2025 Kuat NV™ 2.0 Add-On
KuatWe took our popular NV 2.0 hitch rack and increased the load. Expand your NV 2.0 to a 3-bike or 4-bike hitch rack and increase your carrying capacity in less time than it takes to decide who gets to sit up front. Double up with the NV 2.0 1-Bike or 2-Bike Add-Ons.
Description
Conceived for road trips, family group rides, and expeditions in the backcountry, we took our popular NV 2.0 hitch rack and expanded it. Our NV 2.0 Add-Ons have impressive features worth noting when you're looking for a 3-bike or 4-bike hitch rack for your vehicle.
The 1-Bike Add-On increases the 2" NV 2.0 to a 3-bike hitch rack that will carry bikes, including electric bikes, weighing up to 50 pounds per tray. Similarly, the 2-Bike Add-On increases the 2" NV 2.0 to a 4-bike hitch rack that will carry bikes, including electric bikes, weighing up to 40 pounds per tray. Attach our e-bike ramp (sold separately) and make loading and unloading heavy electric bikes effortless. On top of that, both Add-Ons will hold wheelbases up to 50" and tires as large as 5".
Just like the NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack, the Add-Ons have integrated cable locks long enough to fit any frame and keep your extra bikes safe and secure while in tow.
We can't forget to mention one of the coolest features of the NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack: the Trail Doc. Don't fear, that little integrated repair stand easily moves with each tray you add. Simply remove the Trail Doc, install the Add-On, and reattach the Trail Doc to the outer tray end cap. Continuing to make field maintenance easy and convenient…as convenient as bike repairs can be.
All these features, plus our No Worries Limited Warranty, make the NV 2.0 1-Bike and 2-Bike Add-Ons great additions to your NV 2.0 2-bike hitch rack.
