is expandable. Increase your carrying capacity to 2, 3, or 4 bikes in less time than it takes your friends to decide who gets to sit up front. Note: electric bike carrying capacity decreases with Add-Ons.
